First off, this is a really cool video, high quality, and super helpful, so thank you. Something to consider would be to keep the music at a more consistent volume with your vocals and a more subtle increase so that your vocals don't seem as quiet and a viewer doesn't need to keep turning the volume up and down listening between the two. The music becomes very loud compared to the vocals. I'm watching on my TV and sound system, so a little different than phone and computer, but just a suggestion for future videos coming from a video editor and mograph artist. Looking forward to more content!
Great stuff! After discovering this video I went to your website and ordered a few goodies for my 2022 Outback Wilderness. I wish you made skid plates for the OBW as well because now I must purchase from another company.
This kit makes me nervous. No bumpstop modification in front most likely means now your suspension can bottom out on the strut assembly and cause damage. I don't know all the details of this kit, but no suspension geometry correction on front also means more stress and control arms are not at optimal angles.
No Need to be nervous our kits are tried and true with lots of people running them for 100s of thousands of miles with no issues. Our kits correct for any geometry change when lifting. But you will always be stressing cvs more then factory after lifting a Subaru there just no way around it unless someone goes full CUSTOM.
It is to prevent driveline vibration after a lift kit instillation on your car. It is not necessary on a car that Doesn’t have driveline vibrations after a lift kit install but to say it is not necessary at all in all situations is incorrect.
@@theadfcrew1431 Thanks , another question plz : how many cars would get vibration ( % ) would get vibration after the lift , and how difficult it is to locate and fix ?
Thanks for the video. For your next video, please normalize your audio. The commentary is muffled and the music is loud AF after turning up the volume to hear what's being said.
ADF Crew. Awesome video. We are getting a new Outback Wilderness ourselves and want to install this spacer lift kit. My question is does it affect the factory warranty?
Not entirely. We have dealerships that install and sell our kits with no issues and warranty there cars without question. If you installed a kit and had issues with the car and took it in. For them to deny the warranty they would have to prove that it was the kit that caused it issue.
Cause any potential issues no. But will decrease the life of the cv axles as will any lift kit on the market and coil over sets. Its just the name of the game
How come you can do a 245/70/17 on a wilderness? Is this just for ob or forester wilderness too? Do they have bigger wheel Wells than the regular models? I have a forester wilderness with 245/65/17 curious if you think I’d be able to go up a size too
@@dillonsorensen2427 This is just for a Outback wilderness with a 2" ADF lift as far as I know, no one has fitted 245/70r17s on a forester wilderness. I do not believe you would be able to go up a size as the wheel wells are a different shape but at some point someone will prolly try.
Hi there! Do you think I would be able to fit a 245/70/17 setup on my Outback wilderness with a 2” lift? I’m trying to do some research but it seems you guys are the closest I can find
@@aaronmarc8687 off the top of my head these wheels are a +28 offset and they slightly rubbed on a support bracket in the front, which needs a slight tap with a hammer to bend a it slightly to not rub but if you went with more off set you wouldn't have issue there. you would want our engine skid plate for the relocation of the front fender plastic and then you wouldnt have any rub. but keep in mined some 245/70r17 tires are slightly larger then others of the same size.
If they told you that they don’t know what there talking about.. ours is lifted 2” over the .8 from factory and has no issue works as it did factory. And we have not heard of one person with a lift with issues with there eyesight
Hi ADF Crew, question - can you provide more detail on the wheels, like exact size and offset that fit with those size tires? Also, when you say they rub in the front where exactly are they rubbing? The inside plastic of the fender or the outside? Thank you!
Hey! Yes we can these wheels are Method 17" 314 with a +30 Offset. Tires are 245/70r17 Toyo AT3. Currently we are running a Milestar tire they are running a lot smoother and take a lot less weight when balancing then the toyos. That being said the tire will rub on the inside plastic fender and a small amount on the mud flap. Our engine skid plate has a relocation slot for the front fender plastic to pull it out of the way of the tire so no cutting needed. if you have any more questions let me know!
So sick! Do you guys do paid installations for your 2 inch lift kits at your Estacada location? If so how much? Considering lifting my 05 forester sometime in the future.
@@theadfcrew1431 ok thanks! I’d like to do it myself I’m just worried I’ll screw something up (not very mechanically inclined at all). Think with enough time/patience and a friend who’s more mechanically inclined then I am, I could get it done at home?
@@pnw8836 I did my 1” lift on my ‘09 forester at home, took about 5 hours. That’s without multi link spacers - but you could definitely do it in a full day.
I lifted my 2017 Outback 2” and got a bit of trans wobble/vibration on take off around 20mph. Even with the carrier spacers. Does this happen with the newer outback ?
some times the carrier spacer will fix this. but if its more of a wobble and less of a vibration its usually because the trans is tqing to much on take off and the cv angles are at sharper angles. putting a transmission bushing in usually fixes this 100% of the time or will minimize the wobble you speak of. we also have a install video of this install.
Nice. Does lifting the outback interfere with the way the eyesight system works? Also how’s the ride on city streets? Last what tire setup did you go with?
That's the height the wilderness models should have been from the factory! Quick question, I've got a forester wilderness, you think I could install the lifted rear struts with the subframe disconnected in the forester like you guys did with this one? I had lifted my previous '19 forester, and it was a huge pain to get the rear struts back in! Probably the hardest part of installing the whole lift.
Yes subframe can be disconnected to install the struts. However, disconnect the sway bar end link on the control arm and the lower section of the hub. Install the struts compress the lower control arm with a jack to lift it in place. This is only if you are not installing the multi link spacers at the same time.
@@andersondesign-fab4405 thank you! What I did when lifting my '19 was I installed the subframe spacers first, tightened everything down, then installed the struts.
@@JDS-Dalton yeah that can be a bit harder for sure. Have learned over the years haha. Pretty much the same instal for the most part too if there factory struts. Not the easiest job if you don’t have 2 guys who have some weight to them pushing down on the hub
@@andersondesign-fab4405 yea, for me, it was just myself, a floor jack, and no power tools in a cramped apartment garage haha. But I'll definitely make sure to keep my subframe detached until after I get the struts installed on my wilderness this time around!
Would not Void the entire warranty only what is effected by the kit like cv axles and even that is left up to the dealer to decide. They also have to prove that the lift caused said warranty claim
yes we do here is the link to the product awdadventure.com/collections/2020-subaru-outback-wilderness/products/2022-subaru-outback-wilderness-2-strut-spacers-w-multi-link-spacers
