one eye Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 So there has been another lifted wagon come out of my shop. Dan (86GLSub) needed a lift so.........................here you go I think this one ended up pretty big, 235/75/15s, a 2" lift, and an rump roast load of cutting and there she is!!!

subaru_noob Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Granted I've never lifted/put bigger tires on, but why do you cut out behind the rear wheels when the front of the wheel is practically touching the back of the door? Car looks good, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one eye Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 It just kinda follows the body line there, I had to cut the top part or else it will rub, so I just followed it out, I dont like the look of it to much either but it is only the second one I've done with that much cutting, you don't really practice that too much so its kinda trial and error. plus the tire moves back a bit while compressed.

SoobieDoo Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Looks real good, Jeff. I still can't believe you squeezed those 235's under there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoodsboy Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 235/75/15s Ok, Im gonna ask... what rims are those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 do you put any lift blocks between the rear suspension arm mounts, that may be why the rear tires move ahead on your rig. if you drop the swing mount down too, it leaves the wheelbase the same as stock i do so believe, plus then the tire does not move back when compressed, it just simply moves up and down like stock. .

one eye Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 so if that Is a two inch lift with 235's how much lift is on your beater wheeler? that brown wagon looks alot taller than your wheeler. 2" lift with 235s its a little taller but not much the struts are all the way up on the front and I don't know if the rears are on the 3rd stage or not. Its going to go down in the front to save the tires from waring out right off the bat...........and It's not the Beater Wagon. Its the wheeler Wagon, Ive put a ton of work into that rig to call it a beater. I wouldn't be afraid to drive it all the way to Lewiston ID:) Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I meant beater as in door beater, or rocker panel beater, or tree beater...Is there a straight panel on that car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one eye Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 The hatch..............but I had to replace it, so the new one is straight:grin: Oh and the roof I havn't got it on its roof yet:) Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
