I'd really like to try it.
I think it would also be cool to put some meats on an SUS. That's my dream car...Do people do that?

Easy john....I know it's got alot of subaru in it, I just meant that it's not even like your hatch is (or at least was) with only a tcase and custom framework/lift added, where the suspension, steering and almost all the drivetrain is subaru. this ones got some non-subaru goodies

Yes, a 3" or 4" lift is nearly identical to most any EA82 lift kit. Easily done.
r/PK OZified Lift Kits
Hehe I recognise the photo of the lifted blue Vortex (aka XT) on this site - coz I took it

That car was (still is?) a beast.

that xt6 is cool. whos green lifted gen1 wagon is that?
it was skankinpickle's (hence the name...), but I think he sold it to a non-board member
I think as far as tire sizeand lift install goes, it's virtually the same as any EA82, 28" or 29" tires fit well

i talked to AAA about supplying XT rear lift items and EJ series (impreza) stuff for the front in the hopes that would work since impreza struts can fit on the XT6....but that wouldn't work either for some reason. i forget why, but you could find the AAA thread (it's a long one) about the christmas group buy and see commentary there.
good luck and post pictures, i for one would hope it's an XT6!!
