A few years ago I used to have a '95 legacy lifted on XT forester strut and springs.

 

 I now would like to lift my '03 legacy and am wondering what parts i would need off an outback to do so. I have a complete smashed '00 outtback to scavenge parts from. Here is a quick list of what i am thinking...

 

To start:

-outback struts and springs

-subframe spacers 

 

Later on:

-aftermarket strut spacers

-maybe some king springs

 

Just wondering if anyone has lifted a 00-04 legacy? Also what's the biggest tire i can run with the outback suspension setup?

 

Thanks,

Ian

i just lifted my 00 lego L with 01 outback struts and springs. nothing else.

I actually just posted in that thread at request of the originator, and skipped right passed your BH Legacy. That looks about right to me as a great starting point, plus I have all the parts already.

 

Thanks man.

HighGuys makes 2", 3",4" and 6" lifts for your model

 

Kits will work w/ or without outback struts.

Thanks for the link.

 

I am going to go with 00-04 Outback struts - 05 Baja turbo springs running some 205 or 215/75r15's.

 

running some .... 215/75r15's.

that tire will increase your ground clearance another 1.5'' over what ever the struts and springs give you.

 

it will also make your speedo off by12%. you will be going 78.5 mph when the speedo says 70.

 

it will also change the power curve, the car will be slightly more sluggish off the line.
