DIDO Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm new to this site and own a 2013 Outback 3.6R. I tow a small RV (T@B) model Teardrop style trailer. My Subie tows it w/o a problem, but is slightly heavy on the tongue which causes the back of my Subie to sag and does not remain level. I'm having difficulty finding overload springs to handle the problem. RalliTEK (my preferred choice) makes them for 3rd & 4th generation 2000-2009 but not for my 4th generation 2013. Am I out of luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The Overlord springs are made by Rallitech. Did you look at SubaruOutback.org? They are much more active for the 4th gen. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIDO Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 OB2.5XT ... OK I'll do that, thanks for the tip ~ I used to own a 2006 2.5XT ~ awsum runner, but then I upgraded to the 2013 3.6-R because I wanted to tow my Teardrop RV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 King springs too, if they make them for your platform. They are usually pricey though at 250 a pair. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIDO Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 OB2.5XT . . . yes, I checked into them and appears they might be what I'll go with. I sent them an email and got a reply that they to have ~ in stock ~ the springs for my 3.6-R. As always, I appreciate all the combacks, very helpful and I couldn't have found these on my own ~ love this forum! DIDO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really any stiffer in the initial travel. They were longer though. Car sat about an inch higher in the rear with them on.

DIDO Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 HI DOOKIE Done Deal ~ went to Primitive Racing and spoke to Paul: He installed the King Lift Springs and they work great. Can't hardly notice they're a little stiffer ~ actually improved my handling, especially on the curves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dookie Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Did you change anything other than springs? Spacers, struts, their PRSS kit? They have both lift & load springs as I understand it? You went with lift? How much did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
