With my wife now getting a 2018 Crosstrek, nice vehicle by the way, my poor Outback seems to sit lower! :frown2: And I'm seriously considering raising the Outback a bit, which would raise the seat position as well. A bit higher driver's seat would be welcome, I'm 6' 2" and another inch or two would make it really easy to slide in and out.
The $200 question of course is, do I go BIG, as in say an LP Adventure 2" Lift (similar to the ADF setup, but I like it better), or do I settle for something around 1-1.25 inches. - I'd be using sub-frame spacers in addition to the 1-1.25 inch to re-center and align the back-end. If I understand correctly, the 4th Gen front alignment would be close to max adjustment at 1.25 inches. The LP Adventure/ADF setups of course incorporate a camber/caster adjustment to bring the front end back into spec.
Did anybody here to with the shorter 1" range lift and regret now going bigger?
And did anybody go with the 2" ADF/LP Adventure lift and have increased problems with their 4th Gen?
Thanks All
Almost forgot, with 54k and 6 years on the clock, should I swap the struts? - What has your strut life been like, I've seen other vehicles go 120k on a struts and others barely make 50-60k. Mine seems to have good control yet, but it is a question worth asking.
