Wilmo, your research is very informative. I've bought an 05 kj at the end of last year and am looking at a lift later this year.

Thinking the lift is the way to go, but am interested in other opinions.
You mentioned that a lift over 3" is not advisable; however a 3.5" lift should settle down to 3"??? (or not?) my KJ is 680 from rim. Do you suggest that wider tiers fitted to a standard 16" rim is advisable after a lift?
Any feed back would be appreciated

Ask wooders he should ve recieved strut relocaters for the front and speak to to him regarding the springs and spacers, he is very helpful.

Hi,
Thanks, I've spoken to Mark at Suburban & got some good advice on what to do. It's now a matter of counting the cash & checking the insurance.

Just an update, I am working with ARB on an extra HD front coil for the CRD at the moment. The purpose of the coil will be to hold up the CRD with Steel Bar + Winch + Spotties + Bash Plates ect.

The current OME 927 isnt upto the task, even without a Winch.

I will post more info as it comes to hand.

Excellent news Stu!

A snorkel equipped KJ CRD with 'the new' ARB springs would be unstoppable!
