😂 lol

Lol, should be top coment!!

Wow this prius is older than my 2011 prius I sold last year. I sold it because it burned oil badly. 5 quarts in 6-7 hours of constant highway driving! Local city driving it be no prob.

My 2011 Oil burning Prius had sunroof, heated leather seats and a solar panel on the roof.

You mean turd edition??

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

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

How did the lift affect gas mileage

@@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.

Look my wife is motivated, now!😃😃😎😉

We agree!

From North America? I don't get the obsession for F150 there (outside utilitary usage). A Prius is cute and fun!

Hows the lifted prius holding up?

@@ryanhagler3518 Best decision I ever made was using his lift lol! Still going strong! I got my parents using it too’

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

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

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

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

Much more cost effective! Lol

Trust me with the fuel mileage of an SUV you will cry at how much you go to the pump.

100%!!! It’s crazy they don’t come like this already! No joke would bottom out on speed bumps!🤯😂

I was considering purchasing a Prius but this hight thing is making me think twice. I am thinking now a Rav4 which is better for street bumps and such. Anyway, greetings from the Riviera Maya, Nikky! 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.

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 :-(

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.

It really is! Thank you!!!

So did mine & Sooooo worth it!

Barely Fishing haha I love it. Darn right you are! 😂

I'm planning to lift my focus st

@@NikkiDelventhal On a side note I'm into health if you want to make your self and camper last alot longer and boost your immune system. Drink 9.5 pH alkaline oxygenated water. I've been drinking it for 12+ years and counting it's one of the best things I've done that has kept me from being sick. Now for 12+ years drinking alkaline pH oxygenated water and counting!!! 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! Good luck I'm off grid too! Debit and stress free more time and money, take care!

I’m so glad! Yeah, he’s the coolest!

Theresa, where did you get the recommended alignment done? I cannot find a place close by.

@@sabinevillamar-perez7135 Same place as Nikki in Chico, CA at Prius Off-road. You can buy the kit from Eric but you should ask him for a possible recommendations.

Yes, this was a GAME CHANGER! Highly recommended! THANK YOU!!!🥰

How much does something like that cost....and do most shops do that kind of work ?

Sweet! I hope it’s as awesome for you as it is for Camper and I! Anytime!

How did the lift affect overall mpg

@@Sensesftw I didn’t notice a drop off in fuel economy. That’s also what I’ve heard from others who have done the same

Thanks for sharing this piece of valuable info! =)

Same

I think the Honda Fit is lower lol I need to lift mine too

Just bottomed out on a trip into the mountains...they had put speed bumps/water channel that was way too deep. Ouch!

Lol, I thought I was the only one. That’s just regular driving for me. I had a 15 year old rav4 before my Prius and I thought that it just because I was not use to a car. Well it’s been a year and I am still apologizing to car everytime I bump something. Yeah, I am going to lift this car.

​@@Saboramiidid you lift your fit?

I love that statement cause it’s soooo true! I’m so happy that you are inspired, that’s the idea of my channel, thank you so much for connecting and taking the time to write! 🥰

@@NikkiDelventhal There is a cheat way of making your Prius all wheel drive you would need 1 - 2 p100d Tesla battery modules to compensate for the cheat mod...

@@kylereese4822 you should post a video of how to do this

@@ckl5801 That`s my plan as soon i go back work :):) i`m also going to put a below 1000cc engine in the Prius and run it on HHo.... :):)

Hope you got a van

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.

@@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.

Thank you for commenting and watching!

@@NikkiDelventhal where did you get your Prius aligned after the installation? I cannot find a place close by. Thanks

I wrote her two weeks ago about that. My brother’s Friend had his stolen and he immediately called me cause that part expensive. I did not know this was thing with Prius and that it could cost up to $2000 to replace. I order cat shield of eBay For $80. Better safe then sorry.

That would be cool! Im totally down for a new Prius or even a Sienna! hahaha

Awesome! It was soooo worth it!

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

YES! Thank you!

Thanks!

@@NikkiDelventhal 👍🏼

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

🥰🙏🏻

SAME dream! So I just said, well... I have a Prius! LETS GO!!! Haha! Thanks so much!:-)))))

Yes! Thank you. Have a good one!:-)

Hahahahah do you even lift bro?

Right on! Thanks so much!

Go for it! & Thank you =)

It’s a game changer! Stopped bottoming out on speed bumps, can go down dirt roads with less worry. Highly recommended!

I don’t mean to be a pain but, I see this video was 10 months ago.. can you comment on how the lift kit is holding up almost a year later??? ☺️ Have you had any problems of the sort or anything at all related to the lift kit?

Haha literally, just filmed a video doing exactly what you describe! Amazing!! Thanks so much, at first I had no idea how common this actually was!:-))))

I’m grew up around you! For sure- RAV4 was on my possible next car list, so cool!!!!

If you’re a hypermiler, sure! ;)

Thanks for the rec & info! Now if only the Prius was AWD!

​@@NikkiDelventhal There was a good post I was reading through recently that talked about removing specific fuses to reduce the acceleration cutoff when wheel spin is detected. That article could help you a lot while offroading. Also, have you seen the new gen Prius? They offer an AWD!

Dan Jones NO WAY!!! AWD!!!! I’m in!

YAYYY!!!!

Awesome! Eric is GREAT!

@@NikkiDelventhal .... I saw that your shocks were replaced but did they put in heavier duty shocks or were they stock shocks?..... I know it probably feels better since they are new but with the amount of weight you added the new shocks could still be overloaded.
