TheYeti Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 '97 LOBW. King lift springs and KYB gr2's. Regular all season tires for now.

Roundeye Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hey, leave KickAssFlash alone. He was not flaming. I see he is now looking for a Subie too. I once had a couple of Jeeps, but I came to the dark side. Can't say I ever had a Rustang though:D I had a Buick Grand National and a WRX....Mustangs were the ENEMY. They don't bother me now, I don't see too many of them on the trails. I like 'wheeling with Jeeps. Jeepers are some of the coolest people you will meet on the trails. I've had nothing but positive responses from them about my wagon. Plus, if you are in a Subie and you are 'wheeling with big Jeeps, you are in a no-lose situation. If you can't get over something they did, so what. It's a station wagon. BUT, if you get over something they cannot.......to them it's kindof like getting your @ss kicked by a 100 year old lady with a walker.

superu Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hmm, banter banter, slap slap.. Lets get back on topic and to the original question, hmm 95 legacy L with '97 outback struts and springs 205x75 14 cooper discoverer ATs I'm ruinning 9.5 rear 8.5 front (custom skidplatecovers the pipes) cat-back 2.25 pipe through a magnaflow, tucked high for improved clearance... photo compares 2002 chevy silverado 2500 HD w/ 4" and 33s given its running the HD rear diff (which gives it 8 inches at the pumpkin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOBOUTLAW Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Compared by most other peeps specs, I need larger tires to gain 2" clearance on my 'turned the torsion bars down a notch' lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 see, the main problem with all these comparisons with trucks and jeeps and stuff is; yeah, there's more ground clearance underneath because of the pumpkins. however no subaru will ever beat a truck's clearance at the center. AA's wagon comes close and i'm sure that it beats some, but it's not hard to find a truck that beats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never can tell. . . The pumpkins on my Toyota are at 10 1/2 inches, there's 17 under the transfercase mount. That's with 33s and only a 3 inch lift. But. I took the last hatch I had and put it next to a Rubicon at the dealership. With a 4/3 and 27s, the hatch had more clearance all the way around. There was only 9 inches under the transfer case on the Rubicon. yeah. . . My hatch had almost 16 to the exaust in the center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superu Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 This is true. Subs may have more straight up clearance, but in real terrain suspension travel will be important, as well as gearing. Truck are going to take the cake there unless you tack a ton of mods into the equation for a sube... see, the main problem with all these comparisons with trucks and jeeps and stuff is; yeah, there's more ground clearance underneath because of the pumpkins. however no subaru will ever beat a truck's clearance at the center.

KickAssFlash Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Independent suspension generally has more ground clearance...solid axles generally have more suspension travel. Also, the amount of ground clearance you have is a function of tire size...I have yet to see a subaru with independent suspension on anything more than 31's. It all depends on what you are doing/how much you want to invest into a project. Chux - we will again have to get out the measuring stick to compare clearance in the middle. I HIGHLY doubt our subarus have as much clearance in the middle as my YJ on 35's...because the diff clearance is identical...and I can fit a dang wheelbarrel underneath it. Also, full size trucks may have alot of clearance in the center...but they have retarded long wheelbases. It pretty much cancels it out. However, if you have a shortwheelbase vehicle, like a Wrangler or Samarai, it generally requires that the wheelbase to be lenthened a little for stability on things like hill climbs. All wheeling rigs have their strongpoints and weakpoints. But we all know...wheeling in a grocery getter > * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKrazy Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Just wanted to check with everyone with lifted soobs.

ezapar Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Funny how whenever a thread like this gets started, out comes the talks of jeeps and pics of Zap's Toy Easy there. . . You'll notice I posted about the clearance on my Soob. I didn't bring up the truck till comparisons started getting made. Just for reference, hardly a pick of my Toy. You'll notice that in the next sentence I talked about another Soob I owned. But I would like you to show me the other threads that make you say "whenever".

Wasn't trying to poke at you or anyone else. I can't make fun of any jeep or toy, there is chevy parked in driveway that's my real off-road rig. Just costs too much in gas to drive anymore.

ezapar Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 LOL Actually, that's my brother's girlfriend's. They lived in LA for awhile and rode them along the beach a lot. His (the black one) is really long like a limmo or something, the pink one has flower patterns for tread on the tires. lol My bike is purple.
