August 12, 200619 yr after few days of straggling with my car I maneged to finish the work. I had few problems on the way but it's all over now. I managed to damage few bolt and nuts so I bought new ones and used a tap to fix the nuts. I hope it will be strong enough. pics to follow.
August 12, 200619 yr Good job!Did you do the job by yourself?I know that would be kinda tough especially on the front of the car if it is only you doing the work.
August 12, 200619 yr Author yep, all by myself and it was tough but worth it. http://subaruesh.spaces.live.com/photos/ havn't got the tyres yet some more pics to follow
August 12, 200619 yr looked like fun.. awesome that you handled it yourself..i know myself wouldn't be able to :-p can't wait to see it sitting on all four..
August 12, 200619 yr it is definitely a process.but well worth it.i had about three broken bolts and hqad to drill 'em out and fix 'em with a tap.they have held for a;lmost two years and are going strong.been taken out multiple times as well.cheers,brian
August 13, 200619 yr We (A mate, my bro and I) put a lift on a 88 wagon in just under 11 hours. But we only had the alloy blocks cut, front sturt extensions made, steering extension, and diff hanger modded. So we had to drill, weld, and figure out all those other bits that are to do with a lift. I can see it would take a lot longer for 1 person, as there were at least 3 times we needed all 3 of us pulling and pushing on suspension components. Well done, looking good
August 13, 200619 yr Author I'm going to get some secondhand road tyres tomorrow just until I get some extra cash to buy some proper offroad tyres. anyway, most of my offroading is on the beach so road tyres I think better. I'm going to go with 205/75r14. by the way, I found the harder part of the lift is to refit the shortened lower radiator tube.
