wont work for you, your only option if you want a lift is OME 790 front and 948 rear, thats the Old Man Emu Heavy Duty CRD coils. If you piece it together your looking at about $650 shipped. |

here is what I would do if I were you and pretty much what I am running: Rancho RSX17004 $48-rear shocks http://www.amazon.com/Rancho-RSX17004-R ... 617&sr=8-1 Rancho SX17505 $78-front shocks http://www.amazon.com/Rancho-RSX17505-R ... 684&sr=8-1 OME Coils $72 each (last I knew and you need to call him to order them) http://www.dpgoff-road.com/site/contact.htm TeraFlex Extended Bumpstops $22 each (p/n 1903200) http://www.trailquest.com/teraflex/KJ/s ... l#bumpstop for the rear bumpstops you can use stacked hockey pucks and bolt them down. For the front clevis you just need to run to the local hardware store and buy some 2” conduit nuts. The rear isolator you can just buy from your dealer for about $15 each and the p/n is 52088707AA |

Just curious why it wouldnt work?Is it because of the added weight of the diesel? |

yep, I doubt that the spring rate of the terraflex coils are even as high as the OME HD for the gasser, but OMe makes coils that can support the added weight of the CRD. Plus OME is tried and true. |

The Teraflex lift dosent come with coils.They use a metal spacer bracket that mounts on top of the front struts(in between the strut and upper mount) and a poly spacer for the rear. |

oh sorry I didnt look at it I just assumed it was a suspension lift. in that case ya it probably would but the ride and handling wont be as good as the OME lift. |

WAY TOO much lift, a CRD is limited even more than the gas KJs bc of the CVs |

not bad but still too much for me lol you can piece together an OME HD and add some spacers to make your own Frankenlift for $300 less. Your not going to buy a lift are you?? |

Holy mackerel going way of-topic, Batman! The Terraflex 2" kit is the only OTT spacer kit that comes with extended bumpstops..yes sir! So it works. For gas or diesel. No need to change springs or shocks, you use the stuff that is already there. 
You can get them from Trailquest.com Remember to extend the rear brake line on your '06.

Neither would I, never done it so I was only passing on what I've read here. I've seen some pictures yesterday...now where was that? And you don't extend the brake line you just lower it. Now where are those pics... You could always ask TJKJ, he did a couple already. |
