Liberty vehicles can't go anywhere near that high. If you were even able to accomplish it, you would surely roll over and your chances of losing control at highway speeds would be severe. A foot? Seriously? If you need to go that high, you need to get a pickup truck. To get the most heigh out of your liberty, you are going to need to lengthen your steering linkage, get new shocks, new springs, probably air bags in the back as well as get new front suspension arms appropriate to the new height. Also, don't forget you will need new gears in the rear at a minimum to be able to handle the added weight and diameter of your new monster tires. If not, you'll have no rear end quicker than you know what happened. Depending how your Liberty is equipped, you may need to swap axles all together. Getting extreme pieces like these will likely be custom made at a specialty lift/lowering shop with some steel fabrication equipment. Truly my friend, going that extreme on a Liberty is a bad idea unless you're really just trying to have one of a kind show car.

TO get a 12" lift on a LIberty you are going to need major suspension modifications. I would contact Four Wheel Parts, the major distributor for suspension lif kits and see what they can do for you.
Spacers get about 2" of lift, new coils and shocks can get you 4-6", but when you say 12" you are way up there.
Check the link and do some research

Check with Fly-in-hi off road and rancho suspension But other than the looks most jeeps work just fine stock. There is a fella in a club over here with a jacked up jeep with all the bells and whistles and there are precious few places he can go that a lot of stock jeeps can't go and that irritates him to no end, So if you are just doing it for looks Knock your self out, but other wise save your money, if you are serious about Off Roading just get better tires and a wench

Can't lift a liberty that high. It's independent front suspension won't allow it. You can do it to a wrangler, Cherokee, or grand Cherokee or even the older CJ's but a liberty can't be done.
