machineit Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Who if those that say blocks are easy for a lift, probably didn't finish the job, probably puffing on the vape, this spoob is not for the weekend, lots of time and fitting, thought I had all to do, made parts and extras, my problem being placement of holes after following a vice of one that supposedly did a lift, now in the next few weeks I will give info for what has to be done in order to lift a 85 GL.

Crazyeights Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Agreed there are lots of details involved with doing a proper lift that may not be obvious at first look. Things like the steering shaft, brake lines, shift linkage, driveline and cv axle shaft angles, alignment issues, what tire and wheel combination to use, which shocks and struts to use, proper fasteners, it goes on and on... It's all been done many times and there is lots of information to be found on here. An improperly lifted rig can be quite dangerous The use of common sense and safe procedures are strongly recommended Edited June 4, 2016 by Crazyeights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I posted a lot of information and Photos regarding same subject; also on a '85 GL, here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/106807-improved-shock-absorbers-and-spring-coils-on-loyales/?do=findComment&comment=1302391 Yes, that's not easy, and people usually don't tell the complete story, so I wrote it as complete as I could. Kind Regards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
