Minipro13 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I was wondering what all do you have to do to lift a 1990 Subaru loyal turbo (ea82t) any help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 How big are you looking for? A 2" lift is just a spacer in the front and rear. Plus or minus the 1" crossmember drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minipro13 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Im thinking 4 inch, is there anyone one here that can build one? Cause the srj lifts are $500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 4" kits run about 500 easy. I'm starting my kits up but still working on the 2". I do however have some 4" rear lift brackets I'd sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prwa101 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) ^^ my bad! 1" subframe drop needs a stearing extension. And also with any lift where you drop the subframe. Edited August 17, 2014 by Prwa101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djellum Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 2 inch is the easy one. strut blocks front and rear and 1"+ subframe drop unless you don't put enough miles on it to stress your axles (also possibly a steering extension depending on what you have). I have a 2 inch without the sub drop and I have changed a ton of axles. the axles themselves hold up well but the boots don't, even with the lower band loosened and moved up. 4 inch will need a lot more, lowering the rear end, perhaps changes in brake lines, steering extension for sure, engine cables and hoses, much more complicated on the blocks to stay away from the strut tower. also bracing between some of the blocks to hold everything in place. if your asking such a question id stick with a 2 inch unless its a wheeler only or fun car you don't need to get to work.

ferces Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 My friends, how to drop the subframe for a 2" lift kit? Pictures please, I got a lift kit not installed yet because I use my Loyale daily doing at least 20 miles per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Welcome! / ¡Bienvenido! My friends, how to drop the subframe for a 2" lift kit? ... We use a Spacer for the Engine Crossmember, so it drops the Drivetrain, in order to keep the front Axles as straight as we could, otherwise the axles will wear 10X faster. Post photos of your Colombian Subie, we love photos here. Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
