Plus with the arb bar and winch on I need to add a few things to counteract the sag.
CMOHR, you're running the OME springs all round? I have the kings in mine, but they are the standard 27 front and 28 rear, not the HD or HDSP that i've read as specially designed by CRDSTU. Still has the original factory shocks on there as well, so next big spend is replacing all that and doing bushes and whatnot at the same time. I should be able to get another 10 years out of this thing.

I have now a white CRD 2.5 manual, and run the 31/10.5/15's on occasion on it, most of the time I'm running my street tyres, Mickey Thompson STX 265/70/16's .. Those EX HD rear coils of Stu's where originally designed and made specifically for my old KJ by Stu and it was the first ever to have them, They are still going in my CRD now after all these years, still around 4.5 inches of lift. In the front I'm actually still running my original heavy duty OME coils, and special magic to achieve more lift, but they are sagging more and more from the heavy CRD engine, will be updating sometime this year with Stu.
Personally, If you want a good setup, get some Mamba Alloys, 16x8 with 5in backspace, and pop on some 255/70/16's, either the STT's or some BFG muddies and you'll go anywhere you want, and have much less issues, and get away with a 2.5 to 3in lift.
