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."

Very noticeable visually and rides
"Very noticeable visually and rides good on and off the road. Like most of the reviews the lift added about 3inches. I also swapped my front sway bar end links over to Ralitek adjustable links."

"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."

I just wanna share my
"I just wanna share my experience. On my left front driver side. I feel something i lil bit knock noise. Or squeezing rubber. But still im observing my shocks."
— Leo A. (4/5)
Great shocks and even better support
"I bought these shocks in late 2021 and have driven them hard (20k+ miles per year, lots of dirt roads in the PNW). They handle great on uneven terrain and feel more solid than OEM struts on the road. Nothing bad to say about how they function, I've been very happy with them. After several years and 75k miles, the lower bushing of the rear shocks were imploding and causing some clunk noise. In my mind this is a pretty reasonable lifespan for rubber bushings on a hard-driven car, so I wrote to Ironman to see if I could purchase new bushings to press in. They said no but instead they sent me a replacement pair of rear shocks free of charge! Even better yet, the replacements appear to have polyurethane instead of rubber bushings which tells me they've improved the design since I purchased these. Will definitely buy more stuff from these folks in the future. Great products and great people to work with"

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"
— Joshua G. (5/5)
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!"

Q&A
Hi, Could you tell me the total shipping weight for PART NUMBER: SUB007KG. I'm also curious if the US warranty can be used with an Ironman dealer in Mexico. Thank you.
Carlos, That kit is about 100lbs in total. It usually comes in 2 boxes one 55lbs and one 45lbs. Cheers - Ironman4x4 Cheers - Logan
It says 2019+ will this work on a 2018?
Delso, The years given are the only vehicles this product will work for. Cheers - Ironman 4x4
I am going to be putting a Warn semi hidden bumper and Warn Axon 55 winch on the front of my Forester. This will weigh about 105-115 lbs, would this cause a lot of front sag with the normal spec kit? Or would Spec C be the better option?
The heavy load kit would be a better option and support the additional weight! (Recommending Spec C in the front)
If upon purchasing a 2023 forester wilderness, I add the medium load lift kit, is there a restriction on which I can increase the tire size to? For example, if I wanted to add some truck tires, do you have a recommended size up the tires should be to coincide with the medium lift kit for best performance? Thank you!
225-65-17 would be a good tire size to go with, There are some BFG k02's in that size of fallen AT3W!
Will this fit a 2020 Subaru forester sport ?
yes it will!
