I have fitted to the rear of my wagon 2wd struts with wagon king springs and 75mm top spacer .

The wheel cambers out at the top & I can not see how you could off set the top of the strut as the spring hits the body .

My other issue is the wheel will hit the body at the front when the tyre expands at speed .

so what the go with this guys ? before I fit rose joints to the lower arms and stay arm for adjustment .

cheers seagull

after a few beers I am going to make some custom arms , with rose joints for adjustment and alowing for more wheel travel .

This will cost a bit more than I allowed but over all will be a good set up alowing more adjustment .

The control arm from the body to the hub is rubber and on one of mine showing signs of failure any way .

After looking at my mates nissan set up this is the way to go .

both problems can be fixed with a hammer..

just about everyone who lifts their lib has to hammer in the wheel wells where the springs hit. i had to knock mine in about 1"

the lip at the front of the wheel arch - hammer it in. eveyone does. I only had to bend mine slightly forward (27.5" tyres) but if your running 28's jsut hammer it in out of the way. This problem is also helped by running early outback trailing arm mounts which move your wheel back about 8mm. A set of mounts should cost you no more than $50...
