your going to get so much more flex out of the suzuki solid axle driveline especially if its coil this would be the biggest improvement rather then just ground clearance.
i don't know whether it could be done or not but good luck if you choose to have a crack

I love our 04 xs forester auto. sooo smooth, but get the turbo as the NA with auto is pretty gutless. I would go the the outback gen4 and get the H6 or the 05 SG forester turbo. i'm not a fan of european diesels so i wouldn't touch the skoda as what you will save in fuel you will spend on repair bil...

thats right most things even out with our high wages- but high living cost.
too right taza luckily i don't have to travel far to work, otherwise it could cost more to go to work!

i hope for you boostings that the outback sells soon!

what wheels are you now using?

i've recently moved to the dark side also. i've still go my brumby and my 04 forester but my 99 forester was written off. so i now have a 08 suzuki jimny - love it by the way

this is one seriously cool product that i never knew subaru made

yep really the 4sp dont have a good reputation but once the slop is fixed i like the 4sp

it amazing how good the 4sp shifts once the oil is changed

$2,500 is a very fair price if the brumby is as clean as the photo

you will get away with just replacing both rear, as usually if one is stuffed the other isnt too far off!

as for brands KYB is the most popular with people on the forum.
ive used monroe shocks which are good also

ive tried ultima and know a few people who have, they handel well and have lasted just as long as other brands ive used.
they are a direct copy of the monroe shocks so for the price they are good

wow thats high now! need some tyres to fill out the guards

looking great for a 30yr old vehicle!

i have to agree with boostings. for long term use off road the strength, reliability and performance will out perform the brumby

the worse is trying to order a pot of beer in different states
