subaru STEVEN Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I am looking for a after market adjustable rear suspension for a 2006 BAJA lifted 4", the truck dog tracks about a inch and is very loose to drive in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarubrat Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) BC racing makes an awesome set! If you call them they will offer you the off the shelf ones that are stock or lower, if you pester them enough you can get ones that are +1in taller than stock so you can go stock or stock plus or minus 1 inch. And if you negotiate hard enough you can get longer travel and alternate valving but they just don't offer the stuff up front. The BC ones are super adjustable and have taken an amazing beating in my use. You would not want to consider doing the rear only due to the spring rates, you want both front and rear and the good news is that it allows for much wider tires as well. Oh, and they also offer a premium progressive spring and it is worth the extra cost. And awesome to hear your baja is lifted as well, and pics? Which kit?

idosubaru Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Why does it need adjustable? i mean is that a diagnosis, I'm not questioning if you just want them, if that's the case I totally get guys , trying to understand what's happening and why mechanically. Maybe it needs new springs or struts or both of any sort? My OBW would jump sideways when hitting bumps and oscillate ocassinally in the rear. New KYB springs solved that. Current springs are over a decade old with lifted mileage and usage. Baja turbo rear springs are commonly used on OBWs for a little stiffer and slight lift. Isnt it possible to lift it 4" without issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 If it's dog tracking a proper alignment should take care of that. What kind of lift is on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarubrat Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Isnt it possible to lift it 4" without issues? Yes, I drive mine all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Isnt it possible to lift it 4" without issues? Yes, I drive mine all the time. Exactly why I asked the question, which points back to my original question - why does this situation need adjustable gear (when no one else does)?

Numbchux Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Agreed. What kind of adjustment are you looking for? Ride height? Damping? Camber? Toe? How was it lifted? If the lift was done correctly, it should not dog track, and the toe should all still be adjustable with OE parts (although the toe adjustment is frequently rusted solid in this part of the world, and requires cutting out and replacing some hardware).

subaru STEVEN Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 THANK YOU! for everyone that replied to my problem, In short I sold the BAJA and disclosed the problem with the car in the snow and it sold anyway. I am convinced that the lift kit was installed wrong from day one when I bought it a year ago as is from a dealership down south that had little if any snow, the car went great in the rain and dry roads, but I have had so many issues with it from day one trying to correct the numerous problems that the car had that my wife said enough is enough and sell it. So it is with great sadness that I don't have a SUBARU for a daily driver scene 1980. I have owned over 36 SUBARUS over the years and this BAJA has kicked my rump roast enough that it had to go. But I still have the ARE topper and the rack on the top of the cab for sale that I will post on stuff for sale on this sight soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
