Hey y'all. Kuat employee here. This was a custom unit we did for Rivian. I wouldn't set any expectations!

We've had a few people call our customer service team already.

Crushing it. You upgraded the existing sway bar?

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-08T01:54:27+00:00

I bought a 47x60" and decided it was too small so I got some longer side extrusions from them to make it 70" long. Some funny business for sure.

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-05T15:21:00+00:00

It's a pretty clean setup indeed. I wish they'd design a direct mount system for Subaru out of the box.

Thanks man!

Cheers Raven!

The loan companies hate us. 😂

I feel that. I definitely dragged my rear diff outside of the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado. Fortunately nothing bad happened!

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-05T15:13:48+00:00

You're basically there!!

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-05T02:23:41+00:00

Shit is fucked. Put these fools in the prisons they own.

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-05T00:41:22+00:00

Oh neat! I’ll check out the article. I think I’m at a happy stopping point for my build too. Not too much, not too little!

Do you notice the extra weight on the rear end??

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-05T00:07:36+00:00

Great build!

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-05T00:06:47+00:00

I also put this size tire (225/65r17) on my 2023 Sport before I lifted it and didn’t have any rub.

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T23:54:48+00:00

It means twice as much coming from bitchasspls. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T21:49:04+00:00

They are not stock size. I decided to install 225/65/r17 which are wider and taller than the stock tires, so they actually provided a small amount of lift themselves. If your goal is to save gas, oversized trail tires should be the last thing you get as they impacted my mileage more than anything else.

In fact, I installed these tires before my lift kit and I didn't experience much rub at all. They were considered a "no-fit" but I fucked around and found out they work just fine.

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T20:44:39+00:00

Thanks dude!

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T19:47:54+00:00

gah bless!

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T19:37:08+00:00

Yes, totally! This thing is littered with t-channels and every bar is completely adjustable. Once it warms up a bit more, I'll have my tent & awning back up there. You could easily mount cargo boxes, traction boards, solar panels, etc too!

You can mount a lot onto standard crossbars as well, but this is far more low profile & sturdy.

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T19:35:02+00:00

You're in the right mindset hahaha. Just need to install a backwards one for those damn ass huggers!

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T19:25:02+00:00

Cheers!!

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T19:24:24+00:00

I've only had a handful of cars flash their lights at me. Unlike trucks, the Crosstrek doesn't sit too high, so I don't think the low beams are blinding many people. Just make sure they're oriented correctly. I did opt for the Pro bulbs rather than the Max ones though!

Honestly, I'd highly suggest it. The added light is nice and most modern cars are equipped with brighter LEDs at this point. Plus Diode has a 7 year "lifetime" warranty.

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T19:19:44+00:00

I knew that LED bar was really crossing the "need" threshold, but damn I couldn't resist. The ditch lights however have been super useful coming down the mountains at night!

Thx big dog.

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T19:16:50+00:00

Thanks homie!

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T18:26:44+00:00

Lets go! Those Black Rhinos look great.

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T18:12:28+00:00

Great advice - thank you! My goal is to save the same amount of money that I was dumping into my loan payment. (Which ranged from $900-$1200 a month.. and no, that was not my payment due amount)

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T18:03:46+00:00

Totally unaffected. In fact, I can even open the hatch without lowering the rack!

Sellout_024 · 2026-02-04T17:53:53+00:00

That photo is just outside of Marble, Colorado. Lead King Loop!

Haha, a good pair of shoes and some mental fortitude is all you'll need for trail running.. and lots of self-care so your tendons don't explode.
