So what made you choose the Anderson lift kit over others? more complete? better build quality? Did you install it yourself, or have a shop do it? You spoke towards handling, but what about the ride? The stock set up rides quite smooth.

No problem!
I presently live an hour north of Macungie and was just down there last weekend. I’m quite familiar with Wawa but it’s not from that. It’s an old gen 1 iPhone autocorrect goof up that always made me laugh haha.
At the time I lifted mine there weren’t really any other options. That said ADF is great at what they do and it’s an American based small business which are two areas I look to spend my money. I install everything myself and I mentioned the ride in my first response. Since the springs/dampers are unchanged the ride quality is also unchanged.

Picked up a set of used wheels from an older Forester I think, not too sure. They were plastidipped black, I peeled that off and dipped them graphite sparkle as a color test. We'll be painting them next time they come off the car. Also got a set of 29" (235/70/16) BFG KO2s for a screaming deal. They were "used", someone put them on a Ford Transit, drove home and back and bought something else. Their mistake, my advantage. For the record, the only spot they've rubbed so far is the front mud flaps. They are snug, but I don't foresee any other issues unless we get a ton of mud caked on. A lift is likely in the near future now. Not sure what/how much. These tires will be offroad only really, we still have the Goodyear Assurance triple-tred all seasons.

Also, my wife and I became moderators for MTN ROO WI recently. We will be at Fl4tfest in Madison, WI next weekend if anyone is in the area or is planning on coming. There is a car show, rally x and auto x. Mtn Roo also built an off road obstacle that anyone can run for $10. We have a whole section dedicated to overlanders too. Let me know if you're coming, or look for the car above and say hi!

Nice purchase. If Chevy made an SUV out of the ZR2 platform I'd buy that in a heartbeat. If only the new Blazer were exactly that. But no, it's a glorified Traverse . . . But I digress.
I'm in CA as well and I'm wondering if you've got plans for the Duramax. Any deletes in the future? Chips and tunes? I'm asking because I'd love to hear firsthand about how to do all this while maintaining CA emissions.
