Make	Model	Year	Installation Guide

Installation takes 4-6 hours with helpful video instructions. Some noted communication issues with returns and occasional missing parts/stickers. Off-road performance praised significantly.

Crosstrek feels way better than stock. The ride feels great. Not squishy and not too firm.
The ride is great, and the aerodynamics remain perfect. Honestly, it was the best choice.
Off-road use: much better ride navigating trail. No more getting tossed around.

So far so good! Ride

So far so good! Ride quality is awesome. Excited to see how it performs off rd. Thank you guys for the info needed to put this together. .

Install was pretty straightforward. I

Install was pretty straightforward. I definitely forgot to plan for the exhaust hanging lower which caused some rubbing on the boot. Got some longer hangers and problem was solved. I'm just mad at myself for buying this so fast, I missed that I could've gotten a free air compressor with my order 😅 but oh well Overall a great product! I can feel the improvement in handling and I'm excited to see how it handles when I go camping next week

Provides a great lift. Does not affect handling. Suspension is stiffer. Way better than a top hat lift.

Amazing kit, color instructions and

Amazing kit, color instructions and high quality. The only issue I had was a slow delivery. It took about a month for a product that was in stock. I had to call a few times to check in and just got stories about how Fedex has not come by to pickup the shipment. That part of the experience could be better.

Couldn’t be happier with my

Couldn’t be happier with my decision to go with this lift!!! After just over 100k miles my previous spacer lift with stock suspension was due for an upgrade- not only were noises coming from my strut tops but there was another noise that I had been trying to figure out for quite some time, even the deal ship wasn’t able to identify but on my first test drive after installation, to my surprise all the noises were gone and my car had a new stance and feel- way improved!! My car now feels and performs way better than it did before- on and off road and for the price compared to all other options, it can’t be beat!! Only regret is not going with Ironman sooner!!

Installation was fairly easy if

Installation was fairly easy if you have basic mechanical skills. The video on the Iron Man 4 x 4 site was very helpful. The lift is noticeable and I am getting a lot of positive feedback.

The absolute best

I am definitely satisfied with my purchase. I have a 2024 Crosstrek, and the 2-inch lift kit was more than enough; my car sits much higher than I expected—which I absolutely love. The ride is great, and the aerodynamics remain perfect. Honestly, it was the best choice I could have made. THANK YOU, Ironman 4x4!

Great Price, Amazing Kit

Great kit! Amazing price getting it on sale. Had it professionally installed. Got the C spec suspension and it handles better than ever

2024 CrossTrek Wilderness review.

This is my second Ironman lift I have had on a vehicle. Glad I went with them again for my 24' CT Wilderness. This kit is great. Super easy to install, with basic tools, I did it in my gravel driveway in 6 hours. Install video is very helpful. Just fit larger 30" A/T4w's and there is no rubbing even at full lock and flex.
My rig is normally pretty weighed down, even when I'm not on the trail, so I went with the medium duty on the front, and heavy duty on the back. Feels perfect for my usage. Not stiff at all, but also no visible sag in the rear even when fully loaded for a trip.
Just got back from a 2 night 250 mile overland trip, and the only downside I can report thus far is that because the geometry is now different, all of my sway-bar end links are repeatedly coming loose. So I placed an order for some heavy duty adjustable ones from RalliTek that I think will fix that.

Otherwise, highly recommend if you want to have better clearance, a better look, and amazing performance.

Great improvement to outback wilderness.

Great improvement to outback wilderness. Handles and corners great. Seems to ride smoother than stock suspension. Instilled by professional shop said it took them 5 hours and the alignment was simple.

Love the new look of Subi after putting on the lift. It also drives significantly better. Wish I would have done sooner.

Absolutely love the suspension kit

Absolutely love the suspension kit so far. Install was straight forward but physically demanding, I would bring a friend. After an alignment from the dealer, took it out on some pretty rough terrain and the ride was like butter. Eats washboards and whoops like a champ.

…so far, loving it! Handles great! It is definitely stiffer but it’s worth it to remove that soft butt ‘squish’ coming off of speed humps in calming zones! Very Happy!
