You did a fantastic job with both videos. The attention to detail was very helpful. I am getting ready to install the Readylift version and I couldn’t find a video for that particular brand but I’m sure there won’t be much difference in the install. Thanks
Great setup! The rims match the size and offset of the original equipment manufacturer's specifications. Have you observed a decrease in fuel efficiency with these larger tires? I'm considering using the same lift kit, but opting for these tires and utilizing my original rims to save on costs for my 2017 Toyota Highlander XLE.
The kit includes rear spacers and front spacers. Everything you need to lift your car. The only thing I bought separately were the sway bar links. Traxda includes some but went with my own.
I just got this kit for my ‘17. The website has a link to instructions for the highlander, but it loads up for the Sienna. I guess the install is the same? Do you have written installation instructions you can provide?
These are the instructions I got with the lift kit. Sienna and Highlander should be the same drive.google.com/file/d/1zZCGiscdWMho1BzVNz4burPOlYGtfadg/view?usp=sharing
Did your lift kit come with the swaybar end link mounts for the front? If not you might want to contact Traxda. I confirmed with them that these mounts are required and you should also replace the front end links with the shorter, supplied end links that came with the kit. If not your factory length swaybar end link may fail.
@@chrisvazquez6106 no I was told the set (one pair) that came in the kit worked with the new front swaybar end link mounts. I believe they are the same length as the stock rear links so it didnt make sense to replace like for like. That is why I reached out to Traxda for clarification.
@@paulbarton7567 Paul. Just reached to TRAXDA. I was informed that only one set is included. The new set goes on the back and the existing set goes on the front. That extra piece we were talking about actually mounts to the bottom of the control arm. I’ll shoot video this weekend. The instructions for the installation say nothing about swapping sway bar links or where that piece goes.
I put the kit on mine this weekend. Noticed the links for the rear were the same length and wondered what to do with the sway bar end links. I looked at every lift Traxda makes and was unable to find any that had the end link. Interested to see the install and fix. I was at the end of my rope trying to find info online and about to contact Traxda also.
@@chrishulsey7243 Chris. I contacted TRAXDA today. They said the supplied links go on the front. You’ll have to remove the long link. That extra mount you have actually attaches to the bottom of the control arm and to the link. The instructions supplied do not mention any of this.

Hi Carlos. Do you need a set of front adjustable sway bar end links. Because there is a brand called ReadyLift that seems to have an knocking issue with the struts being rubbed when you make a run on the front end? If it needs a set of extended adjustable sway bar end links, do you have a link to it so I can buy?our Thanks
Correct. TRAXDA sends a set of short sway bar links along and adapter you need to install. This prevents that knocking sound you are referring to. Check out my channel, there is a third video describing the adapter and links.
Hey buddy question for you, are those tires rub before you installed the lift??? I’m planning on adding some all terrain tires on mine so far without a lift yet
Chris, I just got mine and I am kinda lost because they did not put any instructions. There are 2 small pieces that I don’t know where it belongs. I did not see in your video where you installed them. Can you be kind enough to guide me please? Thank you Sir!
Hey bro it's been a few months since you've done this installation. How's your tie, rods and the rest of the suspension looking? Is the lift Rough on the ride?
Hi Tony. It is my daily commuter and I have not have any problems with it. I do feel a slight wobble when I take off around 30-40 miles but goes away after 5 seconds. I think my brakes my need to be checked. Other than that, no problems. Everything has been great.

Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for uploading this video!
What steps did you take for trimming for the tire size? Was it just removing the mud flaps?
My wife owns a 2019 Highlander. We would love to lift it as well. Do you have any pictures of it completed?

Paul,
Did you get 2 sets of sway bar links? One set for front one for back?

@@jamessena1410 thanks man. I appreciate that. Just trying to make it easier for everyone else.

Yes. Tire without lift will rub. Maybe a smaller size will clear
