    US West San Diego Overland Bound Trail Runs

    !! Go on...or is it one of those "you had to have been there" moments. I totally want to meet up, but then I get anxiety when I see that many names signed up for a run. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    ...but it's a Subaru Outback?! Build thread.

    Yep. My '18 is giving me some issues that I'm trying to iron out with the 3” lift. I'm having an alignment shop look things over. I love how some people are super resistant on the idea going over 2” citing premature wear, but are fine when people "send it"... Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    More front end suspension questions. Do you run adjustable front endlinks or just have it disconnected? Trying to figure out some metal clanking sounds I'm encountering when I hit certain bumps. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Did you have issues with getting your front camber in spec? They're having issues even with camber bolts and are thinking of slotting my struts. I'm thinking I should wait until things settle. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Agreed. The improvement in the load shift while braking is worth it alone. I'm all lined up for a total 3" lift (2" spacers plus 1" rallitek springs) for my new 2018 OB. It's all going on next week and I'll report on how it goes. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    ...but it's a Subaru Outback?! Build thread.

    Pretty much @Wawa Skittletits covered it in his response. Right now I'm running 245/65's on my OEM wheels without a lift and don't really plan on getting aftermarket wheels unless I damage them. I'm going back to 3" total lift once the parts get here. My personal asthestics speaking, the...

    I don't remember if I saw this in your thread; did you have to get adjustable LCA's for your rear with that high of a lift?

    Another Subaru Build Thread

    Thanks man. Yeah the Wilco took the main hit, but I got hit hard enough to crumble the cargo area and push my rear suspension forward. Subie did its job, and I just have seatbelt bruises. Good info! I wouldn't want the stiffer rear over the rallitek. I don't believe I got it to settle before...

    Well, I lost my '15 OB in a wreck so now I'm building up a '18. I'm planning to take everything I learned so far and just do it all at the same time. I'm curious, would you just straight up do the King Springs with 2" spacer lift if you were to do it again? My last build has rallitek...

    Yeah I'm guilty of getting d-shackles because they look rugged. Here is a pic of the OEM with a d-shackle. In reality I keep my soft shackle in my recovery bag. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Yeah man. Luke is super cool. My kuat racks have some weird diameter (~1.2 inches) and he did some napkin math and got me some awning mounts that fit perfectly even though they were not off the shelf sized. Even called me when he dropped the mounts off in the mail. Sent from my Pixel using...
