[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 270587, member: 7956"] 2 inches is the max in Victoria, maybe look at buying a Patrol or Landcruiser if you want to tackle serious stuff. The forester was designed for light duty work where traction was a issue sometimes. It was never designed as a high flexing serious off roader, but they are capable of some decent things. A locker will get you a lot further than a lift kit will in most cases. I don't know if ARB or TJM or Eaton make one for your model, but I think Uneek 4x4 have one in testing. BTW with CV joints, the further you raise them the more strain you place on them, and the strain is exponential past 1.5 in @2in it's say double @3in it's double again AND you need to extend brake lines and a whole list of crap, the price tag usually means it's cheaper to get an old GQ patrol, put it on club reg and just have that as a play thing.
