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!
