83 GL/EA81 Suspension upgrades??

Featured Replies

Hello all!! 

Sorry if it’s already written up on here but I can’t seem to find it...I’m planning on lifting my GL Wagon soon and I’m going to replace the shocks and struts when I do so as well they’re pretty BAD. I found stock replacements but I’m wondering if anyone knows of an upgrade option even if it’s off of just another car....wany more of a coil over style in the front and the rear if that’s even possible. TIA

I have had an SJR 4" lift on my 1983 GL Wagon for almost 10 years now and I really like it. I have not had a CV boot or joint go bad in either the front or rear. I am pretty sure I used Rancho RS5000 shocks in the rear as they are longer for the lift. I am using stock struts in the front. I hope this helps.
