    I have a 32 on for tires, I cant go much more without a body mount chop and that sketches me out a little bit or a front bumper and a high caster uca.

    Don’t be a cmc ain’t bad if you can weld and the ucas won’t touch the bumper but to wide of a tire or improper size spec wheel it might rub the tire.
    you could run a tall and skinny tire sizes are 255/80/17 or 255/85/16

    You don’t list your location but there are a lot of good vendors east and west coast. Buying sliders and skids close to home will save you hundreds in shipping if you pick them up. My experience larger (heavier) tires was as much (or more) a MPG killer as armor.

    Bump stops are not needed since the OEM Kings are a direct stock replacement.

    I have mine at a 2.5” and don’t need bump stops. I did replace the read bump stops but I also did a ubolt flip.

    You can overland in a stock Subaru so I recommend choosing a suspension for the type of terrain and driving you do.

    I am leaning more towards doing it with abs and going for ext travel on the front shocks. Does it stay the same in this case or is the king just a better option because of this and does the same go for the king ext travel? thanks for the help

    Extended travel only gives you an extra 1/2" by removing a washer thing inside. It's not significant. King and ADS are both quality, King is just more proven

    yea, I just don't like the color and higher pricing of the king, i am adding some bronze to my car and the ads look much better than the bright blue

    Kings arent that much more expensive. I purchased my King 2.5s w/ RR all 4 corners for around $2100
