This is a 3" lift overall, 2" top hat spacers and 1" raised springs. It looks like the Crosstrek Wilderness will be roughly 1" taller than a non Wilderness.
I have the lift kit from Ironman4x4 on my car already and like it a lot but must say this is a very nice kit as well. Good job. Philip please let us know how you like it once ya have a chance to run around a little bit with it :)
You guys should do a video showing the install of the toe arms as well. If you did, you could remake this video from the ground up, showing the install of the oval subframe spacers and the circular subframe spacers with the oem spacers. Maybe a quick explanation of each part, how it works, why it's important for off-roading, etc. Sorry for the novel, love y'all's kit on my ride!
I really appreciate the quality and the look also! Purchased your 2” lift kit for my 2016 Impreza! I love the subie’s, I just wanted a little lift like the crosstrek has! The Impreza has long chin in front and hits everything, really! Anyway, not looking for any off road, just a little clearance! I spoke over the phone with a technician over my concerns on premature where. I was explained that, 2” and under would be ok! Just wondered if anyone has looked into crosstrek axles on a impreza to solve any possible future issues? From what I have researched they are practically the same except for 3” more clearance, which 1” seems to be achieved from a taller tire size! Just wondering what your thoughts on this, if any! Thanks again for offering a choice for a lift and great quality, Larry
When doing the lift did you experience toe issues or camber issues? The following is what I did on install: Rallitek Endlinks front/rear Drop kit Springs 1" Crawford Puck spacers Rear LCA Wilderness Front LCA Bilstein b6 shocks/struts It has a .2+ toe in rear and .2+ camber after alignment but not sure if this is just my new norm. These are down on both from 1.2 by the way. I did not get the trailing arm but am most likely going to do so pretty soon to fix the toe.
We design all of our components around factory alignment specs. We design our parts to work with factory components and our supporting suspension components. We do not test our parts in conjunction with other brands like Crawford (Crawford top hat spacer or Puck space is possibly the issue if they do not have proper camber caster correction designed into the part.). If the toe is out trailing arms would be advised. Camber can be corrected with rear adjustable control arms as featured in the video and front camber with camber bolts or a top hat spacer that has camber engineered into its design. Rallitek top hat spacers greater than 1.5-inch lift have camber and caster correction in the front to meet Subaru alignment specifications.
I bet those Bilsteins are incredible, I think I prefer this setup than the Ironman 4x4 that I keep seeing I don't know about raising it even higher though
These Bilsteins are amazing, this is the best OFF-ROAD and on-road suspension you can buy, as of right now. This is a far superior set-up to Ironman. We have tested it in-house against all of the various options and competitors. The comfort on and off-road is amazing at both low and High-speed compliance. The Bilstines B6 truly are amazing, the Springs are made here in the USA of the highest grade spring steel on the market, zinc-coated primer etched before being powder coated and it comes with a lifetime warranty.
Nice work! @RalliTek, I got some of your gear on my car already too...got these LCA's and trailing arms in red or black? I'd be interested in giving it a go.
At what point should you consider swapping out the adjustable arms and links from the OEM? When the lift is more than 2"? I'm considering a 1" strut spacer and the 1" lifted spring for the OEM struts to get approx. 1.5-2" of lift. I'd like to avoid having to swap the arms, otherwise I might as well settle for the 1.5" spacers seeing they are designed to maintain the factory specs.
We do have it as a package deal, check out the link below! www.rallitek.com/adventure-offroad-kits/11484-2018-crosstrek-adventure-off-road-package.html
We offer several kits with different part combos for different needs off-road and Overlanding needs. Best to message support@rallitek with your order of # and they confirm which kit you ordered. This will allow us to clarify any questions you have.
I've got your anti sag springs on my 21 trek, and a 1.5 ADF SPACER/SUBFRAME LIFT getting a clunking from my right front stock strut, are the subaru oem struts not strong enough to handle the extra spring rate? I only have 15k on the car but subaru won't honor the warranty due to lift and springs, just curious if this is a common issue with oem struts? we are light duty offroad just fwi.
We design our Rallitek springs to work with the OEM strut, all design, and initial testing is done on brand new OEM struts. Most of our spring rates are a 12-20 % increase on the fronts and our rears can range from 12-30% increase for overload and increased towing stability. We have several customers with over 80k miles on the OEM strut with our Rallitek springs. Our company 2018 Outback has 44k on the OEM struts and Rallitek spring combo with several aggressive off-road trips. We have customers reporting back with over 120k miles on original OEM struts and Rallitek spring combo. A hard impact bottoming out or repeated hard hits to the strut can and will cause premature failure, this is the most common cause for the strut to fail. The Rallitek springs can in many cases help this from happening, because the increased spring rate will help resist the hard impacts that can cause the strut to bottom out, with possible damage.
On another presenter’s video, a DIY installer discovered that he’d allowed the axle to pull partly out laterally, and this caused a clunking issue in their case. Axle had to be rebuilt and reinstalled properly. Also in that case the suspension components had been tightened down in the air (while on jackstands) which is contrary to best practice, as that binds components into a position that is faulty; does not reflect correct orientation for real life driving/loading-bolts should instead be fully tightened and torqued only after lowering vehicle fully, then cycling suspension. (weight/unweight, or roll vehicle back and forth dynamically to cause activation of springs/shocks…………..A good alignment shop will know to loosen said bolts on the alignment table to achieve this. RalliTEK’s video here, he was working on an alignment table…but I didn’t see him use actual alignment instruments/software? He didn’t mark the top eccentric bolt head to conserve OEM camber when disassembling rear…but I don’t know if that matters if he is going to have lifted car get a full alignment asap? I’m not a suspension tech-just doing initial casual research before selecting to lift a 2011 Outback for ‘softroading’ use; needing to compensate for increased camping gear weight …
To some degree, Yes. Changing axle angle and increasing load on bearing increases wear. This argument can be made for any type of off-roading. The nature of rough roads, driving over rocks and obstacles in the mud dirt, and or snow can increase wear in comparison to hyw driving and basic urban driving. Best thing is to buy high-quality components and maintain good alignment and maintenance practices when building an adventure rig. No one likes to be stranded.
They were stacked because the kit that he had on it before this install did not use the factory subframe spacers and he did not have them to reinstall.
We opted to not do that as it adds roughly 0.5" of ride height and we wanted to verify fitment of our 1" overload springs that we will be releasing soon
@@rallitek_official How did you align the front, and what can be done about the flex of the front arm bushings? I have essentially the same lift and can't get the front aligned (2"ADF space with 1" Mann springs)
@@sonnyhernandez8333 What are your alignment specs at, Camber/Caster/Toe front left and right? I can't speak to ADF lift spacer kit specs, but our 2-inch camber and caster built into the 2-inch lift spacer for alignment correction. With an aftermarket front camber bolt, you can fine-tune the camber and get things in alignment according to Subaru's specifications. It will be on the fringes of the specs but will be acceptable /correct.
@@rallitek_official The ADF lift adjust for camber but only for 2 inches, I've got the 1" spring lift as well. I haven't got it aligned yet so I don't have the numbers but it's really cambered. What brand aftermarket camber bolt did you use also do the trailing arms adjust rear caster to center the wheel back in the wheel well.
@@sonnyhernandez8333, It sounds like the factory Camber bolt in the front may not be clocked correctly. We use SPC or Proflex camber bolts but Eibach and Whitline are great as well it is a pretty universal part all based on the diameter of the lobe in MM. Caster is another factor often overlooked, our kit has a caster built into the correction on the lift plate you will need this for a correct alignment. You won't know until you get alignment, as we don't know what ADF has for camber correction built into their lifts. Our Rallitek kit offers significant Camber and caster correction. Not all 2-inch lift spacers are engineered the same.
I watched this from start to finish. And i don’t even have a crosstrek
Not sure why this video was suggested to me, but I really appreciate the attention to detail and explanation throughout the whole video.
Thanks you guys for working with my son! It looks awesome!! Great quality parts!
So, this puts you a 1/2 inch above the proposed/rumored height increase of the 2023 models! Very Cool!!

As far as we've been able to tell the Crosstrek axles are no different than the ones for the Impreza.
Looks good!
Soooo good!
I have 2 inch lift kit fom primitive suspention with king springs .it looks awesome.

Any videos on this build??
If I do this myself, going from stock, do I need 2 sets of sub frame spacers?
Nice work! @RalliTek, I got some of your gear on my car already too...got these LCA's and trailing arms in red or black? I'd be interested in giving it a go.
Thank you! Our control arms only come in RalliTEK Blue but we have had some customers paint them different colors after they purchased them.
Wish I could find bilsteins for my forester. And impreza
How much is this complete kit. Today.
Any chance you guys will be producing the trailing arms for an SJ forester?
They are in the works right now actually.
Cool video, quality suspension parts.

We recommend definitely doing adjustable arms if your planning on lifting the vehicle over 2.5". Whats the year and model of Subaru you are lifting?
This Crosstrek runs without rear sway bar?
Is this going to be offered as a package deal and would these same parts used on my 18' crosstrek?

by lifting the car will there be pre-mature wear on the axles or diffs?
To some degree, Yes. Changing axle angle and increasing load on bearing increases wear. This argument can be made for any type of off-roading.

Can you clarify why the factory subframe spacers were removed?
How many subframe spacers can you stack in total?
There are no factory, you add them
In the rear to allow for proper alignment
They were stacked because the kit that he had on it before this install did not use the factory subframe spacers and he did not have them to reinstall.
Why didn’t you invert the arms for greater clearance?
We opted to not do that as it adds roughly 0.5" of ride height and we wanted to verify fitment of our 1" overload springs that we will be releasing soon
Would this setup work with a 22 Outback Wilderness?
No, the Outback Wilderness struts and springs are different. We have overload rear springs, 3/4 inch lift.
