I just lifted my forester with a 1" subtle solutions kit, Hoping to get out at some point and test it out! Your videos have made me aware of areas id never heard of before, and i can't wait to go explore them! keep up the videos man!
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!! Just cuz I love all ur vids. This one is no exception. You rock, Chase. Keep it coming! :) And my guess is that you are going to put on some proper off roading/mud-snow tires. I am excited to see what happens next with the Fozzie.
Not good haha, most aftermarket axles fail much quicker than OEM. I would highly recommend going with OEM axles or if you reallllly need the additional travel (like 2.5in+ lift without subframe spaces) go with some custom Porsche 930 axles. For trailing arm spacers, we can bring a couple of brands in at Flat 4. Send me an email and I can get you a quote!
Can you fit larger tires with these GR Lite coilovers vs stock struts? For example, people say that 235/70R16's will rub/hit on the stock struts of an SG Forester, but these coilovers have a much smaller overall diameter than the stock struts, so will tires like that fit now?
Ay brotha, how’s the gr lite holding up? How do you like them? I’ve seen some concerns with quality control with flatout, any issues? Looking to put them I’m on my crosstrek next
Then engine was replaced around at 250000k. With an engine that just crossed over 200000k. At 360000. So yeah around 300000k on the the engine with no head gasket issues I know of. This engine is the 2.5 shoc version.

Eyyyyyy nice, thank you!! Maybeeeee, you will have to wait and see ;)
Dude this is badass
Thanks man! Can’t wait to test it out on the trail!
What are your thoughts on extended reach cv/axles? And where can I get trailing arm extensions?

Oh yeah, it will depend on your offset though! We have a couple more inches to play with on the inboard side

They are a game changer compared to the stock suspension on rough roads! I haven’t had any issues with mine, and I push them pretty hard haha
Could you set these up for an one inch lift?
Yup for sure!
Is that 300,000 kilometres on the original head gaskets? I really want a manual forester but I'm scared of head gasket issues they are notorious for.

Is this available for an SJ?
They sure are!
You dont need rear trailing arm spacers
If I go any higher with my tire setup (th-cam.com/video/-KWGYW9gepE/w-d-xo.html) I would need them, but as it sits right now I don't
