My mom drives a 2005 CRD, has around 60k on it. She had my dad have been complaining about the ride lately. The springs are definitely sagged. I did my own lift on my gasser, and would probably stick with ome and bilstein parts on hers. It's her daily driver that never goes off-road and the main priority is going to be ride quality. I'm looking for what part numbers I should go with. She specifically doesn't want it lifted higher than stock.

Yeah what he said to stay at stock height but it may be about the same money to go with the Ironman stuff if she can be talked in to some lift depending on the cost of new stock CRD springs.. I do know what you mean about the ride getting rough I'm at 76,000 and its started feeling like mine has gotten rougher from at least 65,000 on. I plan to get the OME soon.

I'll see what she thinks of maybe just a little lift. With no height adders, maybe OME 927's in front would be ok.

yeah check the costs and options and see what she thinks. If she won't like even a little lift and is not in to climbing up in to it any more than it was new then new stock springs with good struts and shocks may be the best way to go. She has to be happy or you might never stop hearing of it if she is like my mom can be.
