threw the 15" steelies and Blizzak Revo1s from the wagon on it and took it ice racing a few weeks ago. more pics in the rally/racing section.

which was the last coffin nail in the rear air suspension. it was drastically sagged for the trip home, and only made it about 2 more days before it was bottomed out completely.

spent a day trying to jumper the solenoids and such to put air in them, without luck:

that black connector under the fuel lines is the check connector where the signal wires for the individual solenoids are.

jumpered to open one of the rears:

the connector under the fuse box, jumpered to open the air charge solenoid:

I was entirely unsuccessful.....so I got a few boxes over the last week or so:

4WD EA82 GR2s (which come with new upper bushings), 2.5" x 12" 250 lb/in Eibach springs from Ground-Control. should make for a nice firm ride, and match up well with some outback struts when I go EJ in the front.

 

also got a couple boxes from Rock Auto. including 6 NGK v-power plugs, Bosch plug wires, and a Beck/Arnley 02 sensor.

Thank you for Posting those Nice Pics! ... the Animated one is Awesome!!! :)

 

I Believe Normal Struts are Better than Pneumatic ones, should give you a Better Ride, but You`ll Swap the Front ones too, isn`t it? ... if the Pneumatic system is Failing, it could be Dangerous.

 

Why you want to go EJ with this? ... it Looks very Nice & Clean.

 

Kind Regards.

they'd be fine. my summer tires on my wagon are 215s on a 17x8. they don't looked stretched almost at all.

 

actually, the reason I'm stepping down to the 50 series, is my buddy has a set with good tread left for $50 :grin:

 

the snow tires on the steelies are 205/65r15s, being the tallest of any of the tires I own now (25.5"). and they fit just fine, with only a hair of rubbing once the rear shocks had gone entirely flat. I may look for some 205/70r15 snows for the XT6 next fall.

 

 

as long as the wheel offset is high enough (pugs are not), there is a surprising amount of room in those wheel wells.

Well heres where it gets tricky Chux. Im looking to put on some 6 lug stock chevy wheels. So i dotn know how far off the offset is compared to a pug. I can get ahold of a set of 6 lug 1998 chevy aluminum wheels. The offset doesnt look to far off from a pug it was just the depth i was worried about.
