The 927's are definitely too soft for the CRD - nose dips excessively coming off any bump off road no matter how hard you try to control pace, and braking in city driving. Go for the King's Stu designed or wait for OME to release heavier spring.
We have the 948's on the back as we tow a Kimberley camper. They work extremely well and have no criticisms. It doesn't seem to ride too hard around town but I don't have anything to compare it to. Compared to the original suspension, they control body roll on corners well.
Good luck with your decision. BC
Have you considered getting the CRDSTU spec springs?
Makes a huge difference.

I have kinds all round (CRDSTU upfront, normal rears).
Don't know about tough dogs. Haven't heard much about them with the KJ's.

If you do get a longer rear shock, regardless of brand. Get a set of thicker bumpstops put in IMO.

Do Tough Dogs make a front Strut for the KJ? Kings all round might be the go - as I heard OME springs are made by Kings anyway....the kings are cheaper.

Apparently they make front struts and rear adjust ables with 2" extra travel than stock.

Be interesting to see how they go if you do get the Tough Dog adjustables.
