UPdated the 2.5 Leg Outback

[jaKe]

So tonight I did a little work to the OUtback. Finally got new struts, kyb (cheap but lifetime warranty) and a set of New 05 Baja springs installed. Background on this is I found out swapping springs from a baja to my outback will raise clearance from about 7.3 inches to about 8.4 (or more). Swap is easy as replacing any strut and spring set, here are a couple before pics...

and here are some after

oh and a little

and a hell yeah

. Discuss...

Oh and have a good used set of stock springs off the car if anyone is interested (free to good home, you come get in bangor area unless I happen down southern maine way. Was nothing wrong with springs in it, just soft stock 2.5 Outbackers.

Edited and added pics from today of after. Will say rear springs are obnoxious

. When set car on ground it barely settled. Guess I can haul a ton of pellets without any squating from trailer now. Rides good now, corners flat (never did before, no rear sway bar, so stiff none needed. Group n trans mount best mod ever to this, just right amount of NVH, less clunky trans movement. Snow tires tomorrow hopefully, and going to align.
