1980 DL wagon lift questions

Featured Replies

I'm looking to do a 4" lift (or more). I've been researching it (on usmb) for a while now. I haven't found enough info on how and where Subie owners are lengthening the steering input shaft... secondly, I'd like to make my own lift. Does anybody know where I can get a good set of plans??? (After reading the "BOSS EA-series lift kit" thread, it sounds like Bill Omlin is not making them anymore.)

I can send you the front strut extensions, the rear is tricky as it has seperate setups for each side , steering lower connection is cut in half then sleaved with tubing and welded

That would be great, thanks!

 

So.... cut the shaft between the rack and flex joint? Or do you mean closer to the flex joint/firewall side? Guess my question should have been what side to cut ;-)

index the two sides of the coupler before you cut it to add the extension, Scott used to have very good pictures of that - so good I followed them and it was dead on. I can't find them. Scott can you post any? it'd really clear it up for him.
