I was reading the offroad threads about lifting my EA 81 wagon. I read about the method with 4 2" square tube blocks for the front and tightening the rear torsion bars in the back. Now the rear is a cinch but I have a few questions with the front.

 

1: they are 2" tall but how wide?

2: do I need to offset the holes or slot the strut towers? If so how much?

 

Thanks

If you lift the EA81, with out dropping the engine and transmission down the same distance as you lift it at the struts, it will break the DOJ on the front axles. These EA81 model axles can not handle the sharp angle of the lift with out properly spacing out the other parts of the drive train and engine.

So basically its blocks everywhere, with an extended steering linkage and brakelines,
