Hi guys,
Been on the list for a while but not posted much, try to read lots.
I have a 2006 CRD, about 130,000 Km on it now.
Rear shocks now seemed to be bad now,,, very stiff in the -10000 degree temps we have had lately. So I have shocks on order, nothing special just KYB's.
I have been reading about the lift kits and it's basically left me confused and thinking it worth not doing anything on these CRD's.
Ultimately I would like some more ground clearance, from tire change and lift kit.
I am not cheap, I drive a lot and prefer not to be left stranded on the side of a rarely used highway, so I have no problem buying the right stuff. Secondly, I would like to be able to plow my road, as I have to do it by ATV at this point and the fun is going out of the pretty quick lately. I would want a quality plow that is heavy enough for the task, not some "driveway" quality unit that will last a year or two
If I do springs, is there anyway I can get stronger ones then OME's 500 lbs versions, or do I need to if I get a plow?
Will there be front CV issues with my CRD and springs as I read into in another thread ?
Is there some air bags or something that can bolster the rear springs when pulling a trailer?
Lots of questions I know, and I will thank you all in advance for any and all help.
