only pics i have seen have been of the sas'd xt from years back............cheers, brian

Well show them if you got them.

Mine wasn't really lifted, but kinda. . .

 

 

 

 

How much of a lift is that?

xt6 with air shocks run to 125psi I think....

 

Wow lol i dont want mine to look like that

Overkill?

I wouldnt even concider that a subaru its on a 4x4 frame

um, i don't think it is.just solid axles with a built subframe iirc.......cheers, brian

oh lol

If you dont want the expense of buying a lift kit, get a pair of adjustable rear shocks or 2wd rear shocks. The fronts you may have to do a search on cause I cant remember what will lift it.

Get some 15" Pug alloys and the right size tire and you will have a pretty tall XT.

Yeah will 2wd xt struts lift it?

 

 

Here is what mine looks like now i have new fenders and doors for it but i have to paint them and put them on. I want it higher

For the rear, look for wagon struts. If your real lucky you might find a pair of adjustable ones.

 

Wow, that sucker has some serious cancer

I have adustables in the front and my buddy has some rear ones but i dont want to put too much stress on the axels.

Yep cancer! thats whats the rust free fenders and doors are for!

Then get bigger tires and wheels. That wont change the angle of the axles.

true. plus you cant expect much i only payed $300 for it!

2WD XT struts are the shortest struts Subaru made for the EA82 series.

 

I wouldnt recommend them if lift is what your after.

Sort of true, the front 2WD XT struts are the shortest subaru made but the rear 2WD struts are the longest subaru makes

 

On the 2WD the struts mount where on the 4WD the axle is, but has the same ride height. mount a 2wd rear strut on a 4wd subie and lift-off! .

So those struts will lift my car how much?

+1 I had my 86 XT on 14 inch pugs for awhile and with the air suspension on high it looked SWEET!!!!! Plus the larger tires fill in the wheel wells nicely!! Try that 1st and go from there if you need more. You'll be happy you did. Frank
