Ground clearance runs out quickly on a stock Forester once you hit rutted forestry roads, and a spacer lift leaves the original dampers short on travel. The Bilstein B8 TerraSport Lift Kit raises the Forester with purpose-built dampers that have a longer body and a higher spring perch, roughly 1.5 to 1.75 inches up front and 1.25 to 1.6 inches in the rear depending on year. You keep your factory springs and top mounts, and every kit includes four dampers plus the brackets and hardware Bilstein specifies for that generation. Kits cover the 2009-2013, 2014-2017, 2018, 2019-2021 and 2022-2024 Forester, and Bilstein lists the 2018 model as a single-year fitment with its own rear shock. Alignment stays within factory spec, which keeps tire wear in check through a Canadian winter. Ships Canada-wide from Flat 4 Offroad in Calgary.
