an what size tires you running?

well, i figure that the lowest point is the rear pumpkin, or possibly the pinch weld. i have yet to do an official measurment

 

205/65R15 Goodyear Regatta 2s. one size smaller than an actual outback, being 205/70R15. In a previous post, i said tat my co-workers are probably getting me 215/75R15 Kelly DT/Rs for my wedding present.

 

 

'scuse any mis-spellings....many glasses of wine.

Nice!!

Is that struts only, did you do a lift as well or was that someone else?

 

c'mon now, the green gods have to fess up to their Superu inspiration ;)

Yesa', i must give credit where credit is due

 

 

how much was that tube bumper, and from where did you get it, oh Muse

But yes yes, Thank you, thank you...

 

Its really cool to see another new generation getting off the ground.

 

i know there's some Candians thinking the same thing...

Mudrat (aka John) has recently put a dual range 4x4 into a forester...

 

Now we need to get some of that action going in these legacys!!

 

Keep it up and let's see some pix when you get the new meats on it too!!

 

 

 

That's a mudrat specialty!

John ROCKS, his work is all over this board!

Yes yes, thank you, thank you...:cool:

 

 

No its really cool to see more legacys off the ground..

Its frustrating cuz when i began to look into it, BYB and these guys had lifts for old gen, and new gen, but not 95's (like mine)!

 

But through some looking i found out about the strut swap, insta-lift option (especially good for a daily driver type) and was stoked!

 

Cool to see more doing the same, and the OBSs too..

 

Keep us posted with pix of the new meats too, and call up john, look into a tube bumper and you'll be the envy of all your frineds, stranger will leave notes on your car in admiration, and you will walk taller :brow:

 

 

John's in Oregon...

i can't imagine how much it would cost to ship that thing from oregon to pittsburgh.

 

did it bolt right on, or was there some fabrication needed?

John's actually got a jig made for this bumper.

Its essentially the same bumper on an '04 baja, an '03 outback wagon and now my 95 sedan...

 

Yeah it really just bolts on!

 

get in touch with John he'll help you out and probly work with you for sure...

Tell him I sent you :grin:
