Will not last but a few months under the weight of the CRD.Stock CRD front coils are 410lbs and rusty's coils are rated at about 300lbs,same as the stock gas KJ's front coils.

TJKJ is on point. Mine is not a CRD but......before I knew any better I bought it and it sagged over 1.5 inch in 9 months=wasted money!!!! and the ride was too soft. Also customer service from those guys sucks!!! I emailed them with my problems and they said they would do some checking an fix me up, whatever that meant.....Anyhow multiple emails later from me to them they said they were waiting on there "guy" to give them the measurements of stock suspension, I let them know what the measurements were but apparently i wasn't their "guy" so they didnt respond. So long story short the KJ RUSTY's lift is crap! and so is their customer service.
Sorry to be long winded just figured I'd share my experience. Cheers :D

Its being installed this morning I guess I'm taling a chance. Tires rubbing bad and I need to get the extra height over the OME. I don't really do any off roading just some trails. I need to re coupe some of my money and sell the ome for 450 $

If you weren't going to listen, then why did you ask?

I think I'm getting crabby in my old age...

OME Lift is nice and easy to install with a top plate and clevis spaced up front and 2 extra isolators in the rear and you will be set for 2.5" all day long and if done right last atleast 80K.

Audioboy I have a top but don't know what or how to do a clevis lift and as far as the isolators in the back wouldn't the shocks be too short
