Hi all,
Question in the subject. This lift use Bilstein shocks and seems interesting to fit easily 235x85x16 tires without any rubbing nor cutting.

Thanks for replies.

Hi Lyonel, although I'm not from the US, this lift is NOT recommended for CRDs; I think the most we can lift without getting severe problems with the CVs etc is about 2.5 ins (about 60mm).

Salut....ca va?
The only reason it wouldn't work on a CRD is the spring rates, not sure about the rate.

But you can lift a CRD just as much as a gasser, just have to have the right lift...

Not quite - as I recall reading from when this question was asked before, because the front diff on the CRD is more over to one side than the gasser, the length of one of the drive shafts is a limiting factor. I could be wrong, but I recall that when this lift first came out, someone asked if it could be used by the CRD and the above was the reply.

you are correct, look at Frankenlifts for example they have different ones, spring rate is higher and lifts amounts are less

Yes, the max on the CRD is around 2.5 +/-..... it is limited because of the CV's. Also, the front spring rate on the frankie CRD coils is around 500 lbs where as the coils that are used with that lift are around 375 lbs.

JBA will have a 2.5 lift with the adjust-a-strut system some time next month. I don't know if he will have the CRD coils ready at the same time, but you could always contact him....

As for the OP's original question, I'm thinking about it!

Btw; I may have to procrastinate a bit longer if there is going to be a 2 1/2" system?....
