Another Lift my Ride post - 2003 Legacy

Featured Replies

2003 Legacy Wagon (not an Outback / OB). 

Wanting to lift it UP to more or less match an OB and add taller tires. 

I have the OB struts for the front, but for the REAR not sure if the struts, springs or BOTH are what create the lift in the rear? OR is it just the subframe spacer back there (plus taller tires)?  

Finding conflicting info on Subaru's part sites. But do see that KYB has two different part numbers for the Legacy vs. the OB. 

I've searched, but most posts are for those lifting their OB with spacers, or for the newer models. 

 

On my '97 Legacy  'L', I bought KYB OB struts and reused the stock L springs and it lifted it up. Exactly what  I was hoping to do w/the '03, but not familiar w/the newer multi-link setup. 

 

Thanks for any info....and Happy 4th of July!

Yes, not as easy as the older ones with 4 struts all the way around.  I've never checked the length of the rear shocks from one to the other.  I can't imagine you'd get much lift from them.
