Just picked up Subaru Ascent and looking to do some upgrades for mild adventures as it will have to be my DD. It comes stock with 10 inches of clearance and I have found a 2 inch lift for it. Looking for advice and locations. Thanks in advance

Congrats on the Subaru. How are you enjoying a vehicle of that size for overlanding and trails? I drive a 2001 Subaru Forester

I personally love my ascent, not as capable as some other Subarus based on size and lack of upgrades like some other Subarus, but it can handle its own. Stock falken tires are trash. But the CVT it uses can handle more than most other CVTs on the market.
LP adventure gives you most any upgrade available on the others in soobies' lineup. and it's plenty capable. Replace the tires, add a bit of lift and undergarment protection ;-), and you will be able to go all over the place.
