Thanks Roy, appreciate it ;)

Thanks! 🙏 You'll get loads more clearance this way! Have fun!

@@BjornV really thanks bjorn my 2012 its been only been used for the city ¡ and i would love to go further with the ridgy , have a good day sir blesings

Thanks! Are you planning on lifting your truck?

Thanks! I'm running 30.5" tyres. 245/70/17 ;)

Hey! Thanks man! Appreciate it ;) So yes, I lifted it with thetraxda 202020 kit (2" lift) Using the original wheels with taller tyres I got +- 3" lift. I got my wheel sandblasted (they're not real chrome!) and powdercoated black. No problem, we're here to help eachother ;)

Nice tip, I do the same at work. Foes take time, but if you need to keep the part, worth doing so.

Thanks man! It's not that hard, and as you can see, easy enough to dl at home ;)

You know it!💪

Thanks man!💪

The rear is included in the kit. It's 2 inch aswell. Insta: vbjorn Thanks for watching! 😎

They're 245/70/17, and I just love them!😁 Thanks for watching!

Thanks! 3" would be epic aswell, but doing the subframe drop may be a problem for the yearly car inspection of the truck. Belgian car inspection sucks for modified cars :p Don't forget to subscribe! :D

It was ok, If you go 3" you will have to space it. But 2" is fine on my truck ;)

So imagine you've got a stuck bolt, that's in an open end nut so you can see the threads sticking out. You clean the threads and apply wd40, and start to back up the bolt. hen it's stuck, you go back in and apply more wd40 so the threads withing the nut are lubricated. In the end the nut threads are lubricated completely and the bolt can be taken out. Now do this without wd40, you will hear the bolt and nut screeching because both threads are dry. So now, we want to put the bolt back in, but wd40 isn't good for that because wd40 dissolves after time. So I use ptfe lubrication, When applying this to threads, the bolt goes in to a nut easyer, and the threads within the nut stay lubricated, and you can still tighten the bolt to spec without it backing out over time. BUT it will back out easier when you disassemble, without the need of wd40! (I would still use wd40) We've been doing this for years at work, and when disassembling the same bolts again after time, they come loose easier :) Hope this explains your question :p

The wheels are oem without any spacers, might do spacers later. The rack is OEM, but I'm going to build a bed rack to put my roof top tent on!

Thanks man! It's a 2006 RTL-Navi, but the navi doesn't work in europe 😅 My tire height is 30.5" no rubbing. 31,6" with lift is possible but you need to grind the pinch welds.

Thanks Max! Thanks for checking out my channel ✌️

@@BjornV Hi Bjorn, after your lift, did you have to have your truck re-aligned ?

@@Kickstartyourcar yeah, I work at Nissan/Hyundai, and I aligned the truck myself after the install. I did use camberbolts in the front to get it all within spec. Almost 1 year later, and still loving it!

@@BjornV Hi, tahnks for the reply. I just got my hands on a 2011 ridgeline and thiunking of the 2 inch lift and more agressive tires. do you recommend any info before I start ?

Make sure the timing belt is done, and do maintenance on all parts you can. When chosing tyres, chose wisely, some that don't make a lot of noise on the highway. And tyres that don't rub. Nothing more annoying than tyres that rub... When installing the kit, take a look in the enginebay through the front wheel well, and inspect all parts you can see. Just so you know if there's anything broken or not ;) And... Enjoy the ridgeline, it's an awesome truck!✌️

Yeah that's correct. That's how the kit works. It should lift you 2" ;)

Thanks!

Thanks man!👌 Don't forget to subscribe for more ;)

I will have to measure them, they were in the kit from Traxda, you can buy them seperately as well: traxda.com/202022.html

I got the 245/70/17 AT, These wont rub without lift, so that's why I took those to be sure

When lubing up the bolt threads, they will enter the threads easyer, and the stay oiled/lubed up. So whenever you take that bolt back out, it will not be corroded or rusted. You do have to tighten it tight enough though.

Thanks!

Hi, I went with the 245/70/17 toyo open country at+ (for Europe)

@@BjornV Thank you for the quick response. I am going to be installing a 2 inch lift kit and my original Michelin tires are going to need to be replaced before this winter so thank you for that! Have you noticed any miles per gallon drop? Or do you know if your speedometer is off a little?

Not sure about the MPG. The tyres that were ln my RTL were winter tyres with bad MPG... The speedo is off for sure, Now if i drive 100kph on the dash i am driving 106 on GPS

It is level now, but I am thinking about adding an additional spacer in the rear.

No I haven't had any vibrations, it's been driving great the last 1.5 years 👌 I can't drop the subframe due to the law here :(

@@BjornV nice good to hear just was wondering I’m sitting on a 2 inch lift kit and haven’t installed yet I also ordered the subframe kit just to be safe curious when people do the 2 inch if they have issues or not ! Stinks about that law lol! Thanks for the response!

@@curanhenning4070 it's always good to install the subframe kit. Takes off the stress on your suspension components, resulting in less parts breaking :p Glad I could help ;)

Thanks!

No axle wobble at all!

That would be cool! I have a rooftoptent on mine now, But when I fab up something to put it on the bed, qi might adda smaller basket on my roof rack as well.

🤑 sounds dope! I have to many projects lmao

Thanks man!

Most likely your axles are bad. This issue is known in the Ridgeline community, some people get vibrations address the lift, some don't. Hrg has made subframe spacers to take away the stress on the axles.

Yeah you should definitely get camber bolts for the front, and get an alignment. My wheels were pointed in a V shape aswell. Now the alignment is done, it's perfect. I will not burn trough tyres either now ;) So get the bolts and alignment 👌

I would do it!

Hi, I got all py parts from USA, Amazon, Ebay, rockauto, ... There are some parts available in Poland and Sweden, but they don't like to ship abroad. Facebook pages: Honda ridgeline owners club is very usefull and Honda Ridgeline Buy/Sell/Swap, but again, they don't really like shipping outside their country :( hope I could help!

@@BjornV Ok thank you very much.

No not really, I did replace my worn inner boots, but they were already leaking before the install.

@@BjornV thanks for the reply! appreciate it

Yes it fits up to 2014!

2006

Thanks! I used the traxda 202020 kit.

​@@BjornV sorry for my ignorance... so my understanding 3" kit will require a subframe kit? and a 2" would not required it?

No problem :p Yeah you do 't need the subframe kit, but it would be advised though. The suspension will be under more load because the angle of al your arms are not like oem.

@@BjornV thank you for your reply. just out of curiosity .... did you notice any difference in noise while driving? since the axels and control arms have more tension

For me, it drove smoother than on the wintertyres that it came on. Now after 30k miles my suspension is rattling. But these are still the first shocks, and those 'eed to be changed out after 100k - 150k miles.

The front one us mounted with 2 L brackets. 1 part to the plate, 1 part to 2 rivnuts in the bumper

HRG has a 3" lift kit with subframe spacers, and flatout suspensions has coilovers.

Highway 15l/100km lpg and combined about 18-19l/100km lpg.

They're 245/70/17 Toyo At plus. European spec AT's

@@BjornV so 5% larger than stock.. 🤔

Yeah, it's 1" taller than stock. I didn't want to grind welds, or have bad driveability. In Belgium you're only allowed to go 1.5% taller or 2% smaller than stock tyre size. So I bought some BMW x5 wheels and tyres to pass technical inspection.

Yeah this is just perfect, going for more requires more modifications like lowering the subframe. So yeah, this will be perfect for you!

245/70/17 With mudflaps, no rubbing 👌

@@BjornV ahhh I see thanks man I want try on mine!

@@lanzjosephcalderon-hu3ix yeah no problem!

btw do you have any wobble or shake while driving with the lift ? thanks man

@@lanzjosephcalderon-hu3ix no. None at all!

You can't get them in because the assembly is too big? If so you have to press the control arm downwards.

Just noticed your reply thank you, I ended up getting it in. Too me about 10hrs to do the entire job. The rears I had to get creative with the pry bar, the shock bolt was refusing to go in the end threads. I got my truck aligned to spec and now Im getting alot of clunking during slow speeds in the front end any thoughts?

They were on the truck when I imported it :)

I have an 06 and I tell my wife every time I see a lifted one, THESE TRUCKS WEREN’T MEANT TO BE LIFTED! It looks tacky

What major problems? I've been driving around like this for years, only having my shocks going bad now, but that's normal. 135k miles with oem shocks.

What should I change it to? I thought this was clear enough?

@@BjornV It only says “English” as the title.

@@MegaAvids the title is 'how to lift a gen 1 Ridgeline!' I just checked my app and youtube studio's, strange that it's different on your screen 🤔
