CRD OME lift

[brianawd]

So been search the net and I keep getting different info on how much lift you will get on a crd with OME 790 front and 948 rear.
Some of what I have read say's you get 2in of lift or 2.5in of lift or 3in of lift. So the question is what is the amount of lift.

Just springs alone, no top plate or clevis
If OME full spring kit, you'll be about 2.25-2.5 above new stock height.
You may gain more depending on how sagged you are now

Thank you for the info.
Right now front is at 19.25in both sides.
rear is at 19.75 both sides

Plan is OME 790 front springs/bilstein's with 3/8 clevis should be at 22.5 front
and OME 948 rear with 2 extra insulators should be at 23.25.
I already have the front and rear bilstein's. Just need to order the springs.

I would only do one extra rear upper iso, unless you like the rake an extra one would provide. Bilsteins are good, but seems like the OME front shocks do better on the CRDs

I'm not a fan of the OME shocks. Had few to many on my discover go bad
Once I switch to bilstein's no more shock issues.
I don't mind the rake look. It's more for a 200+lbs of ski gear my friend
And I have with us all winter long. Most of the wheeling I do is in the mt in the
Snow heading to where we can do some back country skiing.

Thank you again for the info. If the bilstein's die or I don't like the ride
I will take your advice and try the OME again.

I have a 06 CRD with OME lift. My raised a solid 3". Was a challenge installing but a great lift.

I put the Frankenlift II on my 06 CRD, logged more off-road miles on actual terrain than anyone with a CRD and went anywhere I wanted with the 2.5" lift and 32" tires. No red powder coated parts required either.

I do acknowledge that the schemes to get more lift looks totally badass at the mall however.
