Lift a 2003-2008 Forester much past 2 inches and the CV axles start running at steep angles, which shows up as vibration under acceleration and shorter axle life over long Canadian highway drives. The HRG Offroad 1" Subframe Kit lowers the whole drivetrain by 1 in. (25 mm) so the axles run flatter and the suspension can take more lift. The kit includes front and rear subframe spacers, engine spacers, trailing arm spacers, transmission cross brace spacers, differential support beam bracket spacers and exhaust hangers, with extended grade 10.9 hardware. It suits the X, XS and XT trims of the second-generation Forester and pairs with HRG lift spacers. Expect 3 to 4 hours of install time. Canada-wide shipping and support from Flat 4 Offroad in Calgary.
