Hey everyone,
I've poured through the threads on this topic and there is a lot of information out there about lifting and what not, so I apologize if my post comes off as lazy or something. However, seeing as how I am about to invest a large chunk of dough on my lift I thought I would toss out a couple concerns I am having before I do all my purchasing. Any insight would be helpful.
Ride: 2002 Subaru Outback Wagon 2.5L 4 cylinder.
Lift kit: (all of these products are from primitive racing)
1. Raised king springs 1.25 inches front and rear (31mm)
2. KYB EXCEL-G/GR-2 Struts front and rear
3. Also looking at get new Subaru Heavy Duty Front Strut tops, New dust boot covers, New Bumps Stops, New Spring Perches, New Conical Washers, And New Rubber Spring Seat for front and rear.
So, my main question is this: Does anyone know if this is going to require new camber / sway bars and all that jazz? I figured I will need an alignment no matter what so I got that covered. But what I really want to do is toss in a subtle spacer kit of 1 inches (25mm) all around the car to bring the lift to roughly 2.25 inches (57mm)
The goal is to get some 29 inch tires/tyres in there (not sure if I am day dreaming that a bit or not).
Anyways, if I need to adjust camber / sway bars / brake lines and all that I am fine with it, but I just want to purchase everything at once so I can knock it out over one weekend and then hit the road the next. The idea behind these mods is for touring and light off roading carrying a heavy load most the time
My priority is to do the most quality lift possible that is going to get me to the camp site and the fishing spots.
Thanks in advance,
~Dan
