Hola senõrs
heres a pic from today. again, fully loaded ( instead of roof rack w/ gear the stuff is inside, some small stuff in pop-up ) and pulling pop-up. the tongue weight isnt much but it is something. the cooler is now inside Jeep also as I cant use receiver rack.

As a way of introducing myself, let me start by saying I have an 07 WK CRD. I love this forum so far, though I have not read a lot of it yet. Have a "wrenching tendency" on cars and motorcycles, but I am no expert mechanic. I do like it here that things are explained more to the Layman's level.
Ok, so I had researched suspension upgrades/lift before joining this forum, and had made up my mind to go with Old Man Emu HD (spelling it out due to similarity with OEM).
After reading this thread I think I would benefit from MLL. Besides the lift, I like the idea of a stiffer back since I will carry a motorcycle on the hitch. What I am not sure about is wether it will be good to mix it up, I.e. OME shocks and springs front and OME springs with MLL back. Also, if I should get the F150 or wk ones. I would like further lift, but would not like excessive rake an want to fit in my garage. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Fernando

Mixing the OME with the mll is fine. With the F150 ones your looking at about 1.5" of lift I think it was and a little less with the stock replacement. Both setups work well with loads.

I know the XK is a bit heavier. Is it the same with the WK? I.e. are shocks the se length?

It's all the same on both the XK and WK the F150 were just longer to compensate for having a lift on are jeeps.

Yeah i'm running the OME HD and F150 load leveler combo. If you're going to run this combo, primarily on a CRD WK, make sure you also install a set of 1/4" strut spacers up front or you'll end up with a lot of rake. If you're not planning on going offroad at all, a set of load leveling air bags may be a better option if you dont want to run the extra spacer up front.
I was concerned mainly because of the difference in weight between the XK and the WK. I know that OME springs are the same, but thought maybe the XK weight would make them sag more. I will have to look into those spacers: is 1/4" enough to make it level or keep the stock rake? Thanks
My WK has the 2" lift with about 107,000 miles. The front and rear shocks are stock. It appears the rear is sagging. I am planning on installing the F-150 load levelers this weekend (or next Tuesday). I'll take some before and after pics for the forum.
