    Would you recommend upgrading tires before a lift? If so, what would you recommend for off roading that will fit the stock Subaru? Will I need to then change to a different tire if I add the lift later? Thanks in advance.

    • @TheCreateOutdoors
      @TheCreateOutdoors 7 днів тому

      You pretty much nailed it. If you plan on getting bigger tires anyway, I recommend the lift first. If you just want to get tires in the same or similar size to stock, then get tires first.

    • @TheCreateOutdoors
      @TheCreateOutdoors Місяць тому

      That's the tire size I run on mine, however being a Forester I already have more ground clearance from factory than your OBS. I have rubbing at full lock and the tire did make contact with the pinch weld for the wheel well, but that was easy enough to heat up and hammer down. You may need some of the other parts I listed in this video to get your alignment back to normal but depending on the shop you get your alignment at they may be able to get it in a good spot. I am running almost 3" of lift, so you may not encounter as much positive camber as I did.

      That would depend on the treadwear of you other tires. If they are fairly new, then changing one tire might be okay. If not, you would have to do all four. Subaru AWD doesn't work well with different worn tires. I would definitely contact your local tire shop about it.

    Fantastic video. Ive put 135k miles on my lifted 2005 X since buying it in 2014. Here’s my take: point of diminishing returns are a thing. I have Tema4x4 30mm front spacers and 40mm rears spacers. I bought a set of trailing arm lowering blocks off Amazon, and this entire combo allowed me to easily fit some 215/70-16 Falken Wildpeaks. Slight rubbing was taken care of by folding the pinch weld up front. THATS IT. under $200 in lift parts and it became exponentially more capable. Still loving it after all these years.
