I have a 2003 xr ALL WHEEL DRIVE. I did this but just be aware that any mod adds stress on other components.. For instance after you do this mod, you will now hear a slight banging in the front part of your engine, Reason is the CV axles on both wheels are now at angles they are not designed to be so being a 3 bearing axle rotating at a now angle and not horizontal you will hear a thud as it turns... if the axle had four bearing you would not hear the grinding as much.. to test, lift the car totally up off the wheels on a lift and put it in drive and watch the engine jump everytime the axle does a full rotation... so yes your bearing and axles will break sooner with this lift. That is with all mods that the car was not intended or designed for. If you can deal with the added vibration and don't mind to nurse your car over speed bumps you will be fine and enjoy the added lift. I will . I think it's worth the benefits over the cons. But I want to be real. I don't drive on dirt roads and in the woods where rippin sound don't matter but Im in the city and drive on decent roads where I can hear birds and feel my steering shake a little and tires wobble. I also did the strut bar in the engine bay as well. I did post it but I dont see it my write up but for those people who had continued to read this tahdah... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EDE6EO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also I will go with a larger size tire, that will raise the car up more, and will not hinder the axles at all or change the angles of the axles. Answer the question does it turn differently, no I feel no incumbrance or advantage it's the same. No way feeling of rolling over or losing control get that strut bar in the link even if you don't do the lift I think Toyota should roll all autos out the doors with these. BTW get a front end alignment ... and surprise.. you have to buy two bolts because your front tires are still cambered inat the bottom. You cannot do a proper alignment without it because your stock bolts are too short.

I’d be very careful pulling that much weight, but if you brake accordingly and keep a safe distance you should be fine. We pulled an atv for almost 2 hours with zero issues, but that was roughly 1200 lbs trailer included. Pulled with no issues! Best of luck!

You don't _have_ to run that red wire to an ignition-controlled 12v source, you could also run it to the battery, and have an always-usable winch. Unless the instructions gave a really compelling reason not to do that. Could be more useful if the main fuse blows in the field when it's stuck in the mud.
