Outback Wilderness Shocks/Struts for Forester

[GateFinder]

Does anyone happen to know if you can install the shock/struts from an Outback Wilderness on an SK?

Is there some advantage? All I can suggest is to compare part numbers

 

[GateFinder]

It would provide a mild lift while staying with Subaru parts. The Outback Wilderness had a greater increase in clearance than the Forester Wilderness, and I believe it would also be a bit heavier duty.

It would be rly nice to like have thread for like all models all struts dimensions and what fits what. But like in one place from oldest models to newest so maybe someone could do like cheap lift with some used struts without spacers.

 

[GateFinder]

Yeah, that would probably be a handy thread.

I'm not very interrested in the new Subarus but I did some research for the older SF, SG and BG Outback, here for example :

Yes lots cool stuff rly out there between models . Like obk bp in front can be slightly lifted just with sh forester front strut. As its about 15mm higher.
Or like in reat if you going for 10 cm and more lift its e34 bmw rear struts are like 10 cm higher. Could use bmw strut and merc spring and subaru mount. Lots stuff out there that really works so you dont need like custom made things if you search
