Oh Ouch.. Ughh.. ahhhhh... Ok just letting out the screams now. I know there are people here who want to beat me for even thinking of lifting my Forester. I have a 98 Forester and really admire those crazy Aussies and the insanity they do to there vehicles. I know Scorpion Automotive http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~scorpion/
makes a 2 inch body lift and various other equipment for off roading. I can not seem to find a stateside vendor that carries aftermarket Forester goods. Can anyone help here? I'd like to go with a body lift and an aluminum sump guard and possibly the aluminum replacement bumpers for a better approach angle. I don't do extreme off-roading, but I would like the extra assurance. Does anyone know of any other vendors other than Scorpion that make body lifts or lifted springs?

Any info would be greatly appriciated.

Oh yeah also.. Did I not see a Forester forum? Or am I an idiot?

 

no forester forum it was talked about but never happened.

I have a friend who put a three inch lift on a Loyale and he even added a snorkel so he can go bogging. He did it all himself. I'll get details.

 

Some people are really hardcore. This Club here based out of Oregon are at the complete opposite end of the spectrum. http://oregonoffroadsubaruclub.org/ They are not about grace or beauty. They are about the pure utilitarian nature of the Subaru. I have already had my Forester on 2 wheels. An extra 2 inches in body height would give me a great advantage. That info would be greatly appriciated.

 

Wahooo! They are based out of Fullerton California! That's about oh 35 minutes from my house! This means I can actually go down and touch and feel and stroke and carress the parts in person...

I just took another trip up to our local mountains tonight.. It's stormy and snowing like mad, perfect weather to teach the wife how to drive the AWD in the snow, chainless. We hung up on a few high spots in the snowy unplowed areas, but this body lift oughta fix that! I'd like to put the Springs on too, but I'm affraid it will effect the longevity of the CV joints..

Is there a place in this forum that people post Forester related things? Which forum is best?

Thanks so much for the info.
