Strut swap

Post by Mark »

Are there any subie front shocks that I can put on the front of 06 Baja ,to raise it closer to rear height? If I bought any aftermarket strut that was 2" longer, wouldnt that lift the ride height by that much?

You can go coil overs and adjust front and rear ride height as desired, but you can only increase the strut Vs rest of the truck difference by about 1inch with stock axles before you start seeing problems. Your probably better off getting a set of 1in spacers for your front struts and leaving it at that. If you want to go the coil over route BC racing can make you a custom set that is 30mm taller so you can dial in the ride height you want within axle limits. Unfortunately if you call BC racing they will claim they don't make them, you have to order them through a guy that is friends with the owner, I have his contact info somewhere and can dig it out if you need it.
