All,

I hope this question has not been answered too many times - if it has I am truely sorry, I did try the search. Anyway, I ordered OME 790, 948 and dampers. The question that I have is how much lift should this give me over a stock 06 CRD? I currently have the RRO combo lift that gave me ~2in. Thanks in advance.

More specifically I am asking are there any spacers needed? According to AllJ's site there are none - right? Thanks in advance.

No spacers because it's pretty darn hard to get those 500lbs springs compressed enough without the spacers as it is.

All-J's tried a small spacer on the CRD Frankenlift
however the CRD has a shorter axle on the drivers side,
this resulted in a more difficult install and several folks ripped CV boots,
so they decided that it was better without the spacer - slightly less lift
but you don't tear up things when you install it.

(and the stock 410lb's were hard with a wall mount spring compressor -
not sure about the best way to handle the 500lb ones)

Thanks for the resonses. I was afraid that my question was not clear and both of your answers were exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.
