Lifted Subaru Outback

2023 Subaru Solterra ground clearance

The Subaru Outback is a favorite among drivers in the Watsovnille region because of its unique blend of practicality and upscale features that are readily available. The Subaru Outback offers a lot, both on and off-road, with features like Subaru Symmetrical AWD, STARLINK multimedia system, and even Subaru EyeSight®.

It features an industry-standard 8.7 inches of ground clearance. However, because the Subaru BOXER engine sits entirely in front of the axles, it does somewhat restrict the Subaru approach angle. Consequently, a lifted Subaru Outback might be a better option if you want to benefit from increased off-road capability and ground clearance (not to mention added style)!

Why Consider a Subaru Outback Lift Kit?

Why should you consider buying a Subaru Outback lift kit? The main benefits for Santa Cruz drivers include:

  • Improved Off-Road Capability: Lifting your Outback will give you better off-road capability, including more stability and articulation, as well as a higher ride height to clear obstacles.
  • Ability to Install Bigger Tires/Wheels: A lift kit raises the height of your Outback, allowing you to install bigger tires/wheels.
  • Improved Rugged Appearance: Are you merely trying to make a statement on the streets of Monterey? A Subaru Outback lift kit could be it!

Subaru Lift Kit Options

There are variations in the capabilities of lifted Subaru Outback models. This is because there are many options available when it comes to lifting a vehicle. A few of the most popular lift kit varieties are listed below. Make sure to confirm that the service center you are interested in is appropriate for your specific Subaru Outback by calling Santa Cruz Subaru!

Body Lift Kit

This kind of lift kit, which is primarily used for cosmetic purposes, is reasonably priced and offers the following advantages:

  • An additional 1-3 inches of space between the Subaru Outback body and frame
  • Wheel and suspension specs stay the same

Coil Spring Spacers/Budget Boost

A budget boost, like a body lift kit, is primarily cosmetic and only slightly alters the suspension. It offers these benefits:

  • Spacers are put on top of your Subaru Outback coil springs
  • You should experience around 1.5-2 inches of lift
  • Ride quality stays roughly the same
  • You can likely add new tires to your Subaru with this type of lift kit

Coil Lift Kit

An excellent option for off-roaders with the following features:

  • 2-3.5 inches of suspension lift are added with a coil lift kit thanks to the addition of larger coil springs
  • You should experience increased articulation

Short Arm Lift Kit

In contrast to other lift kit types, short-arm lift kits necessitate significant suspension adjustments. Additionally, they provide coil spring lift features:

  • Between 2-6 inches of lift thanks to longer front and rear coil arms
  • Bigger sway bar links and shocks
  • Even more ground clearance

Long Arm Lift Kit

Long arm lift kits are great for serious off-road enthusiasts, but it is best to leave the installation of these kits to the experts like our service center team. It offers the following:

  • Necessitates welding and fabrication during installation
  • Long control arms mounted farther back on the vehicle’s frame towards the rear — can sometimes get caught on rocks but seriously improve off-road performance overall
  • Better suspension angles are to be expected
  • Extreme articulation and crawling abilities are usually provided
  • An additional 3-6.5 inches of lift is to be expected
