Why Us?
At Prius Overlanding, we don’t just follow the crowd—we challenge assumptions with real-world experience. Unlike other sources that push arbitrary limitations, we take a data-driven approach to Prius modifications. Here’s what you need to know.
Can I go bigger than a 1.5” lift?
Yes. The myth that lifting a Prius beyond 1.5” is unsafe or causes major suspension issues is completely unfounded. To date, no one has provided evidence of actual failures due to higher lifts. However, what you will find at 1.5” is axle rubbing against metal—a detail that conveniently gets left out. Our solutions eliminate this issue while allowing for a more functional lift.
How big of a tire can I fit?
Tire fitment is not just about lift height—it depends on wheel offset, suspension setup, and intended use. Many people falsely assume that larger tires automatically mean rubbing, but we’ve proven that with proper planning, you can run significantly larger tires than what’s commonly recommended. Reach out to us for real-world tested tire fitment guidance.
What tires should I buy?
The best tires for your lifted Prius depend on where you drive. If you’re aiming for true all-terrain capability, we recommend a balance between durability, traction, and efficiency. Oversized tires can improve performance but require proper adjustments. Unlike others, we don’t just sell you a lift—we help you build a complete setup.
What wheels are best?
Offset matters. The right wheels should provide proper clearance without unnecessary stress on suspension components. Unlike other sources that push generic recommendations, we focus on function over guesswork.
Will lifting my Prius reduce fuel economy?
A lift may impact aerodynamics slightly, but the idea that a 1.5” lift is the “safe” limit while anything beyond that kills efficiency is nonsense. The reality? Properly selected tires and alignment make a bigger difference than lift height alone.
How much does installation cost?
DIY or professional install? It’s up to you. We provide resources for both. Costs vary, but what matters most is proper execution—many installers cut corners, leading to problems they later blame on the lift itself.
Should I replace my struts?
Strut condition matters more than lift height. If your struts are worn out, replacing them will improve ride quality regardless of lift size. Unlike others, we don’t push unnecessary part replacements—just smart, functional upgrades.
Will a lift void my warranty?
A dealership can’t void your warranty just because you modified your vehicle. However, if a failure occurs due to a modification, that specific part may not be covered. That being said, the idea that going beyond 1.5” automatically voids warranties is fear-mongering.
Do I need an alignment after lifting?
Absolutely. Lifting affects alignment, but that’s true at any height—not just beyond 1.5”. Anyone saying otherwise is leaving out key details.
Do you offer catalytic converter protection?
Yes. Prius theft is real, and we offer solutions to protect your vehicle. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Contact us for shipping details based on your location.
What is your return policy?
We accept returns on unused and uninstalled items. Certain conditions apply, so check our policy before purchasing.
At Prius Overlanding, we don’t just sell parts—we bring tested solutions to the table. If you’re tired of half-truths and misinformation, you’re in the right place.
