how did you measure the 4" difference? with only a 1" block, that would mean you gained 3" from the forester struts alone? That sounds like a lot....
3 inches is about right. . .

I have been considering a lift for my 98 Legacy for awhile, will these fit the 98?
Also what is the difference in using shocks/struts from the Outback in comparison with the Forester?
Thanks

the front will work, the rears would need to have the hole elongated, or new holes drilled, very easy to do
outback/forester struts are the same, forester springs however offer a slightly higher spring rate

There are some real differences Forrester v. OUtback struts, springs, and tophats.
Outback struts are 3/4 inch longer from bottom to spring perch.
Putting Forrester struts alone on a Legacy will result in saggy rear end. You need Forrester tophats (taller) or just go with Outback struts.
Best recipe is for even a bit more lift, 96-99 Outback struts, Outback springs. Forrester Tophats.

I made my own this weekend...even had the kids help by sanding the burrs off. Total cost with hardware was $36. Wish I would have seen this sooner though. I would have gladly paid the extra just to be able to bolt something on versus 4 hrs of fab time, HDPE shavings everywhere, and smashing my hand a couple of times while drilling the center hole before I got smart and made a jig.
