My 07 outback is getting replacing and instead of selling it off cheap someone suggested to use it for 4wd trips where you know you're going to scratch the paint, put a dint in a panel, scrape the belly etc..
Anyone had a go at lifting one? That's the main issue I can see is clearance, if I managed to find a way to bring it up 2-4 inches it could go a lot of places, got decent a/t tyres already, traction control in Subaru's is bloody good (no need for diff lock)....
There are lift kits around from Aus and the USA. They don't increase articulation, just height. A few clips on youtube.
Yeah been looking at YouTube since it got suggested to me, quite surprising how well they do!Quote:

Yeah but I don't want to damage it, I inherited it from my old lady, if I put a scratch on it I will have to go to my bedroom and ground myself.Quote:

Depends on the type of damage... underbody sure, but a big fat 80 series will get more paint scratches squeezing between gorse bushes etc.Quote:
