Hi! Does this ironman kit affect the performance of the engine, transmission, differential? Causing an excessive wear of any of the components? Excellent video!!
We have not had any customers complain about either of these issues. Larger tires could certainly put more strain on a transmission so CVT issues could be a higher potential. We haven't noticed any issues or received any complaints about how the cars drive after modifications though!

This was awesome.. been lookin to do the same for my 2021 Forester sport with the iron 4x4 lift but I'd go with black Methods instead of the bronze or maybe Black Rhino Sand Storm or Fuji or the Sparco Terra SE, plus also install the Rally Innovations rally light bar and Primitive Racing 3 piece under armor build for the start.. haha
We aim the headlights, make any necessary adjustments to alignment and drive train components. The safety systems are not affected, and unfortunately there is no way to recalibrate the speedometer
Sorry we didn't have that in the description - 17x8 +38 with 245/65R17. Some minor trimming was required but obviously nothing major was cut or removed.
You can order from ironman4x4america.com/ but as for having it installed, you'll need to locate a shop near you that you trust to do the work. There's also Anderson Design & Fabrication in Sandy, OR if that's closer to you. Not sure they do any installations, but no doubt they'd know some shops in the region. Their site is awdadventure.com/
Hahaha hardly my guy! A touch stiffer, but you've got more sidewall now cushioning the ride too. It changes the dynamic for sure, but it's a far cry from even a modern 1 ton ride
Looks great! I'm thinking of doing the same thing to my 21 Forester sport. If I just put spacers in to lift my Forester, is there any downside to that? Or is putting in a whole new strut system the safest way to go?
Strut spacers are a great option because they do not alter the ride other than to raise the center of gravity slightly. Check out some of the options from Anderson Design Fabrication - www.awdadventure.com. They do not allow for more suspension travel, nor to the stiffen the ride (note that a 'preload spacer' will stiffen the ride somewhat). Most full strut replacement lifts will alter suspension travel and ride characteristics. Your goals and how you drive the vehicle on and off pavement will determine what choice is best for you. Often times too with older vehicles people make the choice of a full strut kit if theirs are due for replacement anyway.
@@MountZionOffroad I live in South Florida and love the Offroad look but I do not want to sacrifice my ride quality too much. I'll look into this option, thank you!
You can call it what you want to... We used the Ironman 2" ATS Suspension Lift Kit #SUB007KG. Full strut replacements front and rear with a sub frame drop in the rear. The same customer brought us his brand new Outback Wilderness to install the same kit a few months later.
Hi!
Does this ironman kit affect the performance of the engine, transmission, differential? Causing an excessive wear of any of the components?
Excellent video!!
Planning to that to my 2024 Forester. Do you have discount code?
Were there any modifications other than the lift that had to be done to fit those tires?
does any of this affect the CVT?
Looking to lift and add tires to my 2019 Forester. Have been reading alot about CV joint failures and CVT problems
We have not had any customers complain about either of these issues. Larger tires could certainly put more strain on a transmission so CVT issues could be a higher potential. We haven't noticed any issues or received any complaints about how the cars drive after modifications though!
i love it too except please please take a side view pic before the video is over tks
Do you need to recalibrate the Eye Sight function since you're changing the whole ride height?
No we did not
Method are good rims but the 502 is a 💩 rim, should be 701 rallye rim in matte black. the 245-65-17 is the wrong size tyre!!
Why is it the wrong tire size?
@@BaldKiwi117 its too wide 225-65-17 is exactly right for a 17" wheel.
thats the exact car my wife has. you guys got me leaning towards the ironman lift now. thanks for the video!
Right on!
When is Subaru going to bring back its excellent Forester model? Forester Turbo XT!
Hi I have a 2024 Forester limited trim. Will the stock height be able to fit this tire and wheel setup?
How expensive was this build?

What’s the name of the song used? Sounds amazing
Thanks! The song is Archipelagos by Blue Steel, licensed through Epidemic Sound
@@MountZionOffroad thank you !
Very nice build, did you have rubbing issues with those tires? If so, what was your solution? Remove the wheel house liners?
minor rubbing and trim required

Good start! Have them check mine out! ❤
Awesome build. How’d you handle the full size spare? Thx
we did not change the spare tire
Do the 245/65 tires rub? Was there any trimming involved with the fender. I’m lifting my new forester soon and just want to get the tire size right
Read through the comments - it’s mentioned a couple of times.

So, did you recalibrate the speedometer, saftey systems, aim headlights, adjust drive train components....?
We aim the headlights, make any necessary adjustments to alignment and drive train components. The safety systems are not affected, and unfortunately there is no way to recalibrate the speedometer
how far off is it(+/- the speedometer) with this mod?@@MountZionOffroad
how much is a lift kit/project like this cost?
give us a call or shoot us an email info@mountzionoffroad.com or 717-308-1844 we'd be happy to discuss your project and give you an accurate quote
What was the wheel/trye size. And was there any rubbing?

Taking a great vehicle to new heights. Nicely done. Wish you guys were here in NE Ohio. Would love to see what could be done to my 16 forester
Thanks for the compliment! If there's anything we can do to help you from here, let us know--NE Ohio isn't impossibly far away
Здравствуйте! Я с Казахстана, очень хочу такой комплект от Iron man- подарите пожалуйста 🎉
The ride is now like an old fashion 1 ton truck .
Hahaha hardly my guy! A touch stiffer, but you've got more sidewall now cushioning the ride too. It changes the dynamic for sure, but it's a far cry from even a modern 1 ton ride
@@MountZionOffroad okay. I have seen desert rally racing trucks perform / tuned very well.
What load did they have on the coil overs
Do you mean preload? Or spring rate?
Hey I love the build, super sick. I have a question, will those size wheels fit on my 2015 Subaru forester?
Looks great! I'm thinking of doing the same thing to my 21 Forester sport.
If I just put spacers in to lift my Forester, is there any downside to that? Or is putting in a whole new strut system the safest way to go?
