CRD springs on a Gasser? Does this work

swyszomirski · **Joined:** Sat Oct 01, 2005 2:59 am **Posts:** 286

I have the Detours winch mount and a MileMarker on the front, and I have lost about an inch of clearance cause of the weight. I talked with a guy at old man emu and he said the CRD springs should level it back out. I just wanted to see if anyone else had done something similiar.

I think the OME 927 HD coils should work. The CRD springs would have too high of a spring rate.

OME 927's----400lbs spring rate
Stock CRD coils----410lbs spring rate

Not much difference there.

KJ04 has this setup now I think or maybe he went on to OME CRD springs can't remember

OME 790 CRD Springs are 500 lbs

If the stock springs are 400 lbs and the 790's are 500 lbs and the winch combo is around 110 lbs then if the springs are the same height then it should level out about where I want right?

Not exactly,the spring rates for coil springs are messured in lbs,but that is how much weight it takes to compress the coil 1" not how much extra weight they can carry.So bassically the OEM CRD coils take 820lbs of weight to compress 2",the OME 790 CRD coils take a 1000lbs to compress 2".Your 110lbs up front does not warrent 500lbs springs,the OME meduim,OME HD(927's),or the OEM CRD coils will be more then enough to support a extra 110lbs up front.My "non" soft ride SkyJacker coils(425lbs) have been holding my ARB with a WARN XP9500 winch for 3 years,40,000miles,and many wheeling trips just fine,that's about 190lbs.

tjkj2002, would you happen to have a part number? Just to make sure that I get the right springs.

Thanks for all the input.

For what springs? If it's for some CRD coils ask in the CRD section,might find some cheap.

JL Rockies was just trying to give some away recently... he may still have them.

Do it like they do it on low riders just cut the darn springs. :lol:

Yeah, I was trying to get rid of them when I was packing up the garage before the big move east. At the time I was hoping that someone local wanted them because I did not want to bother with packing them and shipping them.

The moving posse threw them in the trailer so I still have them in FL now. I am still not excited about dealing with shipping them out, where do you live?

I live in California, so the shipping would be high most likely. How much do they weigh?

shipping springs is not that costly I just shipped out a set of OME Heavy Dutys for like 16/18 bucks I think and that was in the big heavy OME box

JL Rockies, if you are willing to ship the springs to Cali. Shoot me a pm. My zip is 94544. Give me a price.

I still have not unpacked so I don't really know where they are right now. If you were local, you could help me dig through the boxes in the garage.

JL Rockies, I understand about getting un-packed.

So, if I call the stealership next week, should I just ask for a pair of stock 2006 CRD front coils?
If anyone has part numbers they could post, that would be great.

thanks for the input.
