Grant 91 wagon 3" lift
Dave 91 Wagon 3" lift (Previous wagon was 3" lift)
Daniel 93 wagon 3" lift
Me 95 wagon 3" lift (previous sedan was 3" lift)

I have also sent 3" lifts to a heap of people world wide that have Liberty wagons or sedans. If all you do is the 3" lift then it is pretty much just going to look like an Outback. If you do the Outback strut and spring lift thing, then it is looks like a lifted Outback which is very common.

If you go for a turbo motor you will have a few issues with the IC. They are not major problems but there is a few things that have to be modified.

while looking at my old air ride system today , I see the top mounts sit heigher than the stock units with springs .

The air ride units are 30mm heigher !

so 75mm lift + stock top mounts

has this been done ?

i had the same thing when i first lifted mine. ended up being way too high at the back (i only had a 3" lift in the front with standard struts) so i changed to 2" tops in the back

if you want it high though thats one way to do it!

Yep. We have put them in a few cars now instead of using lifted springs. You need to know that you will change your CV angles by doing so though. It might not sound like much, but if you use them, Outback struts and lifted springs you are lifting by about 85mm without even taking in to account the lift kit.

ok cheers for that

what is the go for the front spacers for off set ? how do I do this correctly

the rear spacer does this need off set ?

thanks seagull

when lifting the body 75mm then the spring tops your not getting any lift from the diffs .so Iam going to go 75mm on the body & 115mm on the spring tops

the guys came over today that have place 40mm spacers on the spring plates , the camber was ok ( at end of adjustment ) body need to be lifted .

good work!

teh bash plate covering the auto sump is definately a good idea. A small dent in the sump can lead to all sorts of problems

got any photos??
