Nice truck, how much lift does it have? How much hp/tq from the engine? Any mods to the drivetrain?

Okay guys stop rubbing it in! lol
Don't worry one day when I grow up...oops I mean when my kids grow up and move out I hope to get one of those pulling monsters 
Seriously really nice looking truck. I like all the Big 3 offerings but the Fords have a special place in my heart.

I have almost the exact same truck (purchased in 2009) with 7500 miles on it.
Aside from being a bit thirsty if you're heavy on the pedal it certainly gets the job done!
Enjoy and congrats!

Thank you!!  . It's a 6" lift on 325/65-18 (35x13) Cooper Discoverer STT tires. The suspension is all height adjustable so the front can gain up to another 3" if desired but the rear is currently close to maxed out. The rocker panels are currently 23" off the ground and the height clearance barely clears 7' by only a small fraction of an inch.
The engine and drivetrain are all bone stock so I honestly don't know the HP/TQ. I just know that it has enough to tow my trailers pretty well and I can lay down double stripes on the pavement from a dead stop while in 2wd with the traction control disabled.

Nice Ride! Love the look of the new Libby's.
Such a shame you can't get it with the CRD anymore though. 
Not that the gasser would have any issues pulling that trailer.

Thanks.
I love my Liberty. I was shopping for an Xterra or 4Runner, although I loved my co-workers Liberty.

I have been looking for one of those for the past three years. Actually I have been looking for a WT model, without all the bells and whistles. I just want the LBZ and Allison 6 speed.
Nice looking truck.

Hi. Long time lurker here but decided to post a photo of my truck and trailer. This is not a conventional TT but the Cargo Trailer will be converted inside with a folding bed, cabinets, small sink and a few other conveniences. The trailer will be used primarily this summer for hauling a dirt bike and off-road camping at forest recreation sites etc.
