SubieLiftOz Monster Lift Kit step by step installation guide

[@4x4maximus]

Maaattteeeee! I've seen the worst happen with axle stands "axle" being the operative word. Stick your removed tyres under the car before geting underneath and working especially if your undoing tight bolts like subframe bolts! Will save your life using axle stands as body stands. Safety starts with you

[@sumexp7228]

At my opinion this IS👈 a Truly professional grade "101" step guide video 😎👍 Excellent quality Beautifully explained.......... 😌 brilliant just bravo 👏 I would've been completely stoked if someone had made the same for 3rd gen Impreza 🤩 😅 almost figured it out ..... ish 🤪 but still questioning myself how cluch and shifter assembly will be affected by the 2 inches dropped (shifter can be an easy going Imo with a lowering bracket) Anyways nice Job Mister and thank you for your knowledge 😁 😎👍

[@fachinimichael]

I wish someone would make a video like this with the ADF monster lift kit

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

The parts and steps to install the lift should be the same, regardless of which company built the lift.

Mate; That looks pro. Well done.

[@soundslikeaplan841]

Mate that's why harder process than the 2 inch kit! Looks sick though

[@fozzynw9175]

Amazing! Great step by step video. Thank you soo much!

[@masterwindleborn]

Thanks bro this help me decide what I need to do! Haha well want to do. But I always thinking even though the bolts holding up subframe have a big well spacer around them wont the still bend warp and break?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Well with enough force yes, but I haven't seen anyone do that yet, and some of the guys running the SubieLiftOz kits wheel pretty hard.

[@masterwindleborn]

[@christopherdalley411]

Hell of a job. 👍👍👍

[@Ilikeguitaralot]

Just watching this for the first time as I prepare to do a lift on my 05 xt Forester and looking at my lift options. Amateur question: Is that suspension you're running pretty much stock? or would I need taller springs than stock for this to work? Would there be much benefit to purchasing other than stock springs? Also, did adding this lift allow you the option to run a larger tire size? Either way, what Tire size are you running? Thanks! Looks siiiick!

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

@@Ilikeguitaralot lots of questions there! Yes, in most cases the suspension stays stock and a lift spacer is simply the placed on top of the strut. I would avoid running raised springs but you can look at heavy duty springs if you plan to load up your subie for adventures. I run 215/75r15 tires. Unfortunately most Subarus don’t have much room to upsize wheels without modifying the body for clearance.

Just perched a 2005 forester xt with manual its got a 2.5 inch lift done with adf strut tops dont think it had any of the subframe spacers though as it's right cv boot tore a hole in it just driving home and the ride felt like it was slammed to the ground instead of like you would expect from a lifted vehicle. Trying to find the body spacers without including strut tops that I already have.

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

You shouldn’t need subframe spacers with only a 2.5” lift. If you do, you will have 1/2” ground clearance over stock and it will be very costly for such little gain. Use OEM driveshafts only and you shouldn’t have many problems.

[@kaboom06]

Any tips/tricks on how to install the rear struts? Im having trouble installing it. It seems like theres not much room. I have a 02 forester and im currently on my last step of installing the lift kit which is the rear struts. Thanks

[@wayniexagt]

you provide some great info mate .. ... so need need to extend brake lines ?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

crazy cooter not required with this lift. Any bigger and I would probably recommend it

[@wayniexagt]

@@ignitionoffroad5028 what about on full extension all good no problems with stretch or fowling ?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

crazy cooter it’s at its limit on full extension. The strut perch also sits lower so at full extension the perch rubs a little on the line. I’m going to look at modifying the brake line bracket on the body to route it a little better

[@wayniexagt]

@@ignitionoffroad5028 good work mate .... i did expect brake lines to may be an issue .. keep it up

[@franciscovasquez4555]

That a great set up how does it handle off road.

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Gives me plenty of clearance off road, and with the sway bars deleted front and rear it articulates nicely in the rough stuff. There is also more tyre clearance now so my wheels no longer rub on full lock

[@mikeneverdie8683]

Hi mate, I enjoyed all your video. I have 2012 forester x s3. I don’t no much about car but I want to do a lift, so I can go to Frazer island 🌴 this summer. I took me car to a few mechanic they told me never Lift it, it will have lot of problems. Do you know where I can take my car so, they can set it up properly or where can I buy the complete kit. I live here in Brisbane. Cheers Subaru lover

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

I would recommend a subieliftoz lift kit. There’s thousands of lifted subies out there and manufactures like Ironman 4x4 getting on board so what that mechanic said is rubbish. Can’t help you with shop recommendations unfortunately.

[@timmcdonald5553]

Does all of this removal need to be done with the 2"-2.5" lift on a XV as well, I've just received my lift kit from them

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

@@timmcdonald5553 no, they are completely different lift kits for different vehicles. The XV has a completely different suspension setup in the rear and the monster lift featured in this video is an extreme lift including spacing out the entire driveline which is not required for a 2” lift.

[@hoberspank]

When in doubt get the grinder out.

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

There is a plate you have to unbolt underneath the power steering rack. Remove that and then try to get it out. You might have to turn the sway bar to get it out as the ends will catch.

[@asofabs4732]

Is there something like this for the xv?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Just a bit of caution, Forester struts on an impreza kill cv axles and rides like a brick. At least this is the case on my 95 impreza with 07 Forester XT struts/springs.

[@JG-bg6hy]

I have a 2001 Subaru Outback and I was to lift it, I’m planning on getting bigger tires and strut spacers but that will only get me an additional 2-4 inches. I WANT MORE LIFT what should I do

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

Even with bigger lifts your driveline will only ever be lifted 2 inches higher, so you can only improve ground clearance further by adding larger tyres. The body lift I have only gives me better approach/departure angles. I recommend a 2" lift and some slightly larger tyres. This will get you most places, and you'll have a blast doing so.

[@jerardorojas7164]

So do you have to do all this for a 2" or 2.5" lift?

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

jerardo rojas no, 2/2.5” is just strut top and trailing arm spacers. The driveline drop with the 4” lift is what takes so much effort

jerardo rojas well your cheapest option is to enter my lift giveaway, head over to my channel and you will find that there. (Closes this Friday) Otherwise a 2” lift from subieliftoz is my recommendation. Realistically you don’t want to cheap out on a lift so that’s why I recommend a quality lift

[@NateW-ve4do]

Why do u need to drain coolant n unplug battery and fuel linw and anything inside the engine for installing a lift kit is all that really in the way to install coilovers

[@ignitionoffroad5028]

@@NateW-ve4do because it is a driveline drop, and the engine is physically lowered from the chassis, coolant lines and steering shafts all have to be extended. You can lift a Subaru around 2 inches with spacers or offroad coilovers before needing the body spacers.
