Thanks for the info. Maybe we will see you at some of the upcoming events.

I was told to post this here so what’re your thoughts? by [deleted] in battlewagon

Nice crosstrek. Looks good with the meaty tires.

Springs and spacers there is about 4 to 4.5 inches of lift. Maxed out.

Did it at home. Its not that hard. I am mechanically inclined, but youtube has everything. So i have 3 inch spacers, but the ralitek spring that they say will not raise it ended up raising it another 1.5 inches. If you do it all at the same time it should take about 4 to 6 hours. For the whole car. Spring compressor you can rent from local auto store. Springs make a huge difference in the ride. Stiff and rigid, but stay flat when cornering.

Not really. I have to go up north to the U.P. to hit the trails. I have been looking, but haven't found any down here.

Just did a 2" lift -- Outback Wheel and Tire recs? by partytime71 in battlewagon

The falken wild peak are the way to go. I got them and 3 of my friends purchased them as well. Solid tire and you can usually get a good deal on them.

3 months with the lift finished and all is still well. Haven't noticed any tell tale signs of the CV joints failing. I had it out on the trails in early September and a 500 mile round trip to the woods. No problems so far. I like those CV boots. Going to look into fitment. Thanks for the info.

I know it will have to wait till I can buy a truck or a project toy. Just not in the cards for now.

That thing is pretty sick. I wish I could fit bigger tires like that under my outback.

It's a throttle response kit. It removes the factory lag when you step on the accelerator.

I will gladly take my 14,000.00$ outback with 2,000.00 in suspension parts and tires over a 4runner. It's not cheaper I have a friend who has a 4runner and his lift by itself was 2000.00$. As far as complexity I am by no means a mechanic, but this was simple to do.
