I have already settled on the Daystar 2.5" lift for my CRD until I can swing for an OME stsyem. But there are a multitude of lift options out there! From Daystar's spacer lift to Rusty's lifts to Framken lift to Rancho bla bla bla...
I want to hear from other owners as to what real life experiences are with all these different lifts. It should be a helpful thread for other newbies!

Well first off- if you have a CRD, you pretty much limited to the OME, Jeepin By Al, CRD Franken, or Daystar. So that should help you narrow it down a bit.

I have OME HD's and installed all myself. I chose to not waste my time and money onANY spacer lift. Just my approach.

I would recommend that you save the money you are going be be spending on the spacer lift and get the OME CRD coils, if you went w/ the daystar your looking at 160 and then new shocks but if you saved it you would almost be half way to what its gonna cost for the coil lift

I agree. No sense in spending time & money to do it twice when you can save a little while longer and be sure of what you want and do it once the right way.

My hockey bump stops were $2, the construction adhesive was $1.
OME Springs about $300 for all 4. You could probably do better by shopping around.
OME front Shocks about $300 for 2. Maybe OME's are better shocks. Did not want to take a chance on the best for the front.
Rancho shocks $100 for 2 rear.
$20 for the spring shop to change the springs over to the new shocks.
Call ARB tech services to get the right springs, I got the 790's for the front, 948's for the rear.
You might need different springs depending on your needs.
Save up, do it right, buy what you can, when you can.
We put it together in 5 hours, first time ever.
Saved a lot but could have done it for less than $700 if I did it again.
You can do it.
Go for it.
