Rav 4 suspension lift
« on: March 26, 2006, 14:59:48 »
I would like to lift my Rav4 a little and upgrade the shocks to cope better with the land I use it on and have seen lots of kits, but want your advice what would be the best way to achieve this without changing the vehicle, so no nasty remarks please...not too worried about the cost factor, also would the car benefit from a bush change to polyurethane.

Is this the kind of thing you're after?

In which case it should be just a simple case of installing longer/stronger springs and shocks. You'll then be able to fit a slightly larger tyre- that's what will give you more ground clearance.

You can probably order the OME stuff here:
