I had my local Napa do some fittings for the swap that I did a couple years ago. I had both the original lines and the Legacy lines, took them in and asked if they could put the original end on the rack side on the Legacy lines. Only cost me $30 for the fittings:brow:

I have a question on lift,if I build the spacers for the frunt struts 3or4 inches l do I need to off set them the 15 degres that I have read about or the longer thay are do I need more off set.

ok yester day and this morning I made 2" lift blocks and spacers for the rear, and got them all put on. I will try to down load pitchurs,

You will have to go by Model number sticker on the transmission to determine the diffs ratio.

Marshall, only Automatic Legacys had 4.11 gears. All Manual Legacys have 3.9 gears. 1996-'99 Outback Autos have 4.44, Manual Outbacks have 4.11

You are incorrect.

90-94 Legacies, MT = 4.11 final drive.

90,91 Legacies, AT = 4.11 final drive

92-94 Leagcies, AT = 3.9 final drive.

from 95 on, your info is correct.

To the OP in this thread. The car would have been 3.7 originally, so if it's 4.11 now, the diff has already been swapped.

[4play]

yes thay have been changed, thay are 4.111 with a speed not a d/r, I hope it well still make a good light duty off road rig.

to day i scored got some 27x850x14 6ply wild cats,now i need to get them mounted and get the lift made.

You can also switch to 4.44 gears in the transmission and rear diff if you find the bigger tires are bogging it down. The front ring and pinion are about $350 from subaru, plus the work to take the trans apart. Rear diffs are really easy to find out of later auto trans cars.

nice fab work man! Ill add to the trans/rear diff mystery: my legacy was AT and had a 3.9 gear ratio. this was a 92 L wagon

I built some 2" spacers and put them on the top of the struts,looks perty good but now I have bigger tires I am going to nake a bigger lift, I have some 2x3x1/4 wall tube that I will be putting on to rase it up more, hope it is enuf.I will try to take pitchures.

Drill for 6 lugs.... I may have to try that some day, the way 13" tires are getting so scarce.
