Ghetto fab / Hack fab

Every few years, I wander off down a rabbit trail about lifting my wife's Legacy. Then I step back, look at the lifted Subys online, and realize that a stock XJ is better in every way.

Or it could look even more retarded like this... Log into Facebook

iirc you can swap over outback suspension to get you 2" or whatever with all factory parts

but really: lift is gay
cut the fenders and fuck with the struts to fit bigger tires without lifting it

Yeah, it's got OB struts. Beyond that gets to be a hassle.

Tires without gears suck. I did that for a while, then quit messing with it and went back to stock size. 34mpg highway is what it's for.

I also don't try to hypermile my 715. Mileage is not what it's for.

Anything beyond the easy 1-2" spacers and bolt on strut swap is a complete waste of time.

These cars really don't like bigger tires. CVs and trans can only tolerate so much without comically short service lives, especially the manual transmissions.

Looks like a cool 30 year old build. Actually its cool by todays standards. Nothing wrong with square tube and leaf springs if its what you have to work with.
