The Subaru Crosstrek has become a celebrated choice with adventure enthusiasts. Over the past year we have received a lot of requests from first generation Crosstrek owners who want a ReadyLIFT SST Lift Kit solution for their 2013-2017 platform. We are excited to announce that we now offer a great lift solution to serve their needs. The new 69-9315 SST Lift Kit provides 1.5" of front and rear lift on the 2013-2017 first-gen Crosstrek vehicles (Premium, Premium CVT and Limited CVT). Using the same lift technology developed for the newer global platform CrossTrek and Outback, our engineers recently completed a brand new kit design that blends our offset front strut technology with a rear sub-frame drop solution. This 1.5" lift system provides a taller stance that increases ground clearance and allows for larger tires.
The 69-9315 SST Lift Kit for first-gen '13-17 Subaru Crosstrek provides 1.5" of front lift and 1.5" of rear lift for trouble-free Subaru adventures. This lift combination creates an exceptional improved stance that, when combined with a P215/75-15 tire, results in a substantial increase of ground clearance at the rockers. a more aggressive appearance, and the right amount of addition tire sidewall for a more comfortable, capable ride on and off road.
69-9315 is completely bolt-on and requires no vehicle modifications, installs in half the time of other kits, and retains the factory camber/caster for ideal alignment courtesy of our unique offset spacer design.
This new Subaru Crosstrek SST Lift Kit maintains the factory driving dynamics while accommodating up to a brawny 215/75-15 tire on a 15x7 wheel with +10 mm offset. (Minor trimming may be required depending on tire brand and tread design).
NOTE: Some lifted Subaru models may exhibit low speed 'rumble' or 'wobble' between 17-22 MPH. This is the result soft and/or aging rubber in the factory transmission mount that may become noticeable with the new CV angles of the lifted vehicle. The issue can be addressed with an affordable aftermarket 'anti-wobble' transmission mount or mount insert.

Tire Fitment
- 215/75-15 tire on 15x7 wheel with +10 to +15 mm offset
Tire Size Note: ReadyLIFT wheel and tire fitment recommendations are typically based on Wheel Pros wheels and Nitto tires. Due to product differences among tire manufacturers, tire specifications and dimensions including, but limited to, overall diameter, rolling diameter, tread width, aspect ratio, lug pattern, sidewall construction and inflation pressure, will vary meaningfully by tire and wheel manufacturer. Every tire and wheel combination should be test fit prior to installation. Consult your local installer to learn more about the right tire fitment for your application.
Ride Quality Note: When lifting a vehicle and installing aftermarket wheels and tires, a tire manufacturer's construction and material quality can alter vehicle ride quality. When increasing a vehicle wheel and tire size, most larger aftermarket truck and SUV tires are 10-ply (or more) E tires compared to typical OEM 6-ply C tires. This more rigid sidewall construction increases the perception of suspension stiffness often described as ride harshness. The ride, handling, traction, noise, fuel economy, and wear differences between All-Season, All-Terrain, Mud-Terrain, or Trail-Terrain type tires can be significant. Please take into account tire and wheel choice will generally have a meaningful impact on the ride & handling experience.
