Installing 2013 Outback springs/struts on 2013 Legacy 2.5i. Any tips?

Hello I purchased a complete set of strut's and springs off a 2013 Outback in an attempt to turn my Legacy into the now defunct Outback Sedan or whatever they call their lifted Legacy's over sea's.

 

I'm new to wrenching on Subaru's and would like to know if this is just gonna be a bolt in deal plus alignment or am I going to need other parts like control arms and sway bar's.

 

Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. I have access to a 2 post lift but I cant occupy it all day so no surprises.

 

Thanks

 

I would eventually like to get a set of gold 04 BBS with taller snow tires for the winter and get better sway bars to reduce the added body roll due to the increased ride height.

You will need outback brake lines. Everything else should work for you. I believe if you leave your 2.5i lines there they will get stretched out which could be potentially dangerous.
