A friend had an'06 CRD KJ that got into an accident and was totaled. I bought it from the insurance company for 1000.00. I found all the suspension parts needed to fix it for 500.00. Now Im just getting the body repaired 1800.00. So Ill have a reliable (yes like my CRD this truck never has had anything go wrong with it) CRD for 2500.00. Ok that said, I got an Old Man emu suspension for free from my friend that was never installed. Stock load CRD (926)front and medium(948) load CRD rear. So, my question is what can I do (read add) to get a full 2-2.5" lift out of this? I looked around on the site and couldnt find the information.

Thank you.

Well first are you sure they are 926s ??
If so those are rated at only 375 lbs, CRD stock ones are rated at 410 lbs
I only use the 790s on the front of a CRD which are rated at 500 lbs
Even the OME 927s are only 400 so actually less than the stock CRDs were
As far as getting 2.5 inches, thats what you would get with the 790s

Thanks Tom. I took off a sticker atatched to the spring on the strut assembly and it reads: OME-926 (O/N-456657.
On the back it says 0214. Now looking at the ARB site it says Diesel stock height 2926.... So I thought they were 926 the correct ones.
