The Subaru Forester has been around since 1998 and has not slowed down in popularity. In fact, the Forester still sells over 10k units a month in the USA. With its widespread success, a huge demand for lift kit options has developed.
There are options available up to 4.5 and maybe 6 inches. However, a 2″ kit is usually easier to find and offers enough clearance for bigger tires without creating drive-train or suspension geometry issues.
Fortunately for us, there are lift kit options available for each chassis.
