Hello there, I just got my first Subaru today and i decided to introduce it here:)

It's a 91 model of a DL type. Body driven 245000 km but the engine is "only" driven 179000 km.

The plans are to put something under the springs to have more height and maby some bigger wheels.

I'm guessing Iceland - being the big identifier of background terrain that I am.

Suspension lift (spring spacers/longer springs) will put more stress on the CV joints which aren't great to start with and also give more positive camber on the wheels which isn't good for your tyres. I've fitting 27x8.5R14 Kumho M/T's to the older body wagon with not a lot of cutting and messing around. Lift is over rated in my opinion. My next Subaru isn't going to have lift.

Looks clean (not dirt wise of cause), I'm interested to know if that side skirt is standard for your DL's? I thought that was a GL10 thing.

Actually I'm not sure.

But thanks for the tip about the suspension.
