my 04 forester 1.5" lift

Figured id share my experience to add to what works.
1" spacer on front, 1.5" spacer on rear, 1.5" trailing arm bracket spacer with anti crush tubes, added camber bolts to rear, muflap delete, alignment by a subaru tech.
Rides the same just higher now and no issues. The car aligned and they got it to the specs inthe pic. Does anyone know if 235/65/16 tires will fit with maybe a 10mm wheel spacer? Just in case i come across a used set to throw on for fun. Overall Im very satisfied with how it looks, its definitely less saggy in the back. The cost/return thing was also good, total was around $340 with alignment. I did manage to pull the front pass. Side axle apart trying to squeeze the strut back in and need to add more grease now as it leaked out.. I also had to cut a portion of the bracket spacers to get it to fit perfectly. The car also has cams, exhaust, and aem piggyback.

Mate what lift kit did you use ?

Simply a 1" spacer set from primitive motorsports through ebay, 1/2" rear spacers used $25 shipped! from ebay, the bracket spacers I made in my garage, and the hardware for the rear strut tops and trailing arm spacer is grade 8.8 from a local hardware store. Thats it. I also applied new undercoating. I figured this was the most for the least money and am happy that it snowed 6+ inches this moring for me to test out! I'm a GM for a local towing company so I have to leave out before the roads are plowed in lots of cases.:ebiggrin:

Great job!!

Good find on ebay, well done !!

Thanks guys! I couldn't have done it without reading up on other peoples experiences.
