    dang! 30" tires under a forester XT......I want :yumyum:

    14" of ground clearance is a full inch more than I had under the rear diff of my blue lifted wagon.

    please do! especially of any subframe blocks. no way could they just lengthen the suspension enough to fit 30s without doing some sort of body lift too to ease axle angles.

    Were the "Subaru Genuine Accessories" going to damage the "Sport Mesh Grille"?

    The older Foresters fit about 27.5" before running into the rear spring perch. 14" isn't bad at all, but that should be pretty doable (at least close to) with a lift and King springs. That'd be about 6.5" over stock on a 4" lift. I've seen mention of a 5" and 6" lift, but I don't think any have ever made it past prototyping.

    King Springs + 2" Scorpion lift:

    10.2" under tranny, 11.8" under rear diff.

    Not sure how the 09s fair or if anything is available in terms of lift kits yet.
