    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...

    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...

    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...
