I am posing this as a feed back idea. I am going to lift my wagon, method is yet to be determined. I have a set of 31x10.5 tires, I know the limitations of the strut perch, body and axle angle. My idea is to remove the mounting socket from the strut and clean to its tube form then insert the cleaned tube into a longer socket re attache the adjuster to the new socket position for camber and weld solid to gain clearence for taller tires. Feed back is requested to ney or yea on the idea of increasing perch height on the strut.

I make a product for this, 2.5" lower lift brackets. But if im under standing you right this has also been done before. http://www.newenglandsubarus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6312&s=e6c2e2cb443e2768956c3738e9c7e9ab

 

This is a 98 forester on king springs, 2.5" lower lift brackets and a 2" subframe spacer.

 

Do you have pics , will you share your concept on the 2.5 lower lift mounts. Thank you

29" about max with stock Subaru struts, I've seen some ralley struts with a tight coil which gives more room for bigger tires, I can build whatever custom lift parts you need my store www.sjrlift.com. Scott , keep us updated as we like to see these things being built .
