I know its not a CRD specific issue but my Jeep is a diesel, and you guys are helpful so I post here! The Jeep has a good lean (2+/- inch) to the left, its the rear. I assume that the rear springs are just wore out after 115,000 miles and its time for replacement. Is this common? I read that its cheaper to just replace the old stuff with a decent lift rather then a comparable cost of stock stuff, is this true? If so what would be a decent not crazy pricy lift that would get rid of all the worn stuff? thanks! |

i love my 40mm (1.5") lift from H&R but 1. you can't buy one in the US 2. It was not cheap. I know there are several out there but if you are wanting to go back to "stock" a good set of springs and dampeners are in your future. There was a huge increase on the rears when I replaced them. No more sagging butt.  By jinstall at 2010-04-17 |

WHy in the heck would it not be available in the US? |

90% KJ owners want ot go 2+ inches, so no real market for them. |

H&R was out of WA state I believe... Bellingham, a few hours from where I grew up. Give 'em a call, My CRD leans to the left, EVEN AFTER the OME springs... hmmm, my imagination? Tape measure time. |

H&R NA is worthless, they did not even know they had a set. I had to call my contacts in Germany from Motorsports to get the only set in NA released to me as a favor. Try someone in Europe for a set. |

Try someone in Europe for a set. So they are a German company, with the Bellingham office being the NA HQ? Kinda like ARB? Learned something today

Hi, If you go on Ebay you will find them, need to go on the German one. Yes they will ship from Germany, at least they would ship to the United Kingdom from there. You can email them from Ebay, but you might need to send the email a couple of time and the answer back in english. Or they this directly ( he answered back to me) http://www.tuningtrend.de GEBHARDT Marketing & Service GmbH Neulandstrasse 28/1 74889 Sinsheim Telefon: +49 (0) 7261-920 116 Telefax: +49 (0) 7261-920 110 E-Mail: info@tuningtrend.de Internet: http://www.tuningtrend.net Geschäftsführer: Fritz Gebhardt HRB: 341024 Mannheim hope this helps.

If I do a lift I would like about 3in, and I would also want to replace the shocks and some other stuff that is due at 110,000 miles. I have owned the jeep since 55k miles and I assume al the suspension is factory stuff so I'm sure it's due! |
