Looking for the lift kit shown in the video?
https://www.hrgoffroad.com/2-inch-basic-lift-kit-for-1998-2008-subaru-forester/
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.

thanks for not showing how you mounted the rear strut to the knuckle. this video helped a lot…
Did you manage to kill that tyre?
matic or manual? which is best and reliable?
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?
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
6.5 hours to do the job
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.
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
for damn sure im buying this
What tire size did you go with?
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
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…
great video. thank you for sharing. i just purchases a 2007 Forester turbo. I LOVE it.
Has he answered anyone on where he got that kit from? And if he has.where did he get the kit from?
Where can I get a lift liek that?
5 1/2 hours
I didn't have a problem taking my wheels off to lower mine lol
