I have a 2018 PHEV and would like to add a lift kit to get a bit more clearance. I am thinking of lifting about 1.6" and going to 225-60R18 all terrain tires to get about another 2 inches. Searching Amazon turns up a number of lift kits consisting primarily of strut and spring spacers. Many options are polyurethane, but all metal is also an option. Does anyone have experience with these and have any stories to tell? Is the metal (aluminum) option worth the extra $40 or so? I talked with one mechanic with experience in such things and he thought the polyurethane would probably be fine for this vehicle... be he hasn't done an Outlander before.
This is the kit I am leaning toward at the moment:
https://www.amazon.com/DEALPAREX-Leveling-Lift-Compatible-Mitsubishi/dp/B0D8476WHS/ref=sr_1_9
For some reason Amazon thinks it is not compatible with my vehicle, but I suspect that is because Amazon has not accurately tracked that the PHEV will also work and has the same (or very similar) suspension. Am I wrong about this? The only kit I see that does indicate "compatible" is less lift (1.2") but otherwise looks to be the same basic design concept.
Thanks for any insights!
