So I guess this is really here nor there, but I had considered keeping track of my most recent trip on here.

Over the summer, from early June thru mid-July, I spent 40-some days making a 7,250 mile loop across the country and back...camping most of the way. I documented most of it on instagram (n8.leonard if you care...), so you're welcome to look.

I've loved Subarus forever, but this new-to-me 2010 Outback has been a dream come true. It's a high (ish) mileage 3.6R, yet it's a complete road warrior.

Here are some highlights...including a little bug netting ingenuity for the nights spent sleeping in the car. Around the Great Lakes, it was a total necessity...haha.

All right a little help is requested. I need to upgrade the front and rear springs in the Outback. A 2" ADF lift already installed and want to get King Standard Rally Springs - Outback 2015-2017, standard ht. These are 20-30% stiffer than stock and should do me just fine. Also an added bonus is another 3/8" of ht :grinning:. I have a good mechanic by me that will install so I am good to go there.

Found them at Rallitek for $220 front pair and $220 rear pair. Anyone know of any other places I can get them?

Primitive enterprises offers springs for most applications.

I'm looking to do the King Springs from Primitive, not sure if I want to do all four or just the rear.
Any suggestions?
Do all 4. The day to day driving will benefit from the weight of the engine/transmission so you won’t need to compensate with weight. As a result the fronts will settle in MUCH faster. Off road you’ll appreciate the better control and, most especially, the increased resistance to dose diving going down hills.

Attn: Mid-Atlantic Subauru(ers?) Is there a thread here on OB, (or any interest in starting a thread) for meet ups, camping or hitting trails? I've been spending some time on the DC/MD/VA meet up thread, but for the most part it seems more like a Taco, 4Runner, Jeep-bro thread. It's not that they're not welcoming, I'm just looking to connect with more Subaru Overlanders.

*I'm going to cross post this to the MTN ROO Mid-Atlantic Facebook page

Thanks guys, looks like I need to save some more money for all 4. Again Thanks
LOL, I came home and found 5 large boxes from amazon and a wife with a surprised look on her face because I caught her with her hand in the cookie jar. So much for my planned winter upgrades. Suspension is now on a temporary hold.
