    There are some King Springs 2 inch lift for a 97 Legacy for sale near me and I'm pretty sure it would bolt right up to my 07 Forester but I'm not 100% sure. I'm also curious if the 2-inch lift for the legacy would have any effect on my Forester ride hight. I was planning on lifting it with lift...

  6. Offroad Suspension
    Good afternoon everyone, After talking to Anderson design and primitive about lifts, and extensive reading through this forum. It would seem that doing a 2” spacer lift, with king springs, and bilstein b6 struts would basically murder the CV joints and control arm bushings. Through reading I...
  7. Offroad Suspension
    I just purchased a 1” lift from Anderson Design & Fabrication for my 2011 5MT Forester. Prior to my purchase, I scoured subaruforester.org as well as offroadsubarus.com for user experiences about various lift heights. I searched Instagram hashtags for lifted foresters and compared the visual...

    Hello everyone, this is my first post! I’ve been resurrecting an 02 Forester I bought on the cheap for about a month now. I put in a low mile ej20, a low mile 5MT transaxle out of an 04 forester and a 2” lift using spacers. Took it on a 600 mile test camping trip and everything was awesome. I...

    Hello All! Recently bought an automatic 2005 Forester XS at the end of last year. It's my daily drive, however I live in the PNW and value off road capabilities so I was looking at doing some modifications to bolster it in that aspect. After reading posts on here I'm considering a 2 inch ADF...
  12. Offroad Suspension
    So I’m torn between Anderson’s 2” strut spacer or primitives 1” lift kit. Primitives is on sale and has king springs and more to it but it’s not as aggressive of a lift? Any thoughts? I’m newer to over landing and all it entails with the vehicle side of things so, if you’d like, please tell me...

  14. Offroad Suspension
    Hey all, this is my first post on here, so I hope I’m doing this right. I’ve got a 2004 XT 4eat that I am wanting to lift a little. I’m thinking about either ADF 2” top hat spacers or eBay 3” top hat spacers. I am also wanting bigger tires but want to keep stock wheels. I’m wondering if anyone...
  15. Steering, Suspension and Handling
    Sometimes I tow a trailer that is actually over capacity for the car. I need to beef up the rear suspension to prevent sag. I have beefed up the hitch, 7 way wiring, ( trailer has brakes ) and put in a heavy duty high capacity transmission cooler on the vehicle, 2019 touring with the boxer...

    Hey y'all, I have been looking at the 2" lift kits made by bit Rallitek and ADF, originally I had been leaning towards the ADF one, but I found the Rallitek one just today. Now as far as I can tell they have no difference except about $50, anyone have any experience with either one? Or another...

    Selling a used 1.5" front/ 1 7/8" rear Anderson Design & Fabrication lift kit for the SH Foresters. I purchased the kit used off of this site 2 years ago and never got around to installing it on my daily driver. I recently had to get new springs/struts and ended up getting the raised Rallitek...
  18. Offroad Suspension
    I'm looking to do a 1" lift with upgraded springs and have no idea what kit to go with or if one is better than the other. I'm planning to install stiffer standard height springs to get rid of the saggy butt and put some gear in the back for camping with the possibility of doing some light...
  19. Offroad Suspension
    So I own a 2001 forester with 2” strut spaces and subframe spacers to even out the alignment. I’m wondering if anyone has some tips as to why my check engine light would be on? And why it looks higher in the front than the rear!?
