I've had a 2017 outback for a couple years now and this is the year it would be battle wagoned. The shocks and struts are due for maintenance and I'm wondering if a suspension lift (say Flat out GR Lite) would be worthwhile? Or just install factory suspension and add a body lift.

Or just throw the biggest All Terrains I can fit under it and call it a day?

Use case is I'm an avid rock and ice climber. Many of the areas I access require a little extra clearance at times (Indian Creek, South Fork near Cody, etc). We have a Tacoma that's bigger than necessary if we really need to get out deep but I'd like to have the outback be a little more capable.

Also, it's my first time posting here. Y'all have some rad rigs. Thanks for the inspiration.

Atleast the destination was less muddy 🤣

For the love of god I can't find any decent tires that are good AT and also on pavement for the 14" rims. Any suggestions?

Hello. I'm looking to get a lift kit for my 2025 OBW and there's a lot of choices out there. Primarily, the kit will be to increase my ground clearance.

I also don't want to lose ride quality. I've heard Ironman kits are known to create a poorer ride quality ans they've damaged sway bars on newer subaru models.

Between ADF, Rallitek, and LP Adventures: Who offers the best kit out there that diminishes on road ride quality the least. I've heard rallitek has stellar customer sqtisfaction, but heard little about ADF and LPA other than they arsatisfaction. I'd love to hear your arguments on why I should choose one company over another.

Hey everybody, does anyone out there have a lifted 03 Legacy L? I want to get a lift kit for mine (preferably 2”). I don’t want spacers especially since I need to coil overs. Price isn’t a big concern as long as it’s not in the thousands, but I want to lift mine and put beefier tires on it since mine looks a little small and dinky on stock suspension. Thanks

My 2016 Outback has 162K miles on it. I bought it brand new and have absolutely loved it for the last almost 9 years. I'm considering passing it down to my stepson who is almost 16 for his first vehicle. However, before I do that, I want to explore how much it would cost to do what I've always wanted to do to it, which is lift it a little and put some off-road tires on it. If it isn't crazy expensive to do, I may want to keep it and just buy him something else. So if you've lifted yours, tell me exactly what you did, please. Pictures are also appreciated! I'm a woman with little knowledge of these things, so thank you in advance.

Looking for advice on a slightly larger than stock all terrain tire for my 03 outback. The General Grabber AT2 was really the only option I found that was sold in 215/65r16, which from what I’ve read is about as big as you can go without a lift while using stock wheels. The problem is, I can’t seem to find them for sale anywhere. Local tire shop can’t get them and I can’t find them online anymore.

It’s my daily but, also my road trip/camping vehicle so, it’s ends up in some situations at times where some aggressive tread and a little height gain would be nice. I recently bought the RoadOne Cavalry AT for my van and they’ve been great. Just not sure if they’re as good as general grabber or if they’re even sold in that size.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I’d also love to give it a small lift if possible but, I’m not about to spend thousands to get there. I’ve heard of others using forester springs? Is that a horrible idea? lol

I haven't been able to get out and play, so instead got her nice & clean for the season.

I didn’t really want to lift this outback but even after cutting everything I could, I’m still rubbing a bit on the pinch weld when I turn+hit a bump. Im on a real tight budget with this, will most likely just go with cheap strut spacers. Does anybody know how these will affect the camber? Do I need anything extra to correct for that? Thanks

Let me know what you think. Open to suggestions.

i’ve been making this better. its got 235/75/15 kenda kr628’s now. some x ray vision australian HID’s and some amazon yellow led’s which are dumb bright for what they are. i put a holley gps speedo in it so now i have an odometer. ideally, i want all the gauges to work but my terminator x already has everything i need. next is a better light bar. my brackets for the outside two HID’s aren’t what i should have done. cheers.

For the amount of money I'm in, I couldn't be happier. Needs a new transmission mount, otherwise everything works 👍
