i wanna lift my gl10 wagon. whats the cheapest but still reliable way to lift it??

A lot of it depends on your skill level, and if you have a welder plasma cutter , metal saw, it would be cheaper to bild your own kit, but easyer to go with a sjr lift, sjr does all the engineering for you , i had to calculate all the angles, it was kinda confusing and i had a lot of re dos too

im probably not good enough to build my own...but where can i get an sjr lift? and how much do they cost?

How much height is gained with accord and escort springs?

The Honda front springs lift the rear about 1.5". But as my mate found out the spring bottoms out before the bumps stop or shocker and can (did) push the bottom spring mount off its place on the shocker. And don't try and weld them back on.....

 

First question I would ask is Why do you want a lift?

Clearance, looks, to fit bigger tires, etc?

i never did a measurement 2" is my guess & with big 14" tires about 3-3 1/2" Maybe.

 

big 14" alone raised my loyale 1 1/2 ". (205/70R14)

Stock wheels & Springs

205/70 R14 on stock springs

 

i will do measurement after Springs have been changed.

Here is my black loyale

 

with 215/70 R14 s and the Accord Spring on the back. Front is stock in this picture.

 

 

Quite a Lift

Any idea what years will work for the spring donations? I don't want to be seen around Hondas and Escorts too much! Please post some pics of the Escort springs up front. Thanks.

i never had escourt springs on it. i was told to use them. sorry i didnt say that erlier.

 

i only have 86 honda accor spring in the back. i never bothered to have escourt spring put on cuz i liked it being lower in the front.

 

this weekend i'll get measurements from ground to rearend.

 

John aka Subex

forgot to get measurements but i did get picture

on concrete floor for good show.

 

SJR lifts is the way to go I got a 4inch and I can't wait to get it on my 87 gl wagon 2.2 motor

yeah but add sjr lift with the springs.

 

i need to put a EJ22 in my loyale. but first things first. make it road worthy

ok. measurements from ground to rearend.

 

i thought they were stock tires:

8" cleareance from 195/75 R14 tires

which raised it alone 1" so stock would be 7"

 

Accord Springs 215/70 R14 Tires:

11 1/4"

 

thats a 4 1/4" lift just springs & tires

 

now add the sjr lift.

 

8 1/4" total.....
