Installed this kit on my 2011 Rav4 V6 (100k miles). Road perfectly before, but after install several symptoms popped up. 1) a loud pop under compression (speed bumps) 2) shudder at 20mph. Both undiagnosable by 3 mechanics so far. This kit is good on paper but be ready to have an extra $1000+ on hand to throw into your suspension after the issues it will cause. No issues with the rear components, but the front is coming off. Not worth it in my opinion.

Ordered this for my 2010 Rav4 V6 4WD. It looks great and drives way smoother than the stock shocks/struts and springs, a total win/win.
I’m running stock 17’’ Limited trim wheels with 245/65/17 Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails. Before install my stock height was:
31 5/8 inches DF, 31 3/4 inches PF, 32 1/4 inches DR, 32 5/8 inches PR.
The new height is :
33 1/4 inches DF, 33 3/8 inches PF, 33 1/8 inches DR, 33 3/8 inches PR.
Overall ground clearance is 9.625” compared to 7.5” stock (+2 1/8 inches). The 245/65/17 tires are also exactly 1” taller than the stock 225s, which contributes .5” overall to that ride height.
