2009-2013 Subaru Forester 2" Suspension Lift Kit

2'' lift kit

I have not installed this yet because I'm waiting for my rear struts to come in, but i have looked over the parts and I'm impressed with the quality of how they are made and the welds. the spacers are thick and have some weight so I know I don't have to worry about them bending or anything. can't wait to install the kit in the next few weeks.

Great kit, good price.

The kit was packaged securely and arrived in perfect condition. Very nice powder coating on the parts. Included all necessary hardware and the installation instructions were clear and simple to follow. My 235/75R15 Dextero’s on Black Rhino rims with e15 offset just rub the front of the rear fender liner but that is no fault of the kit I just want to include that for people considering those tires, you could trim the liner and it should fit okish. The only thing I noticed was that with the rear subframe spacers the exhaust rubs on the subframe. Longer exhaust hanger rubbers should fix that tho.

Things you need if going from stock to the lift

The kit is bolt-on and alignment is reasonably perfect afterwards. The back tire does look as if it moves forward….I have mud flaps so it isn’t pronounced. However….drive it a bit and it will become less pronounced. Besides this kit…you need longer exhaust rubber hangers. I went to autozone and purchased a set that was for a Chrysler and drops the exhaust cat-back to the dual exhaust about an inch to put it where it should be….otherwise the exhaust pipe will bang on the rear crossmember. It’s my daily driver…and the only thing I notice is that I sit higher and because of the slight lift and slight change of center of gravity…steering is a little sensitive. Going to the larger wider tire should help with that. If not…it’s not a huge issue.
