Turbone Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 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.

Turbone Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited September 24, 2008 by Turbone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89subiext Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Then get bigger tires and wheels. That wont change the angle of the axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 2WD XT struts are the shortest struts Subaru made for the EA82 series. I wouldnt recommend them if lift is what your after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joostvdw Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 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! .

fshnidiot Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Get some 15" Pug alloys and the right size tire and you will have a pretty tall XT. +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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
