  1. Wheels, Tires, Brakes, & Suspension
    Installed a 19mm rear sway bar a while back. I have a Ready Lift 2'' lift kit and would like to install it now that my tires need replacement. Debating on doing a self-install or taking it to a shop. I'd like to only replace the 225/60R18 tires on my 18'' stock rims. Will that work with the...
  2. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    I'm thinking of lifting my '03, but I'm having trouble finding subframe spacers for alignment. I saw that ADF does make some, but they are significantly more than the offerings (for other models) from RalliTek or Primitive, and I'd have to get them coated/treated. What spacers do you all run...
  3. Tire Discussion
    Picked up my first 1999 Outback(and Subaru) last week. Tires are a little on the rough side so I'm looking to get some new rubber. Once the hellscape that is MN winter is over I will be putting a 2" lift in. That being said I'd like to get a tire size that won't look to small when the lift gets...
  4. Outback Unpaved
    Hi all! :D New member, prepping to pick up my new '23 Outback Wilderness shortly! I noted some of this in my introduction but I've often been off-road for work and with the demise of my last car I'm looking to set up my Subaru for success. Given my last car was 25 years old at the end, it's...

    Hi all! 😄 New Subaru owner here - a '23 Wilderness. My venerable '97 4Runner was showing some frame rust, and the ol' reliable was totaled in a nasty wreck (hydroplaned on the highway, nailed a highway sign, a tree, and a concrete wall - miraculously got out unscathed!). Aaaaanyway... I've...

    So I have just bought an Ironman 4x4 2" suspension lift, found here, 2" All Terrain Suspension Lift Kit Suited For 2015-19 Subaru Outback BS I'm really trying to build a sweet Overlanding rig and content machine for my Subaru account @elsa.outback on IG. I'm now currently shopping for wheels...

    I have a 2018 that I would like to put these tires and wheels on: Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 245/65/R17 Wheels will be 17x8 +38 Offset Will they fit without a lift kit and not rub? If not, will the same wheels with Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail 235/65/R17 fit? The tire shop will test fit the...

    Im looking to purchase new rims and tires for my 2015 Subaru Outback, I also will be installing a 2-in lift. This being said I've seen multiple posts where a 245 65 R17 will fit with a very specific 38 mm wheel offset. My question is instead of going with a 245 I want to use a 235 65 R17 tire...

    Hi everyone, I'm Jeremy and on Instagram you can find me @bikewagn. My family lives in Eastern NC and obviously I enjoy riding bikes. I ride both road and mountain, and the Subaru helps me haul them around. I've had many different vehicles and never wanted a Subaru, until I saw the OBW. I'm...
  11. Offroad Tech
    I bought a modified 2017 Outback 3.6r Limited yesterday at a dealers. They didn't 8nform me it had a lift kit on it. It's fine. I live in Oregon. It could be useful. But I heard a clank last night on the front driver's side. I have heard it a few times now and I have some serious concerns. It's...

    I have 2" lifts in the front of my Legacy. Currently my CV axles are at an extreme angle to accomodate this change in geometry. I'd like to reduce the angle of the CV axles and am thinking of adding Outback subframe spacers, (20570AC040) to do this. See picture below of spacer and "cradle stud...

    Hi, I recently bought an EU spec 2006 Outback 3.0 5EAT w. self-leveling rear suspension. I’m looking to modify it and make it into an adventure wagon by lifting it, adding bigger tires, a rooftop tent, and whatnot. The first step is adding the 2’’ lift kit to it. I’m located in Sweden so...

    Hi, I'd like to install a set of 1-inch lift spacers, both front and rear. If any of you have done the same, how did it impact your Outback's fuel efficiency? Did you experience any other consequences with such a moderate lift (CV boot wear, etc.)? Thanks!
  15. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    The other day, as I was taking my son to school, I parked on the street. Misguided the edge and front right wheel went off the curb, accompanied by a pretty loud thump. I thought there was a big hole next to the street, but the drop was only about 4". Did not think too much about it and drove...

  17. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hey everyone! got an old 99 legacy outback camper / battlewagon project I want to lift up a couple inches and get bigger tires, but I have concerns about the lift and how it will stress ball joints, bushings, and axle shafts etc, more than they were designed to accommodate. I want this thing...

    2in Subaru Suspension Lift (15-19 Outback) New spacer lift from 2” Rough Country. Any one plan to order this or have experience with RC products in the past? It’s very reasonably priced and looks well built. I’m wondering what the difference between this and an LP Aventure 2” lift would be.
  20. Wheels, Tires, Brakes, & Suspension
    I have had a clunk towards the front right of the vehicle since I installed the Flatout suspension coilovers. It’s mostly at slower speeds going over small bumps. Originally I thought it was a bad end link on the sway bar so I ordered beefier rallyteck ones. I then decided to remove the front...
