November 19, 200619 yr Yes this is probably sumthign that will get laughed at but for a joke I want to take the littel 4x4 justy I was given and do a little lift to it.... then for laughs take an old set of 4 wheeler tires an have fun. anybody ever lifted a jsuty befor an have any tips....
November 19, 200619 yr i haven't but there was a picture floating around of one. a couple of months ago, well last summer anyway, there was one on craigslist in the portland area that was for sale and they had some pictures posted up of it. i think the pics even showed up on here alittle while ago. well good luck, i know i have thought about getting one and putting atv tires on it for the sand.
November 19, 200619 yr Author yea Im thinking if I got some longer bolts maybe I could sticka couple hockey pucks between teh struts an the strut towers.... yes Im canadian (hockey pucks)
November 19, 200619 yr here is the first picture i saw of a lifted one. i'll see if i can find the other one. they just don't say how they lifted them though. maybe someone on here might chime up that know how it was done or how they lifted theirs. btw, i like this one the best, looks mean as all get out and it looks like it would be fun to drive.
November 19, 200619 yr here the pictures of the one that was for sale here in the portland area on craigslist earlier this year. this one and the one i posted earlier are the only 2 lifted justys i've seen.
November 19, 200619 yr Author pictures went dead... there used to be a lifted one in my town but I hardly seen it an couldnt find were he lived... mines a 95 thats an older one
November 20, 200619 yr i would imagine that its the same type of lift used on every other subaru.... just a simple body lift.... cant be that hard.....
November 22, 200619 yr sorry. pictures are back up. i deleted them out of my photos and it also took them out of the post. duh. what a dummy.
November 22, 200619 yr Author haha thats pretty awsome. I finally sorted the electrical issue on the Justy tonight.Is there someweres on here were I can get a General Idea how to go about a body lift??
November 28, 200619 yr that lifted white justy is bad rump roast....... hey GD, how much work do u think getting an ea81 in one of those would be..cuz somehow some one got and sti block in a justy:banana:
December 2, 200619 yr Are you ralking about that Canadian one? If so...holy crizzap, Batman. That's amazing. I think it's got an EJ20H in it... yeah dude...i was watchin the vids on google or somethin and they were doin snow drifts and it was freakin crazy!!!!!! but i think ur rite i think it was the ej20 cuz it said that little justy topped out at 285hp:eek: :eek:
December 4, 200619 yr Author yea seen that and theres some ones on ww.streetfire.net to... way to big of a job for my needs lol. id just like to know what I have to do to lift this... blocks between struts ??
December 5, 200619 yr The rear of the justy would not be hard to lift, but the front has the steering arms coming through holes in the unibody, you wouldnt be able to lift it more than a few inches. The engine mounts would have to be worked on too to drop the motor with the front subframe. More of a challenge than lifting an ea81 or 82. Then theres gearing issues, no low range and pitiful hp. My suggestion? cut out the wheelwells, and put some 23-25" ATV tires on 12" rims. Cut off the rear behind the doors to make it like a little truck

I jacked it up tonight and got about 2 inchs out of it... I may notch the "unibody" whihc is more of a mud guard for hte engine and that will allow the steering arms a bit more room. it doesnt sit to bad right now and it has 73 horse which is damn near as much as ur ea81 from my knowledge an my XT with the Ea82 MPFI only has 97 so whoopty do. car also onyl weights 1700 lbs were as the Brats probably weight more then that. like I said I may try to squeeze another couple pucks in this weekend and see how it goes
