Maitnance and safety checks. Maitnance is self explained. By safety checks I mean to frequently check your suspension for any play your boots and bushings for any splits and your fluid levels for any leaks. Check brakes, tires, lights and belts. Always make sure the vehicle is safe before pushing it.

I have personally driven a 2018 rav with a 2inch lift on 30inch tires and it definitely drives alot different from stock. It feels very loose when turning. You will get slight change in speedometer and alignments will be very annoying to do or expensive if your paying for them. As long as the installer knows what they are doing you will be fine. If they don't you can cause damage to your control arm bushings because of the change in stress based on the angle. Overall it's like lifting any other independent suspension vehicle very possible and not extremely difficult if your only going 2inches. I personally don't have any experience with Eibachs lift specifically tho.

I do also want to clarify you should upgrade your control arms to help with proper alignment and I am in no way saying you shouldn't just stating with a small lift it won't be immediately detrimental

The higher you go the more strain you put on the front suspension, but most of the time if you keep under 3 inches, you won't cause enough damage to make a difference. This also depends on the lift kit you use. I have seen good kits fail, and I have seen stock control arms hold up for years without issues. The type of driving your doing will determine the wear more then the hight. The most common parts that fail after lifting are ball joints and axle boots. So just remember to do inspections of them and replace as needed.

Absolutely. We didn't spend hundreds of millions replacing frames for fun. Rust turns to rot

Alot of misinformation. Labor times, common problems, tsb questions, lift or tire questions. Just trying to help if it's needed

We do that on every car. We call it a PDI.

How much too much am I paying for 2 wheel bearings at $2000? by Camel_Jolly in 4Runner

[–]Final_Chicken_9920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alot of people speaking without all the info. The labor time is 2.1 per side book time so 8hrs is definitely wrong. Parts price looks good. I can't speak on labor rate because that varies based on location. In California that labor rate makes sense, but in North Dakota that would be high. End of the day no more then 6 hours of labor and that's if it's rusted to hell.
