Default Lifting a 2five

I recently purchased a 2013 2five and would like to lift it with a 3 or 4 inch lift. i dont see any when i do a google search so curious if there is an issue with lifting a 2five. Anyone done so or know of any that have been? If so was a standard RXV lift used? Thx!

The only real issue I could think of would be the brake lines. The 2Five has 4 wheel hydraulic brakes. I haven't really looked at mine to see how much slack is there. I would think the RXV kit would fit as the chassis is pretty much the same thing.

Good point. Will take a look and see if that will be an issue. Thanks for the response.

You would have to get a lift kit that reuses the stock front spindles, as that's what the brakes mount to.

Lifting a 2Five would be a big mistake. The 2Five ROPS (Roll Over Protection Sytem) built into the roof is much heavier than the RXV chassis it is built from was designed for. At the higher speeds that the 2Five runs at, that would make it unsafe in turns and curves on the road. It would no longer meet the DMVs MVHSS (motor vehicle highway safety standards) by performing that modification. Larger tires would increase the top speed, making it even worst. Higher speed by itself is one thing, and doable. But raising the center of gravity by lifting it is not the best way to do it.
