Upgrade your 1998-2002 Subaru Forester's off-road capabilities and clearance with our comprehensive 4.5” Lift Kit. This advanced kit includes 2.5” and 2” strut spacers alongside a 2” full Subframe spacer set, specifically designed to optimize CV joint angles and extend their lifespan. The Spacer Kit is complete with components for the Engine Crossmember, Transmission, Carrier bearing, Differential hanger, and rear Differential, aiming for a seamless upgrade. Prepare for an installation commitment of 10-12 hours.

Manufacturing: Constructed from 1/4" Steel, laser cut and formed with additional gussets for maximum strength and reliability. Precise laser-cut holes ensure exact fitment. The 2.5” lower lift brackets are crafted from ¼” Steel for high tire clearance, allowing for larger tires and providing a total lift of 2.5 inches.

Optimized Factory Alignment: Designed to maintain ideal CV joint angles for lifts over 2.5", our subframe spacers prevent exceeding the 2-2.5" limit over the factory angle. Camber and Caster adjustments are integrated into the spacers to adhere to factory alignment specs. We advise a professional alignment post-installation to correct any potential variances.

Included Trailing Arm Spacers: This kit features 3” Trailing Arm Spacers, further enhancing stability and performance.

Versatile Rear Height Options: To accommodate varying loads or correct uneven stances, our kit offers different rear spacer heights, all designed as solid units for a straightforward lift. Adding 3/8” compensates for mild loads/weight (75 lbs.), + ½” more for excessive loads/weight (90 lbs.). For particularly heavy loads, standard height king springs are recommended.

Essential Hardware Provided:

  • Steering shaft extension
  • Extended pitch mount
  • Radiator hose extension

Installation Requirements: Some modifications are necessary for a perfect fit, including the upper radiator hose, which needs cutting and sleeving with the provided extension. The steering shaft requires drilling for the new spacer, and manual transmissions may need shift linkage modifications. Adjustments to the air box and potentially other components might be needed for optimal functionality.

Note that specific vehicle modifications not listed may be required to ensure the kit functions flawlessly.
