1/2" Rear Overload Bilstein B6 Lift Kit - Fits 09-13 Subaru Forester

Easy to Install

After watching your YouTube videos on replacing the rear struts I decided to give it a go. I needed to upgrade the stock struts on my 2012 Forester which were worn. I am very happy with the new struts, you can actually see a height difference in the back of the car and towing a trailer does not sag the rear of the car down.

Awesome upgrade!

The overload springs on these struts are perfect when your Forester is loaded. I carry mountain bikes in a hitch mounted carrier and it rides great. If you never load up your Forester then don’t get them. They do make the ride a bit firmer than I am sure some will like. I don’t mind it as it’s way more fun in the corners, less body roll. They claim .5 lift + or - a bit but mine went up 1.25” in the back on my MT base model. I love it though! Front was closer to claimed +.25 spec. Install was very easy at home. Made a mark on the camber bolt to put it back in roughly the same spot, then drove it in for a professional alignment. Thanks for putting these together Rallitek!

Incredible!

This project started out as a “simple” spring swap. Well, for anyone who has performed a spring swap knows it is not a simple project. So I called up the guys at RalliTEK where they arranged for me to send back the springs and top hats I had already purchased and install them on a set of Bilstein struts. Once I had the struts, I replaced control arms/ ball joints and slipped these bad boys in. Wow! The car handles like a dream and the “sag” in the rear of my Forester is gone. Thank you, RalliTEK!
