Brands offering Toyota Rav4 lift kits
Leveling kits and spacers are typically represented by 1.5-2.5″ tall metal extensions that go on top of your struts or coil springs. The kits usually come with all necessary hardware and instructions required for DIY installation. So let’s look at the most popular solutions available on the market today.
LP Aventure Lift Kit 1.5″
The LP Aventure lift kit is the perfect way to improve the look and function of your Toyota RAV4. The kit includes spacers, subframe supports, springs, and trailing arm spacers, all made from high-quality materials for maximum durability. The top plate spacers are made from 304 stainless steel and are TIG welded for superior strength. The aluminum-engineered subframe and springs are machined from high quality aluminum blocks using a CNC machine for precise fitment. This lift kit will give your RAV4 increased ground clearance and a more rugged appearance. With the height of 1.5″ it’s not too big to affect the handling and suspension of your crossover, yet gives some improvement over the stock ground clearance.

Will this kit be right for me?
Of course, it wouldn’t be possible to give you a direct answer, because no one knows your needs and requirements better than you. I’ve prepared a couple of questions that will help you to find the answer to this question.
Function
– Think about your needs and plans for the next year or two.
– What places do you want to visit?
– Google what roads would lead you there
– What’s the terrain like on those roads?
– Do you really need a serious suspension lift to make it there and back safely?
– What if it’s raining?
Looks
– What would you like your rig to look like? The visual appeal of your rig is important too.
– What wheel size do you like in terms of the looks (wide, upsize)?
– What lift is need to put them on?
Budget
– What’s your budget?
– Will you have anything left after you invest in a complex full-suspension lift kit?
Keep in mind, you would need a lot of other stuff to prepare for the off-road trip of your dream too. Wheels, accessories, recovery, and camping gear.
Conclussion
Basic 2″ leveling kit with strut spacers will work for the majority of the Rev4 owners looking to start exploring off-road terrains. The good news is that these kits are pretty affordable and relatively easy to install. Any local body shop will be able to get them installed for you in case if you don’t like to turn wrenches. If you do, on the other hand – it will be a pretty cool DIY project that wouldn’t take more than one day to perform.
Keep in mind, you don’t need an extensively modified rig to enjoy off-roading. Do the basic preparation, install proper off-road tires, and a spacer lift kit, and you’re ready to go!
