Search is your friend. And one thread per question is ample.
Lift kit:
http://www.ausubaru.com/index.php?pageid=liftkits
King Springs for raised or HD springs
Sump guards from Subaxtreme, Crossbred (haven't heard much about them), or make your own. Subaxtreme do bullbars too (note that their 2003-2005 bar can be used on 2006 models with minor fiddling).
Larger wheels are available from wheel shops in sizes up to about 22". If you're offroading, stick with 16s and get some decent tyres.
OffroadSubarus has a few members with lifted late model Forries.
Dane.

Thanks Dane. Sorry I'm a bit new to this. Thanks for the link. I called Subaru xtreme and they could not help with much. Apparently changed hands don't do lift kits anymore, can't help me with bbar either. Would really love to talk to someone with some knowledge or know how on the 06 forester model. I will keep searching. Thanks again
