Today, I received my lift kit from Priusoffroad and also received my non-oem strut/spring assembly from Amazon. Taking the car to a mechanic friend next weekend. I will update all once its done. Simba Lift kit I have no idea if these below will work or not but the car already has 300K miles.
Id think MPG would not improve . Engineers developed the Gen2 for peak MPG but your lift and tires do make real world use more care free in a big way . I come to see the Prius has a purpose and when using I am mindful that its not up for situations other cars just drive over .For what you need you did a NICE JOB
1. It got done - - sorry no pictures. 2. A rod of some sort broke ("rust") while he was working on it and a 'new' replacement cost $50. He charged me $250 labor so total cost $300. I was happy to pay it. A few years ago he had replaced my AC Compressor and had only charged me $100 labor. 3. I took my Family for a 200 Mile ride after I got the car back - -lift kit and new struts/springs. Amazing ride feel and no regrets. Simba
I have the same tires in my Walmart Cart: Total price is $332 just for the tires and tax. Installation is extra. I have to make sure Walmart will install these in my lifted 2009 Prius. What is your long term review of these tires? Still happy or do you wish you had gone for other tires? Thanks in advance.
I put 9k miles on the new tires/lift blocks driving coast to coast last November the tires are fantastic and I'm glad I did the upgrade. The only issue I had was the passenger CV axle touches the A arm when the car is jacked up due to the 40mm block. It is absolutely no problem when the car is lowered everything clears like 3 inches. If and the CV joint ever needs replaced you will need a set of spring compressors to get it out but they are cheap on Amazon.
