I recently bought a 91' loyale sedan and I'm looking to lift it. The simple ingenious lifts i've seen on this site have me considering a 2" lift or maybe 4".

 

My question is if I lift the loyale 4 inches do I need to lower the drivetrain components to avoid extra wear on CVs? If so, how much and exactly which spots on car need lowered? (rear axle, front x-member etc...)

 

I appreciate any help!

2" is pushing it without other mods. most 4" kits include 3" subframe and diff drops. the goal for ground clearance is tires. look to sjrlift.com or others for goodies. also, your car is ea82 if you didn't know. Happy Lifting!

Ahh, okay thanks for the info. Yeah i've checked out the sjr site a FEW times lol.

My brother is an engineer and a good friend is a welder so between us I plan to build the lift ourselves.

 

I know the camber offset for the 2" lift is 15*, what about for 4"? Knowing me I'll go 4 inch lift

My lifted EA82 wagon is sitting on about 3". It does ok, but it does chew through axles a bit faster than it used to. Of course, part of that problem is the additional torque from an ER27 swap.

ummmm maybe.... ya think! :lol:

my best advice: talk to the welder and ignore the engineer.

 

i have a 2" lift without dropping the drivetrain on an XT6, so far so good. stick with Subaru or MWE axles. i installed the lift on the car i had just got which came with brand new CV axles on it, still had clean nice stickers on them - they clicked with the lift. installed my MWE axles and it was fine.
