I had seen some T4WD online with Push Bars, liked the way they looked, went out and found one, had it custom mounted, can be removed anytime and add KC HID lights. This is how it sits at the present time, looking to add 2 inch lift/clearance, any ideas?

Well holy crap. That's a hell of a lot of effort you put into it. I really like the new wheels. What are they from?

welcome to the forum, looks like a great project. Nice job.

suspention: front you can get '88-92' corolla all-trac front struts and springs (larger dia, more travel, stiffer spring, you have to change out the top mount). Also,k the same year GTS celica and corrola struts are the same, the stadard struts are similar dia so no advantage. Be careful not to go too much lift, it puts more angle on the front CV joints and causes them to wear out fast.

Rear: most go with pathfinder rear springs and t-bird shocks (more travel). I would consider cutting a coil off since it will lift the rear about 3" full length.

there are lots of threads on this topic, do a search.

How about some shots of how that push bar mounts. I like the look of that. Great job on your car.
