    What’s goin on everybody? Today I am excited to show you a new product from Readylift Suspensions SST lineup of lift kits. SST stands for smart suspension technology and these lift options give you a few inches of lift without modifying brake lines, wire harnesses, suspension components. However, I am installing a lift kit on a vehicle it wasn’t designed for. After reviewing the installation instructions for new generation RAV4, years 2013-2018, I believe that this kit will work on the previous 4.3 generation which encompasses years 2006-2012. I reached out to ready lift with my idea, and they immediately took interest, and sent me a lift kit for free. Now I’m going to walk you through the installation.

    I do know that some thread lock doesn't allow it to lock completely and be more like anti-seized. Yes, anti-seized is pretty messy, but at least you know that you won't struggle that hard when access it again. I'm pretty spoiled with power tools and my dad always tell me to hand tightened at when bolts and nuts are snug.

  • @thomasgraham5842
    @thomasgraham5842 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a cool tip right from the get go , sorry but i have to say this , when releasing wheel nuts , instead of pulling upwords and risk hurting youre back , put the wheel brace on the other side of the nut and simply stand on it , you will find it much much easier to get them off . when you pull up on them that pressure is transferd to youre body , i always try to work smart not hard ..... plus a sore back is a great way to find easy ways to do things .

      Yes, but a 1 inch bigger tire will only give you 1/2 inches of clearance
