  The control arm will be the limit of down travel for sure. I've got a whole series of videos showing a significant increase in suspension travel with suspension versus spacer lifts measuring on the same car back to back. I've had 7 or 8 lifts on the car at this point. Ride quality definitely increases with a suspension lift for off road trails. Spacer lifts are fine for what they are. I have a Subaru with an 8" spacer lift. The oil pan is the same distance from the ground as factory. If that's what someone wants more power to them.

  @@bruceyyyyy I think I've seen your SG before! Yes, you will definitely gain up travel. But I think the way that people envisioned a suspension lift on their Subaru is that it will turn it into some kind of Baja buggy or something 😅 While there's technically more up travel, every Subaru I've trailed with that's running LTC's has had only marginal gains in traction in the rocks or moguls etc. Has that also been your experience or is it a driver error thing? I think some people should consider a suspension lift. But the amount of negativity that I've been hearing lately towards spacer lifts is blown way out of proportion to the point where people who should realistically be running them are scared away from it for no reason.

  It's the age-old debate between IFS and a solid front axle. When I was a salesperson at a CJDR store, at the launch of the JL Wrangler, FCA told us that a head designer recommended switching to IFS, and they were fired immediately from the project. It just doesn't allow for the easiest modification and limits overall travel. IFS does give one great advantage, and that is ride quality/stability. That is why we are offroading in Subarus. We can do awesome trails (more trails than most Wrangler owners who never go offroad), we can go drive around the canyons a little faster, and don't have to worry about death wobble going down the highway. Pucks/spacers are for sure the most affordable way to lift any vehicle and perfect for some that just wants to stuff a bigger tire under their vehicle. Mopar actually used to carry puck spacers for the Renegades and were shown off at SEMA. So don't feel bad about spending a little less on the suspension. Feel good about spending a little more on recovery, a nice wheel and tire combo, and/or skidplates.

  @@LiftedImports7 I am planning to do whatever my car is capable of doing! So I don’t want to limit myself. I’m putting the idea of a lift on hold right now but want to do something with the tires. I was out a few days ago on a rough dry dirt road. My car kept slipping, even in X mode, on something that didn’t look very tough. Good thing I had my traction boards. That made me think about getting a more aggressive tire. In another one of your videos you talked about 235/65r17 for a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness. So I am thinking of that size. How different are they from the stock size? Do I need new wheels for that size tire? Thinking of going with the Wildpeaks. Your thoughts?

• 
  @LiftedImports77 күн бұрын

  @@Livingthegoodlife9000 the 235/65 is going to be roughly 1.5 inches taller in overall diameter. It would be a relatively large step up and I would do a small lift in conjunction with those tires if it was my car. But those should fit on your stock 17's:) jumping up to that size will certainly create a less responsive on-pavement experience and drop your mpg. Which may or may not be of concern to you. I personally don't mind it but I'm also not like most people😅 The wild peak is a great tire. But there are multiple versions. There's the AT Trail which will likely be less aggressive than your current tire. I have seen many of them fail at the sidewalls while on the trails. Then you'll have the at3w which is likely going to be completely replaced by the new at4w - both of which will be a bit more aggressive than your yokohama geolandars and i think they're great for the price. Do you use Instagram or anything? If you have photos or video of where you got stuck I may be able to offer more insight. It could be as simple as airing down a bit or a basic driving technique adjustment.

  I have had my tire deflating/inflating setup for a while, and it is a must-have just like recovery gear when wheeling. All I use is an ARB E-Z deflator (exact one in the video) and then a Smittybilt Battery Terminal Air Compressor. I replaced the analog gauge with a Jaco digital gauge (also had to get a Thor's lighting digital adapter) and replaced the bag with a cheap large tool bag from harbor freight. You don't even realize how impactful even just taking 10 psi out of your tires can be for comfort and capability until you try to skip that step.

  Biggest mistake folks make on their Subaru offroad builds is thinking taller/wider tires give you more capability. You'd be surprised of what you can do with OEM size tires by just airing down. Sadly, if you spent more money on wheels than you did on tires, you're doing it wrong. Also, fancy metal valve stems and extended lugs won't do you any favors as well.

  About to pull the trigger on some Method VT spec 501s. Not as many people run them compared to the 502s and they keep the factory offset. Keeping it as close to stock spacing and increasing capability is what my build is all about. Most likely going to wrap it with Falken Wildpeak A/T trails. Loved the atw3 on my Gladiator before getting Ridge Grapplers, and was surprised how well they kept up with even some MT tires. Now, I am hoping the A/T trail can do the same thing and keep up with the "true" A/T tires as well as keeping weight down and not losing handling characteristics.

  Loveeee the 501's!! My friend is running them on his WRX hatch🥵 The AT Trail will help retain a lot of the factory handling etc. I have helped repair a lot of them in the trail. The sidewalls let go pretty easy. But as long as you stay out of the crazy stuff and carry a spare, should be fine!

  @LiftedImports7 Exactly why I got a roof basket, can carry the full-size spare and some recovery gear while everything inside stays nice and dry. I'm going to make sure to use it in the tire rotation so I don't have to worry about uneven wear.

  They need to be lighter some of these wheels are heavy you and d load tires that’s putting a lot weight on the system! Wheel companies are getting lazy!!! More for looks than functional!

  I disagree. The majority of these wheels are relatively light and the last two options are absurdly light for a non forged wheel. But I do agree. I regularly encourage people to select the lightest duty tire for their Subaru that will still do the job. That's one of the biggest killers of power and fuel economy. Not to mention the wear and tear implications.

  Give you example I had a mass produced 18 inch Forged TSW Wheels on my RAV4 they were about 18-19 lbs! Even TSW quite making them!! By the way your information is some of the best out there on Subarus! Thanks for doing the Videos

  I've got a 2024 Outback Wilderness and am so torn on the best wheel choice for all the reasons you stated. I contemplated the ultra lights having some road race experience but wasn't sure it would work. Being that I'm in Florida but plan some northern Mountain trails, I think I can get away with the light wheels... although mud happens so there's that. Thanks for the video and the food for thought.

  @@larrylocklar5351 you're one of the few people that understands the value in forged wheels. Most people will just buy the cheapest wheel possible for the looks instead of quality. That may be why wheel companies are making less of them now💔 I appreciate the kind words! What kind of Subaru do you have?

  @@gage1428 honestly, I say go for it! Unless you're doing something specifically harsh all the time, a lightweight "tuner" wheel should be just fine. I'd love to see pics of the car when you're done with it! Is it lifted over stock obw height?
