Got my 2019 2.5i Premium and didn’t delay. Within 3 days of taking it home I had these mods installed:
BF Goodrich KO2s tires (245/65/17)
Montegi MR118 wheels (17”)
Rallitek super raised spring kit
I had wheels/tires installed first. I can confirm that it works and drives fine before installing lift.

I went with the spring lift instead of spacer-only lift because it achieved 2 goals: lift and spring upgrade from OEM.

The lift kit says 1.75” lift in the rear and 1.5” in front. With the tires, the ultimate lift is 2.25” in rear and 2” in front. The tires are 1” larger diameter, but you only get .5” lift from the ground (the top half does not achieve lift).

So far the ride has been smooth and straight. There are a lot of threads and videos online for the DIY install. I highly recommend watching and understanding those before picking up the wrench.

I’m getting a super slight rattle on my rear suspension on the drivers side. Double checked all the bolts and they’re tight. I’m wondering if there’s something ratting in/around the new spring. Anyone had a similar issue?

Here’s a sequenced photo.
