In this video we will be going over other suspension and drivetrain parts you made need to install in addition to your lift kit for your Subaru! While a lift kit is important, without some of these other parts, your lift might be less of a blessing and more of a curse. Don't worry though, I will help you figure out everything you might need, depending on your specific lift height!

I have had a stock '02 forester S for about 4 years now. Didn't want to mod until I have the money and knowledge. Thanks to a raise at work, I can afford basic upgrades. Thanks to you, I have knowledge. Things that nobody else talked about when I have done research. Thank you for enabling my budget forester overlander :)

You are most welcome! I’m glad the video was helpful to you, and good luck with your build!

Great video! Lot of good points covered here that are easy to miss if you're new to lifting a Subaru.

Awesome video! I like that you not only included all the parts you shouldn't forget, but you showed them too and even showed where you can buy them. Makes it very easy for someone that is doing this for the first time or has less experience with lifting Subarus! Can't wait to see the full rear control arm video!

Nice video. If you're in Australia the SLO kit corrects for camber on all kits although rear (rated) camber bolts are still required. I have a 3" rear lift and still have the sway bar connected on factory links although it is a real pain to connect and disconnect them. I have given it some real abuse but the end links held up - well I did bend them but that's beside the point haha!

@TheCreateOutdoors 10 ай бұрын

I'm in the USA but there are solutions out there! I did have my endlinks connected with my 2.5 inch as well but with my upgraded control arms I'll need a new solution.

On the sway bar links, go to your local supply store and pick up some pipe. Slide ends over and weld. The ADF should have built in camber.

I've never known any lift to have camber in them (for lift spacers anyway) but I have to agree.

I’m not going for a big lift, just putting forester springs and struts on an 05 impreza that i use as a work truck. I need as much weight capacity as possible and just a couple extra inches for bigger tires. Any recommendations on what type of somewhat affordable springs to buy?

@TheCreateOutdoors 4 ай бұрын

I haven't really looked much into springs but King Springs are probably one of the first that come to mind, but I'm not sure what the spring rate will be for those. Stock Subaru Forester springs are comfortable enough. Keep in mind that Forester suspension will give you a 2" lift, if that is something you are okay with. I would certainly take a look around and do some research on what would be best.

Great video, I have a 2014 Forester XT I would like to do a small raise of 1½-2 inch lift on to do some light off-roading in Sweden. There are lots of quality products available in the US as I understand it (and in Australia, but that's even fartjer away, and qhile m visiting there from time to time it's a bit hefty to put a kit in my luggage😊). Can anyone recommend a European store for quality kits? The kits are pretty heavy so shipping is a big part of the cost if I buy it from a US seller. Any input is appreciated 🙏

Thanks for the great video. I have 225/55/17 tires on my crosstrek but I have a spare tire as size of 215/60/17. Does it couse any problem if I use it for a short time period?

@TheCreateOutdoors 22 күн бұрын

I would certainly get the right tire as soon as possible. The Subaru AWD system doesn't like various tire sizes. I was lucky to get by a whole year without needing my spare.

You can temporarily put a Subaru in FWD mode with a fuse located in the engine bay fuse box. It's meant for exactly these types of situations.

So. Call me stupid. NOT. I Lift and work on offroad trucks straight axle and IFS. BUT. I lifted 06 forester 2in spacer and bought the rear adjustable control arm kit like a $500 lit. Sota good lil high in back but my driver rear axle keeps pop out of diff. I mean as soon as i leave the driveway. Any ideas? Thanks

@TheCreateOutdoors 3 ай бұрын

I don't know for sure without looking at it but it sounds like the snap ring for the axle might be not seating in the diff correctly or might be missing, so your axle isn't being held in. Either that or something is out of alignment and the axle can't sit in the diff properly.

@jodyprice420 3 ай бұрын

@TheCreateOutdoors I done bunch research on line last night and these models something about a LSD diff that the clip stays in the diff so maybe it's still in it and I thought it pop in lol. Will see this evening.

Do you didn’t need to buy extended axles? I’ve hear that if u want to go higher than 1.5 inches u will start to blow cv’s

@TheCreateOutdoors 8 ай бұрын

I have never heard that. These older Subies are good for 2-3” of lift until you need subframe spacers.

@ajzstudios 6 ай бұрын

I would advise against extended axles. I switched to those and immediately blew them after trying trails. OEM axles is the way to go. Upgraded end links, control arms and suspension lift kits are what will support that increased ground clearance and reduce stress on the CV axles/boots and end links.

@bennylloyd-willner9667 5 ай бұрын

Aren't there kits that include parts for lowering the subframe to prevent that? They do compromise clearance a bit, but may be worth it? Disclaimer: I just had my Forester XT 2014 for less than a year and l am not a proper off-roader, just want more capability in the Swedish forest where I live.

@@bennylloyd-willner9667 They do, but only if you are lifting it to a certain height. For my 05, Subframe spacers aren't required until 3+ inches of lift. You could certainly use subframe spacers for lower lifts but it isn't really necessary.
