I have a 2005 Impreza Outback Sport that used to a commuter. It was passed on to both my daughters to learn to drive and has a new engine now. Thinking of making it mine again since neither daughter wanted it, but would want to put a lift on it. I am a bigger guy and being low to the ground is no longer fun, plus with my personal camping and hunting activities a lift would be even further functional.
The idea of this even being possible is new to me so it is sort of information overload for me right now. I have seen some YouTube videos where people have made a switch to Forester strut towers, but these are all on different year models. I also see a few custom shops that offer machined lift spacer kits. Would like information from any enthusiast that has actually done a lift on a Subaru, my model year preferred. Just trying to weigh my options and chose the best for what I would like to accomplish. I have experience working on vehicles, but almost entirely on older trucks with carbureted engines and spring suspensions. So my knowledge on newer cars and their systems is rudimentary. Thank you in advance for your opinion and help
