I have a 40 mm lift installed on my PHEV, after some offroading started to hear a clunk. Turns out I snapped a sway bar Link (passenger side). Not sure if I hit something or perhaps I need extended (longer) links, presumably a 4 cm longer link will put the sway bar geometry back to stock.

Thanks for this. Probably i will just pull the relay when needed, rather than going to the extent of wiring in a switch.

Almost got stuck today towing my fairly small (16 foot) aluminum boat in my 2019 Outlander PHEV. The launch ramp not steep at all, but some gravel. Just did not have the torque to get going. Wheels weren't slipping, didn't matter if engine on or off. Had to have someone give me a helping push...

Same here. It's quite annoying. Haven't found any way to stop it from happening. Climate control turned off. Still starts up the ice below 5 C even in EV mode. I

I bought the 40 mm kit, my shop tried to install it but says the passenger side CV hits the control arm, and it is impossible to fit. Wasted $200 labor and they had to put it back together. So I'm not sure if my shop is at fault, or if the 40 mm kits doesn't fit the PHEV.

After reading this, I bought the 40 mm kit from rising and it doesn't fit. Passenger side CV interferes with the control arm. So it looks like i have a lift kit i can't use. probably 30 mm is as high as you can go.

After hearing about others installing a 40 mm lift kit on their PHEV, I purchased one from Russia. The shop got one side installed, but said the other side was impossible to install since the passenger side front CV is hitting the lower control arm. So I've got a useless lift kit now. They say...
