We finally give our Forester XT a proper lift, new wheels, and some off-road tires. The lift is from Subtle Solutions, at 1.5 inches it gives us plenty of clearance for the BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires and the Method Race MR502 Wheels.

Great series guys! Love it! Just like my red Forester XT. I've had several turbo charged cars in the past and the forester xt is by far the funnest due to it's higher clearance, spacious trunk, power and sleeper status. Keep 'em coming guys! Love the series!

Hi Rick, I swapped out the plastic engine guard for a thick Primitive skidplate. Rear diff protected by a Subaru rear diff protector. Thinking of adding some hard plastic in the rear to protect the rear axle boots, as they get *PELTED* by rocks/debris while rallycrossing. Can't wait for your next episode, love it! Cheers!

@ne4ious 5 лет назад

@andreined8463 4 года назад

ne4ious stock offset is +45. His wheels are +15 so his tire sticks out. With his offset you have to raise your Subaru. With stock offset 215/65 or 70/16. Or 225/60/16. On my 04 215/70/15 with +15 offset raised

I own a 98 forester, so I need to know what if any differences in the suspension would be so I can lift mine properly, because I currently live in snow country, and I want better traction and clearance for my car.I'm gonna get an led light bar for the roof of It (I don't use the roof rack,so it'll probably go there) and probably modify the bumper for some fog lights.

@thespecter2 5 лет назад

Excellent build. I have an 04 XT and will look to do the same. Thank you for clarifying the trailing arm spacer situation as well. I am doing 1.5 inch strut spacers and didn't know whether to go with a 2 inch or 1 inch trailing arm kit. Just a couple questions here: Is the downpipe swap you did prior primarily responsible for the deep exhaust sound? Also, would you recommend the BF Goodrich tires for someone that wants A/T tire but primarily drives on highway (I want low noise and comfortability as much as possible)?

@rallysportdirect 5 лет назад

Awesome! I would probably go with the 2inch spacers, it should help keep the alignment perfect even when the suspension droops a bit. And the Downpipe certainly added to the sound for sure. The Tomei exhaust on the factory downpipe still sound amazing, but just not quite as good as this LOL. And for the tires, BFGoodrich can't be beat. For a daily I might go with the K02's as opposed to the KM's as they are more civil on the highway yet still incredibly capable off-road. Let us know if you have any other questions!! Thanks, Rick

@thespecter2 5 лет назад

@@rallysportdirect Thank you for the reply. I'm looking to do the same size tires. I'm trying to calculate in my head why the TA offset would be greater than the lift though... Isn't the point of the TA spacer to center the wheels after elongating the strut space? How would a 2 inch TA spacer be better than a 1.5 inch TA spacer given that we are working with a 1.5 inch lift?

@subtle-solutions 5 лет назад

@@thespecter2 you should always match up your lift kit (strut) spacer size with the same size Trailing Arm (TA) spacer, unless you are running a larger than stock diameter tire or lift springs with your setup. In that case, like this Torquester project, you would want to run the 2" Trailing Arm spacer.

@subtle-solutions 3 года назад

Yes, we manufacture the front 1.5" and rear 1.5" strut spacers for this lift kit. I'm not sure why RallysportDirect does not have them listed on their website. They are one of our dealers. Yes, you would want to match the trailing arm spacers to the total lift that you are installing. Some people go with the 2" TA spacers if they are running a much larger than stock offroad tire for extra clearance, or if they have springs paired up with the lift kit.

The stock location spring perches will rub on the 235s, you will need to go with something like a Coilover setup to make those tires work. Thanks, Biggie
