I spoke to Everet today and have decided to go with his UPYOURKIA 4" susp lift kit. It consists of front spring spacers, front sway extensions, rear TJ (wrangler) springs, rear bump stops & rear shock bushings for the RAV4 shocks that I will purchase on my own. I will be posting before, during & after pics to show the process. I must say, Everet's pricing is very reasonable and those of you who haven't done so should really look into this!

Just got a e-mail from FedEx, Santa is on his way with my upyourkia lift kit!! If all goes well, should have it in this weekend. I'll post some pics of the process, hopefully no blood involved!

yea everet has real quick shipping took two days to get here from cali..and im on the east coast. took me a long time to get the lift in tho..almost 5 hours. then again i had a happy hammer friend and had to take a few trips for new nuts and bolts...do yourself a favor and replace them all when u do the lift..the nuts will strip

So what is that, roughly a couple hours per side in the front,the rears should be easy as hell. My original thought was that it should take me somewhere between a 6 pack and a half rack to complete!!

The rear ones are pretty fast and easy going in, the front ones can be a real pita getting everything back together. I ended up tearing a boot on one of the front halfaxles and still need to repair that.

Got my upyourkia 4" lift kit today plus needed shocks & struts. Now I have to find time to tear it apart and get dirty!! I'll post some picks and comments about my experience with the process.
Thanks Everet
