I LIFTED MY TOYOTA PRIUS! Prius Off-road lift kit

[@Travelers4Good]

Nikki, I saw this video a few months ago and just had Eric install the lift kit into my 2014 Prius V wagon on July 1st, it is awesome. Eric said your video had a positive impact on his business these past several months. We are planing to head out on a year long cross country mixed car camp/hotel trip and I look forward to taking our Prius off the beaten path. Thank you for bringing this mod to our attention, I look forward to more of your content.

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Yay! So glad to hear. Eric is the best, really knows his stuff!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@dr.josefudeyama64]

Hihi.also have a 2014v. How much did the lift cost?

[@Sensesftw]

How did the lift affect gas mileage

[@Travelers4Good]

@@Sensesftw I am not certain because at about the same time I also installed a roof rack with two Thule cargo boxes plus 1 inch larger diameter all terrain tires. I will tell you the cargo boxes kill milage, by maybe 10+ MPG. I'm currently moving those cargo boxes to a small utility trailer to see if towing them yields better milage than the roof resistance. My guess is that the lift alone has very little (1 or 2 mpg) if any fuel efficiency impact.

[@Kikinahm]

Look my wife is motivated, now!😃😃😎😉

[@DavidWilks]

I have bought four auction Prius vehicles from various State Government agencies that were incredibly cheap because their Fleet Maintenance deemed the hybrid battery as BAD. The water leak from the hatch created corrosion which triggers a failure in the charge distribution. A simple 30-minute fix had everything functioning perfectly!!

[@NikkiDelventhal]

A. One year later review - anyone with a Prius NEEDS to check offroad Prius out, a quality product with a ton of heart and passion behind it and in my opinion best on the market. PS. SORRY ABOUT THE AUDIO! This was one of the first videos I ever edited in my life and before I learned the skills! But still awesome info just be careful for the audio level changes! XOXOXO

Watched half this video, went to their site, bought the kit and a skid plate for my gen 4, and he was nice enough to accommodate my short notice install appt request, and i was lifted in a few days. Took like 2 hours with the skid plate. If i had gotten this when I first got my prius, I'd have saved thousands in underside damage. Eric said I have the worst one he's seen yet 😩😂 These cars don't get enough credit. Capable af! 10x better with 1.5 of lift. Great video!

[@Drew2012123]

Yes, I Just took my 2011 Prius Plus which is a Sport Model which also has 17inch Rims. I replaced my Coil Springs, shocks, and front Struts all around and lifted it up to about a 1-1/2 inches . The car now rides softer. Did it all myself. Really pretty nice, My Prius has now 171000 miles.

[@greysonphoenix3442]

I need to do this to my 2011 with 19" rims 😥

[@lotsofstuff3860]

How do the bigger wheels affect, mileage, your speedometer reading, and handling? Is there any down side to it that you’ve found?

[@1mostwanted253]

Did you replace with longer strut and springs? That is more effective than placing a puck on top because naturally, the springs will lift your car higher, unlike having a puck on top which the original springs will still compress half way, lowering the vehicle. And too big of a puck only will work while the spring is half way compressed, but the moment you go over any bump, RIP to your axle hitting the frame

[@TruthfulPromise]

real mileage should be more than the odometer reading if you changed the rim size. Prius is a very reliable car.

[@MichaelMoore-bx6st]

I took my prius across country and slept in it most nights. I bottomed out like a dozen or more times, to the point I thought maybe an SUV would be better for doing this again, but I like your solution much better Thanks for sharing your experience!

Oh yeah, I ❤️ Camper, your new travel buddy. I believe you and your mother rescued him and I thank you for it. Must find & watch the whole episode when you found him.

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Carlos The height this is definitely not ideal for going off road, BUT if I was to choose a larger AWD upgrade I personally might to a little larger with the fuel economy difference! Depends what you need it for! Yes we rescued him, he was a stray/abandoned :-(

[@energyideas]

Lot of designers in the comments here. The reason the Prius is low is for gas mileage. Raise it lose gas mileage. Put a rocket on top lose gas mileage. I have a bike rack on back lose gas mileage. Lots of trade offs.

[@mikeo.4203]

Used to live in rhode island which to this day I believe has the worst roads in America. I bottomed out my 01 camry and the no lie the catalytic converter fell off.

Okay, this video was a much needed view cause I have never seen a Prius get a lift like that. Super dope

[@portnuefflyer]

I did the same with my 2013 PIP a couple years ago. Well worth it for me, living in a rural area with lots of snow, and extra clearance is appreciated! No difference in MPG, and the lift helps driving around in town also.

Thanks for the video. I picked up the lift kit and a set of those struts and just installed them. It was time consuming but otherwise fairly straightforward. I'm pretty happy with it so far. It feels much more stable on the pavement. Ready to find a gravel road and really test them out.

[@irawhitlock1084]

So helpful to have even just a bit more clearance. Opens up a lot more options for dispersed camping. Trucks/vans can get such horrible mileage it makes more sense to just lift the car a little and not sacrifice the savings in fuel.

I will definitely be checking out Prius Off-road. My Prius is almost on the ground. I had noticed the rubber boots on my struts were completely gone so now is a good time to replace & LIFT

[@ericschmidt1987]

The leak is a common issue. But I honestly fix mine with electrical tape. There’s stress cracks located on the top left and right of the trunk. Open your trunk, facing your trunk looking at the top left and right area normally hidden by the trunk. There’s usually cracks there. The cracks are super super small enough to let water go through. A fix is using silicone it I sealed it using electrical tape to seal the rain. I’m in Cali so it doesn’t rain as much so use silicone to seal it.

[@costafilh0]

They always make cars as low and as slick as possible to help with fuel economy. For the end user maybe not a perceptible difference but on manufacturer granular testing it probably does a bit.

[@hedionda71]

I increased my Gen2 tire size from 185/65-15 to 195/65-15 for some extra clearance. The larger size has been standard on the Prius since the 2010 model year. I have not experienced any clearance or rubbing issues with the larger tire and it doesn't affect the suspension's geometry (even more height without adding to the spacer's 1-1/2" modification). Your local tire shop is also likely to have more tire options in stock in the larger size should you need to replace a damaged tire on the road or if you're simply shopping for a new set.

[@TakuyaHikichi]

So did you increase to 195 from 185 without a lift? My Gen 2 is 2005 and has stock set. I will get this same lift soon.

[@hedionda71]

@@TakuyaHikichi My car is strictly for city use with steep hills, potholes, speed bumps, and dips. It can be annoying with the low front bumper and overall ride height. If you're looking for substantial clearance, others have commented on their use of even taller tires with the spacer modification. A 195 upgrade simply gives you a bit more clearance and better purchase options than the 185 with negligible affect on speedometer accuracy, hybrid torque values, or wheel well clearance.

Very interesting idea! Never heard of that, although there are now AWD Priuses. Should take you many more places than before. Typically lifts are accompanied by skid plates underneath to shield vital components from rocks, and larger All Terrain tires. If you decide to go this route you might consider Yokohama Geolandar GO15's. They are quite effective off-road but less attention-getting than most A/T tires, quieter than most on-road, and are also severe snow rated. They would actually help you go more places :)

The name for a Prius skid plate is Catalytic Converter Cover.

Another thought, I had one installed on a truck before look into a possible air bag kit just when needed for off roading and you can go really high or just enough to clear to things at the push of a button and drop it back down to stock factory ride higth in 6 seconds if they make a air ride kit for your Prius. Cheaper way for rear of your car install air shocks fairly quick easy and pretty cheap. If you want to go alot higher in future also to prevent rear end of vehicle from sagging with to much weight!

I have always been curious about the possibilities of lifting a Prius, so this was very informative. As someone who offroads often, I would definitely recommend getting some good all terrain tires and go up a size on the sidewall if you can. A/T tires will help protect from getting a flat compared to regular street tires. Tires become part of the suspension when aired down to 15-20 psi and can make the drive offroad MUCH more comfy/safe. Looking forward to more of your adventures!

Awesome, lots more ground clearance! Can't go wrong with a Toyota. Coincidentally I have a 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid that has very similar drivetrain that's actually patterned after the Toyota Prius system from what I'm told. I wanted mine to be a little more off roady and while I did not put a lift kit in it (the Escape is already high enough for mild off road adventures) I did find a "No Boundaries" edition of the Escape (2003) in a local junk yard and swapped all the cool stuff like the roof rack with convertible back rack built in, and the side steps, plus an aftermarket brush guard (just for looks). The roof rack took a considerable amount of work to mount it properly but in the end it became a more rugged looking vehicle (just more rugged looking, not actually more rugged, haha. :-P At 180k miles it's been a great vehicle. The Hybrid battery is original and I haven't had any problems with it up to this point knock on wood and all in all it's been a very reliable little SUV.

It’s 2 Wheel Dr. and the ground clearance in deep snow dragging the belly is all that holds me back with snow tires not the traction or the power. The four-wheel-drive version gives you more traction to overcome the belly drag but if you don’t have the belly drag in the first place the front wheel drive does just fine. Yeah it’s snows a lot where I live.

This is really cool! I have a 2005 Prius that I use for car camping every once in a while. It’s my everyday car, but I’ve been considering a build out and watching your videos realizing how many things probably need to be replaced 🙃 I assume cargo weight also plays into it.

Cool Prius. Wait, what? Who knew you could lift a Prius? This is pretty cool. Good luck and by all means be careful!

[@MinimaDomum]

Great video! I have a similar lift in my Prius but unfortunately got it before Prius Offroad started making their (better quality) kit

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Nice! His kits are awesome, for sure!!!

[@MacBravo]

What a game changer! Uhhhh, you're in a Prius, that qualifies you as a minimalist.

[@capcom4eva]

If you’re a hypermiler, sure! ;)

[@PaulBarger]

Your car is so sick! I love the lift!

[@NikkiDelventhal]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Wow! I never knew they could lift a Prius. I guess you can lift anything now days. I just checked Google images and you can actually fit BF Goodrich off-road tires. Rad!

[@SCOGANHORSE]

Now if only someone would make strut spacers I could use on my Hyundai Accent. This is awesome

Nice! Never heard of priusoffroad, thanks. You might get Prius Touring wheels, 16" x 6" OEM Toyota. Looks much better than the 15" roller skate wheels...

[@RG-wd6qs]

Perfect match! You need some A/T tires, or at least M&S All Season to improve traction off-road. Be safe!
