does anyone have some info on this?

 

y?

 

The easiest thing to do is leave the stock springs on and up size the tires a bit. I did this for the winter to gain a bit more ground clearance. How much? No clue. I haven't measured. The tires are 195/70.

Otherwise I've had thoughts of making spacers for the top strut mounts and finding taller springs for the rear. These are just thoughts, not sure how well it would work. To much work for a temporary raise for winter, so I just left that idea alone.

 

Jack that thing up, it's yours! I always wanted to see a Hi-Riser xB...

 

not too much room for making spacers for the top of the stuts.

ive seen 2 Hi-rise xBs

 

There is another xb thats lifted that isn't on a custom frame. It looks like they used coilovers in the pic. Which is floating around here some where.

As for spacers. I wouldn't use the same bolts on the strut. I'd have them come through the spacer, recessed, and bolted. Then have offset bolts on the spacer that come through the mount on the fender well. But like I said it was just an idea to a possible cheaper solution to custom coilovers.

 

Found a pic of it. I guess you can't see the front suspension to well. Must have been another pic I saw.



With all is talk of lifting an xb. Its got me thinking of trying out my idea. If my work would only invest in the mill there thinking about I could fab one up, but it wont happen.

 

that roof scoop gives it the extra hp to make it move with those wheels.

 

ok that would work a little better.
i have see pic of the other one you are talking about somewere, i just have to find it.

 

ok here it is, i found it

im not so sure this one is a real pic or not, but it looks cool

 

thats choppped.

 

No kidding! The change in my tire size has just killed my mpg. Then add 3-4" of snow on the road and it gets worse. I can't wait for it to be over.

I'm pretty sure that last pic is chopped.

 

the pioneer one does not run

 

^^^^^^




why invest that much in a car that doesnt run, man i wish i had that money.

 

there was a cool looking xB i think it was from alaska, he had big studded tires with PIAA lights in the front with a brushguard type thing, it looked pretty badass

 

dunno they just set it up for sound competition/display

 

oh ayh, i never notice the windshield untill you said that

 

A coil-over kit with longer springs. Eibach sells a 2.5 in spring for their kits and you can buy different spring lenghts and different spring rates to tune the suspension. Also the shock should be a longer length due to your lifting, not lowering.

 

this one has air cylenders for suspcenion

 

I attempted to contact the fabricator of this xb to find out how I could do this to mine or have him do it. But never recieved a response.
