IM INSTALLING THE NEW 69-59210 KIT ON A 2024 TODAY AND USING THIS VIDEO FOR REFERENCE. THANKS!
Hope that the video will help you.
Very good video. Wish all tutorials were like this.
Thanks again.
Thank you!
Thank you this is the best most informative video I have watched for this. Very much appreciated.
Thank you. I'm glad it was informative.
Thanks, now I know what bolts to check.
man that installation looks easy! good work!!!
Thank you!
It was pretty easy. Its nice to work on newer cars though
You’re super talented Drew!!! ☺️
Thank you very much.
I know it's not a popular demand but hope to see oem factory running board install. Didn't find any decent installation video on youtube.
Next time I get a set, I will make a video.
@@shoptimewithdrew Would be great for many potential Rav4 owners who have kids or elders or simply for looks.

Thank you!
i just bought a 2019 rav4 i want to do this with mine. lol now to only find a trusted mechanic like you
Thank you! There are a lot of good ones out there, but like you said, you just have to find them.
You make it look so easy. Lol
Nice Video Drew!
Would you mind to shared your experience with that lift kit on the rav4? It seems that there is a lot of people complaining about issues with noises and vibration at low speed or when go on the gas a little to hard from stop.
Thanks!
Thank you! I have not heard of any issues with the lift. They did have an issue with bump steer in the beginning, but they updated the kit to address that issue.
@@shoptimewithdrew This is great! Does this work on 2024 adventure/trail models?
This will fit a 2024.
What's the best all terrain/weather tires for this lift.. good for water and snow also?
Falken makes a pretty good tire for the Rav 4.
wish someday got install on my trd rav4🙌
It makes them look pretty good.
My xreas crapped out on me last week, on my 4th gen runner.
It took me 8 hours to change it out I’m not a mechanic though, and I didn’t have a car hoist. Just jacks and jack stands
Nice you, swap it for bilstein shocks.
@@shoptimewithdrew unfortunately do to money constraints I had to just get some Monroe shocks. But hopefully they will at least last a year so I can save up for some better ones.
I gotta do my cv axles and a front right seal,
I had to change out my rear output shaft seal and companion flange seal on my transfer case also.
Definitely saving money by doing the work myself this time.
Right on, you can save a lot of money doing it yourself.
@@shoptimewithdrew less headaches getting a pro to do it though, But good things to learn and have under my belt.
Nice video. I'm not doing a big lift like that. I'm just going to put a 1-in front spacer and replace the torsion bar end links.
But I would like to add a 1/2-in spacer to the rear.
Do you know who makes just a 1/2-in spacer? I can probably just use a coil compressor manually pull down that coil and put the spacer in without dropping any subframe. Thank you!
I'm not sure of a kit with a 1in spacer for the rear.
Thanks for the response. I know they're out there. I've seen them on other kits. I know Subaru has mild leveling kits. But I already did the front spacer so it's not a radical difference. It is pretty level. I just think that if I ever loaded up I might have a little tail drag. But I'm probably just going to wait until the new Bilstein terra sport shocks and struts come out for this model year. Thank you
great video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Miss your videos have a question 2005 Toyota sequoia limited which window motor will enter change with the hatch window motor mine is missing
Do you need the part number for the rear hatch window motor?
Part number would be most helpful thank you
The rear window motor has been updated, and you have to buy a new back door ecu with it.
New motor: 85710-0C120
ECU: 89222-0C050
REGULATOR: G9850-0C090
OLD MOTOR: 85710-0C070
Drew again thank you so much for taking the time and looking up part number up I tried online licking it up but not very good at it obviously didn't have no luck thank you so much deeply appreciated
You're welcome. I hope to start making videos again soon. I have been doing a home addition and have been really busy.
wow that is affordable, though on the top strut in front show four bolts on lift shows 3 bolts? also toyota jersey is this toyota dealer? this can take a day or couple days to complete - where are you located
Strut has only 3 nuts that you need to take off on the top. The center nut does not get removed.
Hey drew, whats your thoughts on this lift would you recommend this type of lift or the other popular option of just changing out the springs? thx
I think this is a good quality lift. I think this lift will accommodate anything you would want to do in your rav 4.
Thanks drew, Followed your video and it took me about 5 hours with jack stands and floor jacks. Those sway bar links were tricky. I noticed that on the left front the bolts for the lower strut mount were reversed (Head and nut) is there a reason for that?
Do you have the specs for the tork on the rear cradle bolts?
Is the alignment completly nesasary after this install? I did not remove the tire rods.
Thanks for your video it was a great guide for me. Really appriciate it.
Thanks for the comments. The front strut bolts can go in either way, but from the factory, they are facing different directions. I'm not sure the reason.
For the torque, I would have to look it up. I want to say it was around 90ft lbs.
I recommend an alignment because you are changing all the angles.
How does your rav drive since install. Bought my kit. I'm installing it in a few weeks.
@@MsAce0424 shakes between 18 and 22 mph
Where dit you put your spare tire with same size you put on your car?? It will fit on tire compartment??
We just keep the standard spare.
Just got a 2024 Rav4 Hybrid Limited wanting to but a 2 or 2.5 inch lift front and back, preferably coilover lift vs spacers what are some good brands that you guys know of ? I've heard of Ironman 4x4 and they offer 2inch lift front and back but I don't see a 2.5 inch coilover lift kit anywhere for a 2024 rav 4 hybrid limited
You may need to look for one for a 22 or 23. The suspension is the same, and you may not find a coil over style lift it may be a new coil and shock setup, and none adjustable.
I see your Toyota uniform. Are you installing this kit at the dealership? And can my local dealership install this for me too?
Yes, we installed this kit at my dealership. Your local dealership should be able to install this kit.
Does this have different alignment specs with the lift kit? Cuz I don’t think the hunter alignment machine gives an option for cars with lift kits.
If I remember correctly, the instructions have alignment specs, but really, there is only a front and rear toe adjustment. You can slightly adjust the camber with front shock towers.
Hello after installing it wheels need alignment and wheel balancing??
You will need an alignment after the lift, and if you install wheels and tires, they will need balanced.

Did you change the camber bolt kit in front? what size is it??
What size is it??
No, I used the stock bolts, and the alignment came out fine.
You will need a 22mm socket to remove the bolt.
Does alignment gets rid of the positive camber after installing this kit?
You will still have the same amount of adjustment for the camber as when stock hight.
Will this fit on a 2022 Toyota 4x4 rav4? (Japanese spec here)
Yes
Aren't spacers really bad for the rav4 ? arent coilover lifts better?
Spacers are not bad for the rav4. Coil and shock lifts are superior.
Are these the same tires before and after? 235/55 I’m assuming? I replaced my tires before realizing I want to lift my Rav and now I’ve got buyer’s remorse 😔
They were slightly bigger. I don't remember the exact size.
Que medidas neumatico puedo usar al instalar éste sistema? Saludos desde Chile
exelente trabajo. nesecito un kit de levante de 2" como lo consigo.
Мы сможем тебе изготовить
Добрый день. Мне изготовьте.
How much it is for the kit and installation?
If you run it through a dealer, you are looking at 1,500 to 2,000 installed. I have an amazon link in the description for the kit. Then you could install it yourself or have help from a friend and save some money.
Does mpg drop with this lift kit?
Depending on tire choice. The lift won't change the MPG.
It’s easy if you know what your doing otherwise you create your own train wreck,😮all parts torque to ;specs)
It's definitely not a first-time DIY project.
What running boards are those?
They are factory running boards. I think this is part number PZQ44-42121.
@@shoptimewithdrew thanks!
I wish the spacers were alloy aluminum as opposed to plastic
У нас есть лифт комплект из алюминиевого сплава
That’s why a spring change may be all I need every lift kit I’ve seen so far for the RAV 4 XLE hybrid all the kits have plastic spacers if you can’t get with aluminum iam just changing to slightly bigger springs just so I can get a 2 and half inch lift
What does that lift kit cost ? Excluding labor.
If you go to the Amazon link in the description, it is on sale right now.
Why not do 2inches one both ends?
It is a level lift that gets it setting higher and more level.
When on dead stop and accelerate 18mph to 28mph i experience shimmy or vibration any one knows or suggestions what was the problem??
What kind of car?
@@shoptimewithdrew rav4 2020 XLE AWD
I looked and didn't see any common issues for a rav 4 vibration at lower speeds. If you are doing a normal driving slow acceleration, it is possibly a torque converter shudder. Torque converter shudders are usually felt at normal acceleration between 18mph and 35mph. If there is an issue.
Did you ever figure this out..mine is currently doing this
Did the original struts have cam bolts? I also have a 21 XLE. I just bought these. Im grabbing cam bolts in case the rav doesn't have them. Once you lift 2 in up.. it angles things. Cam needs adjusted along with the caster and toe. I've had toyotas in the past that could only adjust toe and caster. If i wanted to fix camber, i needed the cam kit. Just like dude who lower cars and their cam sets the upper part of the tire in.. rasing it does the opposite. Might be just enough out. I guess i will find out myself and i of course will have it aligned. Im hearing 50/50 about vibration on ALL lift kits with the 5th gen. The only thing making sense is either people arent aligning them, getting longer stab links or getting cam bolt if there arent any.
69-520 baby!
Messing with Toyota geometry engineering is not advisable
I can't stand videos like this. Take the annoying BS music off and show what you're doing WHILE you're doing it and instruct as you're doing it instead of that speeding up crap.
