I need to know how thick the actual OME coil springs are for the CRD front and rear. If anyone can tell me that would be awesome.

Perfect. I'm thinking of having the OME springs stretched another half inch and then re tempered. Should get me around 3 inches of lift.

Why not just use a top plate of clevis spacer. Your going to be at the limit of the shock as it will be close to its max extended length. It will ride like doo doo when the suspension drops as you will be over extending the shock.

Wouldn't do it, want a bad set of springs afterwards OK but sure wouldn't go that route. Plus the fact you just don't stretch springs out to give lift like that Height of the springs ahs nothing at all to how high it will lift a vehicle
