I swapped a 2.5" lift (used) from an '05 gasser into my '05 CRD about 2 years ago. The front has been painfully stiff for awhile now so I'm looking at replacing gear all around. I'm seeing a mix of recommended OME PN's and would greatly appreciate clarification from the brain trust (TomMudd?). For a 2.5" lifted CRD with an ARB bumper w/12k winch, my understanding is these are the currently recommended OME part #'s: Front: Struts, either # NS131 or 9009 (???); Coils #2790 Rear: Shocks # N132L; Coils # 2948. As I'm looking at committing pronto, confirmations much appreciated. Also, given plans to tow regularly (w/ occasional tractor-grade local duty), I'm looking at installing the Airlift #60844 airbag setup to provide dialable rear load control. Thoughts appreciated. My current setup, all OME & installed new 6-ish(?) years ago: Front= NS131 struts, E927 coils. Rear= 379001 coils; shocks are OME but I can't find the #. These are probably still okay for a gasser, but I have a 90# ARB bumper & am installing a beijing 12k wench (re-greased & "waterproofed", lol). That load begs an upgrade. If anyone's interested this other stuff will be available after swap. Imho, the 927's are still fine = STIFF! Conversely, the 131's on front seem unforgivingly stiff, which I interpret as failing. For "normal" use the rear gear seems fine, too, but my load plans require a heavier rating. Thanks |
