In full disclosure, you should make readers aware of modifications to new Subaru products along with informing them of where to go to obtain vehicle lift kits. Subaru of America, due to Eyesight configurations will not be liable for any malfunction or could potentially void the warranty on any "lifted" Subaru with Eyesight which this 2020 Outback XT and all 2020 Outbacks and Foresters have as standard equipment..

Here is the official statement form Subaru of America...

"Subaru vehicles are designed to ensure that they meet or exceed federal and state regulations for safety, emissions, fuel economy, vehicle classification and other requirements. Aftermarket modifications can compromise compliance with those regulations and alter the intended design in a way that could compromise the safety or performance of the vehicle.
As our vehicles become more advanced, these modifications can affect driver assistance systems such as EyeSight and RAB. For example, an EyeSight vehicle cannot be recalibrated after it has been lifted. Even simple modifications such as changing the tires or wheels can impact these new systems. And even in the absence of advanced driver assistance technology, these seemingly simple modifications may result in inaccurate odometer and fuel economy readings, or an impact on vehicle braking and handling.
Modifications may also jeopardize coverage for repairs under the Subaru Limited Warranty.
Subaru recognizes that some customers desire personalization, so we offer a selection of optional accessory parts designed and tested to ensure that they do not affect regulatory compliance, vehicle safety, performance or overall design criteria.
Modifications other than with approved Subaru accessories are not endorsed or recommended by SOA. Retailers should refrain from performing unauthorized modifications, such as installing larger tires and/or wheels, completing performance modifications to the drivetrain or suspension, changing cloth seat covers to leather, or other such modifications. If a customer insists on such a modification, SOA recommends that the retailer decline to perform it and notify the customer that such a modification might compromise warranty coverage, as well as the overall safety, quality, durability, and performance of the vehicle.
If a retailer discovers such modifications during normal servicing, it should be noted on the repair order with an indication that it could affect the warranty coverage and vehicle integrity.
