carfreak85 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I now have a lifted vehicle worth driving! Took my sweet time getting her done and ran into my fair share of road blocks, but I think I can safely say shes on the ground and lifted!!! As with any project, I still have some stuff I want to do (Need to get those stupid fenders trimmed and my Swampers on there!), so stay tuned for updates! Enjoy the pics.

Phizinza Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Yeah, I like the mud flaps too. That's why I kept mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Thats hot!! Front and rear mud flaps I like!! What rear shocks are you running? -Brian Thanks, I really like having the flaps all around (Didn't really help on my wagon at the show, haha). The shocks I'm running are Rancho RS5000s for the rear of a 97 to 01 Jeep TJ with a 2.5 inch lift. Rancho P/N 5241, I think I got the pair new from Schucks for $118 out the door, IIRC. They need some modification to fit (grinding the top mount and shims down low) to fit, but its actually not too bad. The rubber boots are a pain in the rump roast to get on, but with some soapy water you can get them on. For as much driving as I've done with them on (None off road), I really like them. They smooth out the ride nicely and aren't overly stiff. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/medium/IMG_3359.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88HatchMonster Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 WOW! What a nice hatch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I need shocks that are stiffer. The Gabriels Im running are very soft, and when I gas it, i stuff my rear tire into the fender's. Already chewed the crap out of 2 of my brand new Kumho's. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subieman Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Are these the rear shocks you used? http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?mfrcode=RAN&mfrpartnumber=RS5241&parttype=50&ptset=APart numbers seem right, but picture seems wrong. Let us know how they work out off road. Thanks, Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how they work out off road. Thanks, Jeremy If I read correctly, in the upper right hand corner of that picture it says, "Representative Photo". With that part number, you will be getting a longer version of our stock rear shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 They actually ARE subaru seats. XT6 seats to be exact! They don't bolt right in, but if you have access to a welder, it ain't no thang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
