Sumo lift kit for SG foresters!

[massni94]

Hey guys,
Not sure if you're aware, but sumo parts have finally updated their site including everything need to lift an SG forester.
https://www.sumoparts.com/SUMO-2-Lift-Kit-for-2006-2008-SG9_p_45.html

Just wondering if I purchased a 2 inch lift with trailing arms as well.
Would I need to extend my brake lines?
I wouldn't mind keeping the stock springs and shocks, because although a new kit would add lift, their stiffness would probably decrease my articulation
thanks in advanced everyone.
Merry late Christmas and a happy new year

Nope your brake likes will be fine.
If you want a hand to install the kit just let me know.

Are you joining our WA offroad Subarus BBQ tomorrow?

Sweet, that makes it alot less of a hassle
Will let you know taza, I have a hoist and full garage at my disposal anytime, which is handy.
Unfortunately not
I'm going down dunsborough way early tomorrow morning, but I hope it all goes well.
Will takes some good pics on the bears track with the foz

Too easy. I run a very similar setup in my SF (same base structure as SG).
I too have a hoist and whole workshop at my disposal anytime.
Sure makes like easy haha
Send me a pm when your ready to put it in. We can probably knock the whole job out in a 3-4hours.

+1 for the trailing arm blocks.

Remember after you do this you need a wheel alignment, also you need to release the tension in the front lower control arm rear bush. I didnt & both of mine crapped out

Just out of interest have you had any contact with Sumo? I sent them an email in Dec about postage to Aus as there is no info on their site at all and have not heard back.

Are there any Australian companies that make lift blocks like these? Either 1 or 2 inch?

PM sent.

$195 for postage of both the blocks and the trailing arm spacers to Aus

That is a bit rich!
