How To Install Raceland Forester Lift Kit (2014-2018)

[@maxterry938]

Great video. I’m planning to install a lift on 2017 Forester and this confirms it isn’t rocket surgery. Much appreciated

[@northbrooksiii]

Currently installing this exact lift. The front can be tricky if you dont drop both sides at once due to the sway bar. The rear isnt nearly as complicated as it seems when you open the box and see a huge (seemingly) amount of spacers. Taking a breather right now because im about to drop the rear subframe and i get the feeling it may be a bit of a pain working on the ground. The product is outstanding though! Ill definitely use this company in the future!

Got this. Has same stuff as adf and way cheaper. I noticed a shudder or shake in the vehicle after the lift(common with any lift) i ordered a d75 medium trans insert mount from adf. I like this kit so far. My subaru sits nice

[@Hertacles]

Did the insert fix the NVH?

this install video needs more views!

[@gabrielestrada2686]

had a hard time reattaching the front strut after installing the spacer (first 3 minutes) Any tips? Install subframe spacers at the same time to give more play perhaps? HELP

[@racelandsuspension]

You'll want to make sure that you have both sides removed in order for there to be enough droop to reattach the struts after the spacers are installed.

This is very similar to the ADF kit but alot cheaper.

My 2015 Forester at 100k miles needs new struts so i was thinking of a little lift. How much will this lower the mpgs and screw with the ride quality? Would the increase sway and bounce be drastic from stock? My wife will be mad if it's too unstable.

[@racelandsuspension]

The ride won't be that much of a difference because it uses the stock struts, but when you change the height, it will drive differently for sure, as you're raising the center of gravity.

[@JUICEK1NG]

the adf kit states it will fit 09-18 and since this is very similar will it fit an 09-13 foz?

[@racelandsuspension]

Unfortunately, we haven't had the chance to fit test the earlier models. Sorry that we can't be of more help!

[@subaruforester5062]

There's a review on their page of this lift kit fitting 09 to 13. It will fit

[@kilbee7457]

It’ll fit. Just installed mine

[@tonycaine5930]

Awesome tutorial. Link to product page not working.

[@gettingfitat5015]

So this is the lift WITH the subframe drop? What if we only have the strut spacers? ...new to mechanic work! ;-)

[@subaruforester5062]

This kit has the sub frame drop yes

[@lowpez55]

Where can I find torque spec to rebolt?

[@racelandsuspension]

They are just the stock torque specs.

[@hedrick5286]

Anyone know if I could make this work on a 3rd gen forester.

[@joeldesrosiers6978]

Apprently it works. I haven't installed mine yet but if you check out in the reviews of their website someone did it. I read in a facebook group that there will be 2 spacers left but everything bolts on perfectly.

[@MattStringhamcom]

Are these powder coated?

[@racelandsuspension]

Yes. they are powder coated.

[@rockroller1829]
