In this video, I show how to install an HRG 2" lift kit on a 2001 Subaru Forester. The procedure shown applies to most Subaru models from this era. I did not realize the camera was pointed toward the ground until I edited the footage, so bear with me on that! I had to improvise quite a bit.
As far as the lift kit giveaway, the contest ends September 14, 2020. Entries are limited to one per person. If multiple guesses are submitted, only the first one will count.

Bummed I’m 3 years late for the lift kit giveaway. Lol I have a olive green 04 forester that is in desperate need of a lift and bigger tires. One day it’s going to happen. Great video. Also appreciate the mechanic honesty. Only thing missing is the throwing of tools 😂
great video. thank you for sharing. i just purchases a 2007 Forester turbo. I LOVE it.
Congrats on the new garage as I Just saw the new video... The front install isn't bad but if I remember he rear is a pain so I'd say 4 hours... I helped a buddy about 6 years ago put a lift on an Impreza... Stay safe... Have a great day...
Any tips for getting the lower bolts for the front strut back in after you put the spacer on? Can't seem to get mine to line up right
2 and a half hours! thanks for the informative video and for the opportunity of the giveaway! i would loveeeee to win a set, giveaway ends just before my bday :) would be an epic bday present!
for damn sure im buying this
Making boring stuff informative and funny! For having lifted my 2004 forester, I would suggest: at least swap your stock springs for some heavy duty springs (they are usually slightly longer 1/2 inch) especially if the plan is to go for some long and serious off road...Also you should stick to touring shock absorbers as it is a well balance combination. Later find some off set rims if you want to have bigger ratio tyres or it will surely rub bad...
Any thoughts on strut spacer lifts vs. spring lifts on a Forester? I'm used to old jeeps (solid axles) instead of independent suspensions and I'm feeling way out of my depth here.
Grate video I have a 1999 i am thinking of doing the same where would I get a good suspension syste
3hr 45min. thanks for the video.
I'm here... Did I make it?! Man I do need a lift.
Wheels not wanting to come off is a standard subaru saftey feature, you know in case you forget the lugs they self-weld
Great video..
any issues with your sway bar end links? Mines snapped so i removed the sway bar altogether but now its a little scary driving over 60 mph
I have a 2000 Subaru Forester and I am looking for a link or a place where I can buy a 2 inch lift kit
Awesome
I need to buy a lift kit spacers for my Subaru Legacy 2015 is to low in the back I need some information please
The biggest question I have is about damaging the CV axles. Putting a lift on the forester without lengthening the axle will strain the joints wouldn’t it?

Lifting any independent suspension vehicle causes additional wear on CV joints whether it’s a Forester or an F150. It’s a compromise you have to make to gain ground clearance under the car. Installing larger tires also causes additional stress on the axles and drivetrain.
Any issues with the CV joints/boots being torn after the height difference?

Yes, with old and cracked boots they will tear easier after the lift. The additional axle angle is a compromise for the additional ground clearance you gain. Best practice is to be sure your axles are in good condition.
Has he answered anyone on where he got that kit from? And if he has.where did he get the kit from?
What tire size did you go with?
I didn't have a problem taking my wheels off to lower mine lol

The inner cv joint can fall apart inside . If this happens you have to remove the axle , remove the inner boot, hopefully the bearings didn't fall apart spilling needles all-over. Use a tie-down to limit how much the axle can move out.
6.5 hours to do the job
About 4:20 man
