AKghandi Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I just got an 86fwd xt with bad rear struts and I was wondering would 4x4 wagon struts lift or lower it? I'll find out when I got swap them I'd just like to know before hand thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 It'll lift it about 2" or so. If you look where they bolt to on the 2wd trailing arms vs the 4wd, you'll notice on the 2wd they bolt in where the axles go on the 4wd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKghandi Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Would it do the same in the front? And thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87.5ea82txt Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 4wd rear xt struts on a 2wd xt should lower it about 2", likewise rear 2wd xt struts on on a 4wd xt will lift it about 2". Not sure what you can do about the fronts other than shorter springs as the xt front struts are the shortest ea82 struts unless you go with a 5 lug swap and impreza lowering springs and struts. There should be write up on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKghandi Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Well with 4x4 wagon struts in the back it should make it sit about level right? Thatd be a good look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
