Looks really sweet! Like NoSlushBox4Me said, always great to see other lifted Imprezas. Cool to see 16" 502s as well. Most people get 15" of those, but I think 16" is a better option with more choices for tires. You get any rubbing when turning due to the mudflaps?

Nicely done. I'm into off roading too, but my 2018 Impreza with it's 5" ground clearance, it doesn't do so well. I have heard the dreaded undercarriage scccccccccrrrrrraaaaappppeeee a few times. I save the heavy wheeling for my Tacoma. I think a custom metal plate bumper (maybe with a winch) would suit yours well.

Would you mind posting a few more pictures, some more angles and possibly one with a ground clearance measurement?
I've been looking at going this route with my Limited. I'm kind of sick of bottoming out all the time around town and having to take shoddy roads at a crawl to steer around deep potholes. I'm glad a few people have decided to go with a lift as it helps the rest of us make a more informed decision.

I also have a lifted Impreza and love it. I have a 2" front, 2.5"rear strut spacer kit from Subielift OZ with 215/70/15 tires. I run around the same amount of clearance as a stock Crosstrek. I'll try to remember to pull out a tape measure tonight.

That bumper looks sweet. Wonder if it would be an easy fitment on the Impreza. I see they put a Primitive skid plate on that Crosstrek too.

I have the ADF one inch in front and 1 3/8 inch in rear on my 2018 hatch. 215/65r16 ATs. Haven't bottomed out at all around town. No problem navigating rough dirt roads, washes. I measured from ground to rocker and it's about 8 inch

My 2018 Impreza Hatch is lifted 1 inch in front, 1 3/8 inch in rear with ADF spacers. Running 215/65r16 Falken Wildpeaks. Parked next to a stock Crosstrek I'm slightly lower. Plenty of tire clearance without mud flaps and distance from ground to bottom most part of rocker is a little less than 8.5 inches. No bottoming out around town and performance off road is surprising, to say the least. These aren't the best pics, but the top one is at the top of a steep grade with a sufficient lip at the bottom. No scraping. No problem. Crawled up nice and slow.
