    Oh really? Is it Gen 2 that you can do that? I guess I'll have to dig up that thread(s) and get more clarification.

    What heavy-duty struts would you recommend? I'll want new shocks/struts by the time I get your kit.

    Sadly there isn't a "heavy duty" option available. Fortunately the OEM (KYB) struts do quite well. How many miles do you have on your AWDe? Unless you are experiencing poor handling characteristics (excessive body roll or bounce over bumps) your existing struts should be just fine. We very seldom see struts that NEED to be replaced even after 100k-150k miles.

    Definitely don’t bother replacing your struts with that few miles or even fewer than 150k for such a new vehicle.

    What’s your mpg difference with 27 inch tires?

    you know.. everyone asks this... but fail to realize it has more to do with your car and any maintenance performed. you can have two identical cars, lift, tires but one has a dirty egr, the dirty egr vehicle will never have the same mpg as a clean egr vehicle.

    that said, I haven't noticed much of any mpg lost with all-terrain 27" tires.

    PriusOverlanding is trying to pass themselves off as PriusOffRoad, including using Offroad's images on their site, and many people are unhappy with Overlanding.

    Priusoffroad - Prius Lift, Lift Kits is legit.

    Is your point to promote Overlanding? Because it appears you are giving away free advertisement.

    Second, why aren't you saying this about Harbor Freight? Apple, Toyota? You know they are inspired by-products of others then manufacture as do many companies.
