    Anybody selling their HD rear springs for 3rd gen? Looking to see if there is a bargain on a used product.

    Those who bought it, what are your thoughts? When I load photo/film gear in my car, it squats a lot, I wish to lift it.

    Just a little update. I have installed the HD Springs from Prius Offlander and I'm at 4inch clearance vs 2 og - and with about 900 lbs loaded (including 100 lbs on the hitch with an alu rack) I'm down to 2 inch and the car is riding great.

    Do you have any pictures of the car with them installed? I was thinking about getting these because the roads by us are in complete disrepair and I'm sick of bottoming out the suspension with just my son and I in the car.

    Check these 2 clips from this insta archive.

    I'm not sure these springs will completely solve your problem. You'd probably need to raise the front as well. What I've noticed is that the car is less stable while cornering at high speeds; the car is a bit less stable when unloaded because the nice person sits higher.

    It drives the best when it's loaded as the seller says. Otherwise it's a bit more wobbly - but only when you push it, otherwise you won't notice it.

    900 pounds is just the gear, or gear and occupant(s)? And towing, uhoh.
