Curious what kit you end up with?

They'll also hurt acceleration, braking, and fuel economy more as you go larger. If it were me, I'd do the lift but not go much bigger on tires. I've considered doing a Forester/Outback lift kit on an Impreza to fit Forester/Outback tires.
My uncle is looking at a '99 a next project. It will gonna be a weekend toy. We'll take a look at it right after we finished installing the skid plate and a few jeep aftermarket parts on the Wrangler project. Seen some good reviews about Scorpion kits, we'll take a closer look at their stuff.
