Gwywnc Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 how do I lift the front of my 84 wagon? I think I would use two 2" blocks on each side of the front but the two studs wouldn't be long enough? Can some one help. My tires are rubbing, I lifted the back with the screw under the seat but the front still needs to be higher. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to do either one of these ^^^^^ and you can't fab it yourself, then you don't want to lift your car. It really is that simple Happy Holidays!

bratman2 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 If your car has the adjustable struts that is flat out the easiest way. They generally allow for 1-1.2" of height adjustment depending on model and if they are aftermarket or not. Soak like suggested. Try jacking the front up to get some of the weight off of them and even removing the front tires for better access. You will most likely need to adjust your toe-in out some like I had suggested on a post before. This will most likely correct you tire rubbing, it did on my 87 Brat when I had 195-75 tires installed.

Scott in Bellingham Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 2" you will also want to lower the engine crossmember as those EA81 axles don't hold up under all that lift, I can make the parts for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
