Suspension Lift

Since I want to lift my Liberty wagon to give a bit more ground clearance & stop scraping the front up the driveway at my girlfriend's house. Anyway I sourced Gen 2 outback struts, I want to find best coils to go with them and want maximum lift with-out using lift kit.
Would I be better off getting FWD Liberty rear coils or standard AWD Liberty, or get Outback or Forester coils?
Which ones above would give me best maximum lift?
Cheers

Hi AP
I've just done what u are talking about to my gen1 wgn
I've got a scorpion 2in lift kit
gen2 outback front shocks with king h/d std height o/back springs
gen2 outback rear shocks with lovell raised h/d o/back springs.
i've got 16in forester wheels with 215/70/16 tyres
Fronts are a straight swap
Rears need a bit of massaging the inner guard,just a little near the lower spring plate
Also the section in front of the rear wheels needs to be trimed to fit wheels
I've only got a 5mm gap there,gen2 o/back trailing arm brackets are supposed to give an extra 10mm or so of clearance but i can't confirm as i 've never seen them and they seem hard to find.
Might lengthen the trailing arms instead(cut/weld)
Rear strut shafts are bigger than gen1.
