Any lift kit using the Old Man Emu (OME) HD or Mopar CRD springs should handle the weight fine. My OME HD Frankenlift only dropped around 1/2" after I installed the ARB bull bar and Warn M8000 winch (steel cable). If you own a CRD, you might want to use custom springs to handle the extra weight of the diesel engine.

If you have a CRD, All J's has the new OME custom 500 lb. rate front coils now for the Frankin lift.

Or if you are not looking for the "full" frankinlift treatment just get you some OME HD's
also depending on your milage you may want to replace the struts while you are at it
We only have 2 lifetd KJ in my part of the state and both are '03's with ~ 45k and both needed new struts at 36K thus both got lifted

I dont have the Frankenlift, just the OME Heavy dutys, Rancho struts and small clevis lift with the ARB. I pieced it together with springs/struts from AllJs, rear Ranchos from Summit Racing. Ride is great, no sag after over 24000 miles.

There will be a few extra sets of CRD front springs available in the next few weeks because of the new Frankenlift. I bet you could get a good deal. I promissed mine to Troysterr if he helped me put on my Frankenlift. I would ask around and see who is putting on one of the new Frankenlifts.
