| Post subject: | Bad springs or shocks? |
I recently purchased a 06 crd with a skyjacker 2.5 inch lift. It sits a little low on the drivers side that is noticable when driving behind it on the road. My question is what springs can i get or shock to remedy this issue. I want to maintain the lift. What are the pros opinions? |

I'd suggest a whole new OME lift with 790 springs in front ( and of course new front shocks) you could just do the front and run the rear The 790s are designed for the CRD and are rated at 500 lb The Skyjacker, if a later one, is only rated at 310 lb spring rate stock CRD is 410 lb. |

Thats sort of what i was thinking the answer would be. Guess i better start saving my pennies. I was hoping that i could just replace the springs or something. |

You could replace just the springs but the shocks are worn as well. Have to do them both to get a good overall ride, performance and handling If not whatever you don't replace will wear out the new parts faster |

With 160k on the clock its probably not a bad idea anyway. Looks like the ol' lady knows what to get for Christmas. |

Yeah, what tommudd said. Treat yourself to a set of Jeepin' By Al upper control arms. Even if you don't have contact between the upper ball joint and spring, the change they make to your front suspension geometry makes for a much nicer ride. |

A lot of libertys sit low on the drivers side. A new lift will help but might not fix it completely. I had to adjust my front coilovers and add two spacers in the rear on my KK. |

Might have to space it until i get a new kit. It needs tires first. Any suggestions? Sort of want a a/t tire. |
