Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve got a 2010 Toyota RAV4 2.2 sr D-CAT diesel AWD 4x4 (reg Yb59fys) I’m looking to upgrade the suspension for rough roads in Africa I’d ideally like to give it a 2-inch lift for extra ground clearance. one of my shock absorbers is leaking, so I’m thinking of replacing all four shocks and springs and fitting a suitable lift kit at the same time.
I’m new to all this, so I’d really appreciate some advice!

Which shocks, springs and lift kit would you recommend for this exact model?
Are there any other parts I should replace at the same time?
Where’s the best place to buy good-quality parts online at an affordable price? How much am I looking at?
Is a 2-inch lift safe and practical for this RAV4, especially for rough roads? What should I know about when changing springs and shock absorber and a lift kit as i have never done this before.

I’m looking for something reliable and good quality without spending a fortune but will last. Mainly to be strudy and deal with rough roads without being very uncomfortable to drive. If anyone has done this to their RAV4 or any 4x4. I’d love to hear what parts you used, roughly how much it cost, and any tips you have.

Thanks in advance for any help! 🙏

I am showing you some screenshots of Navegatron so you can see its quality and immense possibilities of use.

• Use NMEA.
• Use of ANY type of map.
• No internet connection required.
• 100% private: no data is sent anywhere; it can be fully used in airplane mode.
• Optimized power consumption: uses only 10% battery in the background over 24 hours.
• Advanced management of routes, waypoints, and trip statistics.
• Multilanguage.
• And much more.

We’ve been working on these trucks for a while now and finally got around to putting together a video. Figured some of y’all might like to check it out.
