well i am waiting to put my lift kit in with my brother-in-law. we have a fair idea of how it all happens. but i was wondering if any oe could tell me the easiest ways of getting it in. it is a 2inch lift kit for 1988 subi sports wagon cheers

My recommendation is to do the back first, it's easy and getting it out of the way goes a long way to making it look half done. When I did the 2" kit in my brother's car we knocked this over almost straight away, only hitch was me getting my head around the L series rear suspension (I'm an MY guy) and what blocks go where.

The front was a bit more complex, but basically we did a side at a time and let it down on the jack. This kept most of the bolts in line and made fitting the blocks easier.

You're in Leeming aren't you? I'd be keen to come around and give a hand when you're doing it, maybe some other WA guys would be keen too.

with the front... i usually remove each bolt one at a time, with a jack under the car, and replace each bolt with the extended ones... then lower the car onto them and remove the bolts and add the blocks one after the other... keeps everything straight... and spray EVERY bolt with WD40 or something... u will thank me.

no u won't be thanked. wd40 is very temporary (its a water repellant!)
please do use nickel-antiseize, you will thank ME!!
it means in a few years time, when your replacing the bolts, they won't break on you

Once upon a time a bloke started a thread on a bulletin board about fitting a lift kit. Answers came, along with an offer of help and then his reply left everyone wondering what he'd been smoking....

I don't mean to sound rude, but wtf?

Just edited it for clarity and I'm still confused! Please explain?

Tims right... don;t listen to me. Just put something on the bolts when re-fitting.

not really off topic if you read the topic heading...

Post subject: little help

Posted: **Mon Mar 27, 2006 10:38 pm**

If that is the case then the topic should really have read Beyond help :P .
