September 19, 201312 yr You could back that thing up a cliff with that rear approach angle! Looking good! Seems to be rolling right along.
September 21, 201312 yr looks rad whats the master plan for mounting the front of the spring? if you just stick a bolt through it, wont the axle try to twist it off when it articulates? or will the bushing be good enough to absorb that twist... *went back thru the pics* ok so nvmd it is bolted thru... i suppose this unit isnt going to have crazy rock crawler axle travel anyway, so maybe it doesnt matter so much.

September 24, 201312 yr Autozone has the Duralast reman 2WD Impreza axles for $44.99 + a core. Junk yards around here want $35. for a used one.
September 24, 201312 yr If you do not add a panhard bar you will end up ripping those shock mounts off. You WILL have side to side movement with those springs.
September 25, 201312 yr Author went with 8" strut extensions, I had a set of 5" from a Impreza I had , so I added 3" with the Outback struts for a overall 9" Lift Edited September 25, 201312 yr by Scott in Bellingham
