ReadyLIFT now offers a great lift solution for the 2014-2018 MY Subaru Forester. The Subaru Forester is extremely popular with adventure enthusiasts. Using the same lift technology developed for the Crosstrek, our engineers have designed a brand new lift solution that will raise the 2014-2018 Subaru Forester 2" for a taller stance that increases ground clearance and allows for larger tires.
Using our time-tested lift engineering technology from our award-winning, best-selling truck and Jeep lift kits, our engineers developed the 69-9420 SST Lift Kit for 2014-2018 Forester vehicles to provide 2" of front lift and 1.5" of rear lift for trouble-free Subaru adventures. Both front and rear offset design spacers are fabricated from heavy-duty steel and protected with a durable powder coat finish. This lift combination creates an exceptional improved stance that, when combined with a P225 tire, results in a substantial increase of ground clearance at the rockers.

This kit is completely bolt-on and requires no 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 Forester SST Lift Kit maintains the factory ride while accommodating up to a brawny 225/75-15 tire on a 15x7 wheel with +15 mm offset and requires no trimming.
Allows for up to a 225/75-15 tire on a 15x7 wheel with +15 offset.Allows for up to a 235/75-15 tire on a 15x7 wheel with +15 offset with minor plastic trimming.
If you are looking for a premium quality lift kit for your Outback, our 2" lift kit is perfect for you without having to overpay for components you don't need.
Offset designed fabricated heavy-duty steel plate top-mount strut extensions maintain factory alignment geometry.
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 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.
