Hey everyone, I’ve got an exciting update for you today on my Iron Man lift and subframe drop.
After driving around for a few days and getting the suspension aligned, I’ve remeasured and noticed some changes in the height.
Up front, I’ve gained half an inch, bringing me to 13 inches. In the rear, I’ve gained a full inch, now measuring at a solid 14 inches.
Interestingly, the subframe drop has given the rear a bit more height, resulting in a slight rake. This is perfect if you plan on carrying gear or towing, as it will help keep the vehicle level.
On the road, the Iron Man suspension has been a revelation. It absorbs bumps with the smoothness of air, yet handles like a dream, providing a comfortable ride without sacrificing responsiveness.
Body roll is a thing of the past, and I’ve noticed a remarkable improvement in cornering stability.
Another unexpected benefit of the subframe drop is the elimination of transmission stutter. I believe this is due to the improved geometry of the rear suspension, which has reduced stress on the transmission mount.
In terms of ground clearance, I’ve measured 11.25 inches at the front skid plate and 10.5 inches at the rear differential. These measurements represent the lowest points on the vehicle.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with the Iron Man lift and subframe drop. The materials are top-notch, the ride is exceptional, and the long-term benefits for my suspension components are undeniable.
If you’re considering a lift for your Subaru, I highly recommend checking out Iron Man. It’s a fantastic upgrade that will enhance your driving experience both on and off-road.
