Lifting my 97 BK wagon


Recommended Posts

I just bought 17x7.5in wheels with tires that push the diameter to 26.5in.

Originally I was thinking KYB GR-2s with forester springs. Now I have read so many posts about outback suspension and spacers and trailing arms and king springs and fender rolling that I have no idea what I'm doing anymore and I need some direction.

 

Has anyone done this, what did they do, what do I buy, do I need spacers or trailing arms?? :confused:

 

Thanks.

I need to be able to have this all figured out

Throw on some stock Outback struts and springs and you're good.

 

The other thing you can do after that is strut spacers. There are manufacturers that make anywhere from 1" to 5" spacers for the BD/BG/BK.
