2020 Rav4 XLE - Eibach Pro-Lift Springs question - Eibach reply post #3

Update - Eibach as well as another shop confirmed mu suspisions.

We want to lift our stock 2020 RAV4 XLE a bit. After some research, it looked like Eibach Pro-Lift Springs (front & rear) was the way to to. Spring have been purchased.

The shop called and said it would only lift the rear because of the Strut Assembly, so it would be nose forward unless we added spacers on the front (don't want) and we would also need Camber Bolts. This doesn't sound correct. I trust my shop and have for years, but don't believe they do a lot of aftermarket mods and upgrades, especially customer provided. Based on some videos, most just slap them on, it raises it up on all 4 corners, no other mods needed (besides an alignment).

I will be contacting Eibach (update, post 3) as well as another shop.

Just wondering if anyone has any insight or thoughts on this?

Something sounds odd, kit appears to lift the front as well in everything I have seen. Lifted/longer springs lift....so I dont understand why a spacer for front would be needed. Those longer springs would work just like they do on a truck. There are spacer lifts available, just like for Tundra, but its an either or....cant see the need for spacer if the spring is doing the lifting. There could be some other part needed, sub frame spacer or such? Call to Eibach would clear up your questions.

Thanks @frichco228

That's what I (and son) thought. I understand a bolt or washer etc may be needed, but the shop would normally have stock or at least easy access.

I have reached out to Eibach (see below) as well as a more "customs" shop in town (also see below).

Bruce,
The Pro Lift kit E30-82-088-01-22 will lift your 2020 Toyota Rav4 approximately 1.7" in the front and 1.6" in the rear. There are no other modifications required for the installation. An alignment would be required after the install and from what we have seen on our installs is the vehicle will still align to factory specs.

- Team Eibach

Hello Bruce,

No there should be no other parts needed.
