2Â” + 2Â” = 4Â” Lift.

BlackMale · Post by **BlackMale** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 11:56 pm

I am sure that I read on here quite some time ago that it was possible to achieve a 4” lift (for an L series) by just purchasing two 2” lift kits and stuffing them in there (a search for this did not turn up the information I was looking for).

In theory I could see how this would work (with the exception of the steering extension) however in practice would this actually work or will it throw the all the geometry of stuff out to much?

Comments welcome
Thanks.

steering extension like u say will be wrong.

Bolts wont be the right length to go thru both lift block into captive nuts im presuming. some more nuts may be needed to and etc.

i can see how the F & R strut extenders shuld bolt together. and make the 4 inch blocks, and in theory id guess they shuld keep geometry pretty good still.

and the price of 2, 2" kits wuld be more than a 4 wuldnt it.

the biggest flaw in this thinking is that the blocks will be way weaker. a one piece block will piss over a 2 piece one for strength and flex- dotn wanna be pullling out them captive nuts now do we.

This certainly would not work.
Just buy a 4" liftkit.

my 4" kit looks nuthing like a 2". id say its safer and wiser to go a propper 4" kit

I reckon most of it would work.... but FLEX will be a bitch

dont do it. I only know of 2 liberty's that have ever ripped captive nuts out of the chassis and one of those had a 2+1=3" lift

Depends how the lift kits are designed, it may be possible but as others have pointed out, it would be far inferior to an actual 4" kit and just downright shoddy.

Done, thats some of the info i was after.

Thanks for the input.

I have seen alot of bad lift kits and stacking spacers results in a very short life for the vehicle

The AUSubaru.com.au Forums

2Â” + 2Â” = 4Â” Lift.

2” + 2” = 4” Lift.
