Choosing between a 2 inch lift kit and 3 inch lift kit depends on your tire size goals and how you use your Subaru Outback:
[card]
2 Inch Lift Kit
Great for daily driving with improved ground clearance. A 2 inch suspension lift is a common choice when you want better capability without going too tall.
[/card]
[card]
3 Inch Lift Kit
Supports larger tires and more aggressive builds; may require additional alignment correction parts depending on platform.

Pro tip: Always plan for an alignment after installation.
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.

Most praise easy installation (5-6 hours) and increased ground clearance. Some reported quality issues including bent parts, misthreaded bolts, and driveline vibration. A few experienced alignment challenges and CVT wobble requiring additional parts.
Handles and corners great. Seems to ride smoother than stock suspension.

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

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 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 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!

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.

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.

Be subframe bolts that came
"Be subframe bolts that came with the kit for my 2017 Subaru Outback 2. 5i were too short. The installer had to go to a specialty hardware store to get longer bolts to complete the installation. They charged me an additional 1 hour of labor at $200 an hour plus the cost of the bolts. I assume that if this was a Crosstrek the bolts would have been fine."

Terrible Terrible Terrible
"Hello, I ordered a lift kit for my 2024 Subaru outback on 8/13/2026. I called about 2 weeks ago because some part were on back order, and was told that these parts were scheduled to arrive on 9/20/2026. I called today and spoke to Jay (terrible customer service), and was told that these parts are being pushed back again and won’t actually come in until 10/30/2026. When i got to the website and try to order again today, it says that these parts are estimated to arrive by 10/6/2026. Who do I believe? In addition to, I truly would appreciate if you can invest more in customer service training. Jay was pushing all the blame of the delay on somebody else. He was not able to provide me with any guidance or help regarding this order. Thank you!"

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."

Q&A
Would this fit outback BR 2013 model? I really like the kit
Kurniadi, Sorry to report that it would not work for your vehicle. Our kits are listed for as wide of fitment as is possible. Look at Rallitek or Anderson Design and Fabrication for support for older Subarus. Best - Ironman4x4
I have a 2024 OBW, I bought the spec C and my front left is making a metal clunking sound along with the camber is off on both sides. The camber and toe is off on the back as well. I had an alignment done and it is still off. Suggestions on how to fix?
Your alignment should not be "off" after being done. Here are some tips for the ship to get it into spec unless there is some other root cause. With the vehicle on the alignment rack loosen the lower suspension components. Move the vehicle front and back and bounce the vehicle. Have the technician align the rear end first and then move to the front of the vehicle. Cheers - Ironman4x4
Is there a lift for the 2017 impreza sport wagon
Jeffrey, Thanks for reaching out. We do not offer a lift for the Impreza platform. Cheers - Ironman 4x4 America
Will this fit a 2015 crosstrek ?
