Medium load gives you the most versatile driving experience. We almost always recommend medium load for vehicles that are occasionally loaded on the weekends but are driven daily without weight during the week. This gives your vehicle the most comfortable and practical ride for most types of off-roaders.
Spec-C Heavy Load
Spec-C Heavy load will allow you to carry extra weight when loaded AT ALL TIMES. We recommend this option only for vehicles that are constantly loaded with the listed additional payload weight all the time. If not, your vehicle will be a stiff and uncomfortable ride.
Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer’s stated Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM). Exceeding the GVM can compromise vehicle safety, performance, and handling, and may void the manufacturer’s warranty. Always consult your vehicle’s owner manual or manufacturer for the correct GVM specifications before loading your vehicle. Use all equipment and accessories responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Reviews
Excellent Performance, Disappointing Seal Failure
"I’ve been very happy with my Ironman 4x4 suspension coilovers overall. They have performed well both on and off the road, with great ride quality and handling, which is why this issue was disappointing to discover. Recently, I noticed oil leaking from the shock bodies, which appears to be caused by a failing shock seal. To verify that it wasn’t just residual oil or debris, I thoroughly cleaned the shock bodies and continued driving the vehicle. After additional use, fresh oil was once again visible running down the shocks, confirming that the leak is ongoing. Up until this point, I’ve been very satisfied with the product and have recommended Ironman 4x4 to others based on my experience. I’m hopeful this is simply an isolated manufacturing defect and that Ironman 4x4 will stand behind its warranty. I look forward to a quick and straightforward resolution so I can get back to enjoying the suspension with the same confidence I’ve had since installing it."

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 2” lift safe for daily driving in a Subaru Crosstrek?
Yes, when it’s a complete, vehicle-specific suspension system like the IRONMAN 4X4 2" ATS kit. IRONMAN 4X4 positions this kit to deliver improved ride quality, greater stability, and better driving dynamics without compromising safety and comfort, making it well-suited for everyday driving as well as weekend adventure use. A 2" lift keeps the Subaru Crosstrek within factory specifications to increase performance while maintaining OEM reliability.
What tire size can I run with a 2” lift on a Crosstrek?
For this 2" lift setup, the recommended tire size is 225/65R15 with matching wheel specs designed for proper fitment and clearance. This setup helps maintain the intended stance while supporting the lift kit’s balance of daily-driver comfort and added off-road capability.
