June 9, 201213 yr Author Nice! Just out of curiosity, what did the King springs run? And they lift roughly 1.5" right? about $430 set of four springs, 1.5" is correct.
June 11, 201213 yr Looks good! You upgrading the tires now that you have more clearance? Looks like plenty of space inside those fenders.

June 14, 201213 yr Author half lifted...I did the rear strut lift... I have 12 1/4" at pinch weld in front of the rear tire. The rear diff I have 11 1/2" now... I'll finish the front tonight..
June 15, 201213 yr Author the rear was done using '03 SG struts, kings springs KSRR-33, Paranoid fabrications 1" strut spacers(HDPE) '02-07 impreza. Note: some chamfering required to fit strut tops. camber bolts from primitive Lower position.. Front lift is stock struts, king springs KSFR-32, primitive 1/2" strut spacers(HDPE) stacked. I now have 12 1/2" at the pinch welds(factory jack up points ) 11 1/2" rear diff. 9 3/4" at front skid plate. I also swapped my cargo basket from the outback (temporary) Edited June 15, 201213 yr by scoobyclimbs
June 16, 201213 yr Author Looks good! How tall are your tires in inches? They are stock tires 205/70R15 I have a set of 215/75R15 bfg a/t's (27.7" dia) I can bolt on now.. Mud terrains will be on soon enough..

Yeah I thought they looked a little small, so that makes sense. Those 27.7's would be real close to the rear struts, even with the SG rears. Mine measure a hair over 27.5 and there isn't much room at all. I'm sure with the right wheel they will be all good though.
June 16, 201213 yr You should see about moving this to the members ride section! x2... My car should head over there as well.
June 18, 201213 yr Many hours of washing , prep, primer, painting 5 wheels are done... THAT is going to look SIIIICK with the kings!! Might need a tint too

Might need a camber kit for the rear too, looks a little caddywompuss. Me thinks you may consider a touch of driveline lowing... Doesn't all that push you a touch over 2" greater than stock? Looks awesome G! the tires are gunna be full sweet sickness!
June 18, 201213 yr What do the CV's look like? My Outback has 10" at the diff and the CV's look like their lives will be considerably shorter.

I just installed it with rear camber bolt as well ..I just head down to the alignment shop right after.. I just took the pics as I had just fin..the lift and it was around the corner of the shop..as the sun was setting... cv's are not an issue...only at 3"lift will you have problems..All the aussie folks can verify on www.offroadsubarus.com The driveline is at stock level.. the diff. hasn't changed it's relationship..only the cv's (I'll assume that's what you were addressing..) my outback has the same lift of 2.5" and zero issues..for years now..

June 18, 201213 yr I immediately went through one front cv after my 2" lift, and now the other is making noise. Both factory Subaru axles too. Hopefully you have better luck than I did!
June 20, 201213 yr Author a couple short vids taken by my 8yr son...as I was clearing blowdown out to get to this awesome campspot.. @ Mt.Hood . No one had set foot there since winter..
