I roughly have 5" of lift. The plan to acheive the gearing to turn 32's is stuff a motorcycle engine and transmission under the hood, mated to the subaru d/r. Use the subaru clutch still. It will take some work but it will be worth it...and fun.

Where it starts gobbling up the tire im going to cut out move back and reweld......i hope. I do have a decent offset and it really makes things worse.
-
Cool thanks, if im going to fit 32"s im going to have to trim my door.....and ALOT of firewall.
-
Wait...thats all it took to break a half shaft?????????????? ARe the EA82's Stronger?

A few of the buggyroo-no longer mine.

Cut the rear fenders so much they took about 1" off the door?

I test fitted 32's on a 5" lift, i need to trim the fenders and firewall a little more. The Sedamn is also going to get a fresh coat of HAMMERED Black spray paint. Ill get some pics up soon. Im still trying to track down an 1100cc+ liquid cooled shaft mototcycle engine.

Dude, i dont know where you live, farm? but it looks like it kicks arse. Pour some diesel in the tank and get them stacks smokin! Orion -
Yeah thanks bill, I read that question 4 times and wasent sure what Scott was asking.

Rear blocks are yours if you want them. The front 4" strut blocks will be available too.

Ok...here are the pics of the old vs new coil over shocks. With the old coilovers i had 3.5-4" of travel at the tire. With the new home made coilovers i now have 9-10" rear travel. They lighter spring could be a little stiffer....or ill just bob the rear to loose the extra weight. The 9-10" of travel might need a limiting strap. It depends on how soon i blow up the next rear CV. 4" lifted stock rear coil over. Up Travel Down Travel New Home made Long Travel Rear coil over. Up Travel: Down Travel: Compressed:
