Fairtax4me Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Easy 2" of lift from 96-99 Outback struts (wagon or sedan) and 205/70/15 tires. A cheap set of 1" strut top spacers can be stuck on top of the Outback struts with no other mods. More expensive options that may require other modifications: King springs will get you another inch or a bit more. Kings are available through primitive racing. They're about $450 for a full set. There are a few places that sell full lift block kits ranging from 2-6 inches. $500-$900 last I checked. These require a longer steering shaft u-joint, and the bigger kits will require modification to other parts like the shifter linkage (for MT) and radiator/ other engine/trans hoses, and brake lines and such. Pics of my 96 here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/128834-my-96-legacy-l-lifted/ I'm on Outback struts and tires, and a 2" block kit.

Prwa101 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Do the strut swap first, you gain tire clearance from the lower spring perch and a much better ride. Then if it not enough lift on top of that set up. Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
