Default Suspension Lift

Hey y'all, wondering if anyone has 'lifted' their 300...If so can you post some pictures and let me know where to go to get the parts and what is involved?

Not looking to make a monster truck, just a little more ground clearance and possibly larger tires.

Thanks and have a great weekend!

I've been looking, i haven't come across any lift setups myself. I think it is because our RX's and Highlander brothers, essentially have a car chassis vs a real truck. Or that the consumer base has little demand for one since they spend 99.9% of their time on the road.

IMHO There is more to it. RX is essentially a front wheel drive. Transmission to wheels is a short distance and lift that is noticeable will require a substantial angle change in the drive shafts.

Best suited for lift are rear wheel shaft drive where you have a long(er) distance to diff.

Don't think I've seen a lifted RX300 before. A 4runner/GX is a much better candidate for that.
