Question:
I have a 2020 Toyota Rav4 LE thats used as a primary commuter. With a Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier, and load, the rear suspension s between 1.5 and 2 inches. Is this an acceptable change? If no, would you have a product that I could use to lessen this to acceptable levels? Preferably something I could install and that works with the existing suspension. Also, Im in need of front stabilizer links and a trailer wiring harness. Thanks, Jim

Hey James! For a 2020 RAV4 I'm not entirely sure if that is too much or not. Does it feel like your braking is off when you carry everything? Are the headlights tilting up from the rear sag? Are you bottoming out?
If any of these things are true then it would be a good idea to add the Timbren SES - Coil Spring Suspension # T58GR for extra support. If you're driving around with the cargo carrier and a fully loaded vehicle every single day then it is probably a good idea regardless.
Front stabilizer links aren't something we carry but I can help you out with trailer wiring. I'm assuming you're looking for a 4-way to power trailer lights so you can use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56434. This plugs into the connection points behind your tail lights and then you'll run a hot lead up to the battery.
