Sundog Detailing Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 This is just step one, I still have to get an alignment, larger tires are coming soon, and I have a trailing arm issue to work out but so far so good. This lift puts me 2" higher than stock and 5" higher than I was. Before: After: Rally-X season starts in Oct so now I'm ready, and I'll be doing some offroading as well.

Sundog Detailing Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 I used the suspension from an 05 Forester, there is a company that makes a 1" lift block kit but I wanted a little more. I have camber bolts in both front and rear so alignment will all good, the trailing arm issue affects caster but I know what I need to do to fix it, it's just a matter of fabbing up new mounts where it attaches to the chassis.

How she handle the turns Last year at the first Rally-X the snow was mid thigh, so yeah it can get plenty deep, not a problem now though. It turns fine, I still have the large front sway bar but removed the rear sway bar and sub-frame lock bolts to get the articulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Subies are unstoppable in the snow! Why not some blizzaks or another snow tire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Detailing Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 the tires that are on in the pictures are my studded winters and will be staying on for the winter and then new larger tires. Jim, I'm going to leave it this way. I got really tired of scraping, harsh ride, and in general not being able to use a Subaru for what it was intended.
