    Hankook, I think I have another thread where I posted my decision.

    Firestone sidewalls were too loose, they looked like doughnuts, or maybe that's all I could think about.

    I'm pretty happy with them, but keep in mind you will lose mileage.

    Lift kit, oversize tires and a cargo box on a 2500 mile trip and I was averaging 35mpg on the speedo

    you sir... well said! welllll said! so now, the torch you lit created a fire larger than you can imagine!

    this is now the tallest lifted Gen 3 in the USA using a combination of springs to lift and the "lift kit" with spacers. almost hit 12" of ground clearance from the ground to the oil pan. Gen 2 is also lifted on springs on all four corners, and soon a Gen 4 will also have the spring lift.

    My Toyota Prius Lit Kit has 12″ inches of ground clearance

    Thank you so much, Im looking to lift a Prius, Prius 2017. This will help. Would you do roof rack in Cad? If you do, it be great to have them CNC for future mods.

    I think its wild folks would rather not support someone who sparked ideas and mods for them and would rather try and make it on their own...

    At least everyone knows who made this roof rack first and who sparked a company to mimic his ideas and sell them as their own...
