Sup folks. I went with the RC lift kit due to the extra components you get (in comparison to other kits on the market) to keep everything as close to spec as possible.
I have a 2020 Rav4 Hybrid XLE.

Huge shoutout to @blk.yota.rav on Instagram. He helped answer a lot of questions for me about his experience with the RC lift.

I know some folks have had issues with their RC kits but after 3 months, I have only had minimal vibrations around 17-20 mph. BUT after installing new tires recently, that vibration seems to be gone.
I also installed Godspeed rear adjustable toe arms to get my rear camber back in spec.
Coupled that with EZ cam bolts, and my front camber is also back in spec.
The only spec that can't be adjusted is the caster (at least with my setup) but it's not too much of a concern.
Besides caster, everything else (Alignment wise) is back in spec, which includes Toe and Camber for front and back.
I still wish there was a front subframe drop kit for the 5th Gen Ravs, but so far Traxda is only company that make those components. Sadly, they still refuse to sell those components separately and still require their whole lift kit to be purchased. These components would ultimately help get the front CV joints back into spec and ideally stop any axle binding or 'vibrations' while driving. As for now, I should be fine. No extreme vibrations that I am concerned about. I also only installed the RC lift up front and did NOT stack it with Eibach springs (in the front). I did however stack my Eibach springs with the RC lift in the rear.
Speaking of the rear, you'll notice I also installed Sumo Springs to help progressively support weight. They hold up really well and allow me to have a more cushioned ride when unloaded and a stiffer ride as I add more weight. That's one pro over a stiffer spring. But, in time, I may finally jump to a stiffer spring. For now, I'll stick with this setup since it's also my daily.
Any questions? Drop one or feel free to troll me ;)
