Forester_Ranger

I just had my 98 forester lifted 2" by mudrat79 a few weeks ago. The advantage to his lift is that it allows room for taller tires. Where if you go with the scorpian lifts you don't get any more clearence for tires. So far the lift has worked out great. I'm looking into putting on 29" tires as well. That should give it another inch. I am however concerned about losing climbing power when I do it. With the high range tranny I have now. It already climbs poorly. I really need a low-range. Mudrat79 is trying to talk me into lifting it another 6 inches and putting a lowrange in from a Nissan. But I really don't want to lose the onroad handling. I would rather put in an aussie dualrange. But I'm not sure only getting a 20% gear reduction is worth the cost and trouble. I don't have any pictures to post yet. After we finish new bumpers. I plan on posting some pictures. Mudrat79 does have some pictures of my lift. Check out his website http://www.oregonoffroadsubaruclub.org. His email address is there and he can show you pictures and tell you all about the lift.

dont have anything to pull the codes. I will be taking it into the dealer monday so they can pull the codes

I don't think the ABS is fine. ABS light only stays off for a few miles and then comes on. The light stays on untill i shut the engine off. The shudder goes away when the ABS light is on or if I pull the ABS fuse out.

No I had someone who works on Subarus do the axle work. He just checked out the sensors today. Only thing he found was some metal shavings collected on the driver side. cleaned it up but didn't fix it. I will be taking it to the dealer next week and see if they can figure it out.
