Bed covers for the Baja are very rare and basically all discontinued.

Still makes the ticking noise at certain RPM when warming up but otherwise runs great.

Suspension is one are I never cheap out on. Go the proven route for peace of mind.

That was my first inclination too but they use a higher spring rate and longer springs to get the lift. I'm concerned it'd ride terribly off road. The rally style seems like it'd be more fun and better riding all around. Just teh company is a bit of an unknown.

How important is reliability for you? If not too much and this is truly a toy and you are using disposable income, try it.

meh, there arent many good options for long travel on a subaru. If you want a lift drop the coin on a Subie lift OZ. or just do 2" spacers on the suspension tops. kings suck and actually give you less travel.

Um isnt Subie Lift OZ just a spacer lift like ADF and Subtle Solutions?

their bigger lift kits include drivetrain drop components too, its a full package, and better built.

Better built how? Also their website shows only Forester lifts available.
