After watching your video, I ordered a set for my Rav 4 Trail. Used the company website to determine Kit #. Completed installation. Was surprised to see the bags weren’t the full height of the coil spring, as illustrated on the company website (photo of bag inside a coil). Went back and watched your video again, and can see yours aren’t full height either. You think this is proper fit? Curious.
I think so. I am actually running them in my Eibach Springs now, so there's even more space. Seems like the bags not allowing the spring to bow/compress as easily when inflated is what prevents the sag with smaller loads, and with heavier loads the coils with compress enough to where the bags are making contact at the top and bottom
I’m having a way harder time pushing the bags in. I’ve attempted 4 times already. I would love for them to go in that easy. But it’s like trying to put a wooden log in there.
@@eltumbleweed05 Ok, so I couldn't get it into a hot dog shape. Once I put it in the oven for 5 minutes at 160 degrees it became more pliable. I manage to get one in. Once my busted knuckles recover, I'm going for the other one. Yeah, this definitely isn't easy, lol.
Just bought a 24 RAV4 SE. It is the most terrible ride I have driven. Had 2 previous Toyota and other brand. None like this RAV4, it's so bumpy and loud when driving over rough roads and bumps. Will this Airlift helps it?
Probably not. The SE is the "sport" edition and has different suspension components which are geared more towards performance than comfort. Different shocks might help with the ride, maybe some sound deadening material in the back for the loudness?
I don't think they changed the rear suspension yet on the rav's, so you should be good. You can always cross refrence part numbers if you have any doubts
Could you tell me what size the mesh you got for the tube is? Also, do you carry an air compressor with you? I’ve been debating getting one since I’m installing the kit this weekend.
@@eltumbleweed05 I installed the Airlift kit on my RAV4 yesterday. They are really squeaky! Do you have the same problem? If so, do you have any tips to resolve it? If not, I have to assume that it’s because I have aftermarket eibach springs on my vehicle.
Thanks! So I had them in my garage from a previous project, but they are just flush mounted led cubes I painted. Here is more info on the paint etc www.rav4world.com/threads/color-match-in-a-can-blue-flame.308892/#post-2812192
@@eltumbleweed05 Good to hear. I'm on the fence between bags or springs. I rarely need the extra lift in the rear, but when I do, I do. Leaning towards bags due to the infrequency I'll need them, but I know I'd never have to worry about progressive springs leaking.
@@eltumbleweed05 Right, less sag is the goal, not really "lift". My hitch mounted cargo rack sits pretty low since the hitch itself is already below the bumper.

It is not easy. Are you spraying with soapy water? the soapier the better

I have 2022 xle rav4 and i want to put this one on stock spring do you think it will be fine?

@@eltumbleweed05thank you. I already installed mine. when it’s loaded how many psi do you put?
@@MichaelFrancisco-y7r I have it at whatever the max is
Where do you run the air line? Is it on top of the muffler? Thank
I ran them over the heat shield of the muffler
Any videos or how-to on how u did those rear bumper reverse lights?
I did them when I removed the bumper to Raptor Line it. I didn’t do a how to unfortunately

1/4". I do but haven't used it for the airbags. I pretty much keep them maxed out all the time
@@eltumbleweed05 Thanks bro, appreciate the video and info

@@potatogoestocollege I haven’t heard them really. What psi are you running?
@@potatogoestocollegedo they still squeak or did you find a solution?
Where’d you get those rear bumper lights, nice RAV

Is that for the trail edition
Not specifically. It fits all 5th Gen RAVs
Do you have a link to the braided line?
a.co/d/4fro9Vu
It’s just a decorative sleeve, not SS
How are these holding up for you?
So far so good! I am wanting to do a lift, so if I go the Eibach Spring route idk if they will work

@@kc9fjb I keep them fully inflated all the time. Idk that i would say it "lifts" like springs do, but def makes sag less when loaded down
@@eltumbleweed05 Right, less sag is the goal, not really "lift". My hitch mounted cargo rack sits pretty low since the hitch itself is already below the bumper.
Link where you purchased the kit?
I can't remember where I bought them, but the part number is 60842
