Dash's Civic Wagon Lift: My Setup

[@DashnCars]

I've seen this video get a ton of views lately and draw in some new subs, thank you all! Keep up to date, I've got a 6" lift kit that I'll be installing within the next few weeks! Videos up soon! -Jon

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

💓 at 8:33! 😀 Keep doing you buddy. Wagon, FiST, Element, whatever! Just keep up the quality content!

[@DashnCars]

Garage Built Hondas I'm rocking those Garage Built Honda stickers! 😍 Thanks for the support Jon! I've gotta kick it up a notch.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Dash-n-Cars I like the direction of your channel, it's organic and growing on it's own with just you doing what you want to do, that's all I do for mine because ultimately it's all for you in the end. 👍

[@DashnCars]

Garage Built Hondas True story, I've gotta stick to my guns and push harder. Thanks for your support! That little shout out you gave me was a great bump!

[@HondaVlogs]

Just keep making vidoes man! love it!

[@DashnCars]

Honda Vlogs That, I can do! 😁

[@ky5959]

Wagon for Life!!!

[@DashnCars]

Daniel Schmidt 10000% 😁I friggin love my wagon.

[@doitalldavey8788]

Not sure if that's new but the Jurassic Park plate really completes it

[@DashnCars]

David Johnson Nope! I've had that plate on for about 3 years now.

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Look forward to see what gains you get.

[@DashnCars]

TheCanadianBubba Me too, talking with Ben it looks like I'll be up another 6" total

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Was gonna say 6" would be a great result... Look forward to see how it goes

[@rt4wd_wolff]

Wagon stuff! 👍😁

[@rt4wd_wolff]

Fab up some side runners. Somthing our wagons really need

[@bendinkid]

Were you running accord front springs and integra rear springs or the civic springs with the swapped struts? Also, what size BFGs are those? Thanks!! Love the 6” lift on it now, but I’m on a budget.

[@DashnCars]

Integra and Accord! Yup! Just what was stated in the video. The tires are a 215 /75 /15

[@MrJayDM]

I have a JDM Beagle and thought about lifting it but It's JDM and it's a Beagle and its all Stock. I kinda want to keep it all stock but then again I want to have fun with it. (WWJD) What would Jon Do?

[@DashnCars]

Man I want a Beagle soooo bad. The greenish blue with the silver lower half..

[@ahapainenpaavo6010]

This is amazing

[@DashnCars]

Just wait until you see the new lift!

[@davtm_17m93]

I got a 2019 civic and I want to give it a off-road look

[@davtm_17m93]

I want some tires like yours. Where’s you get them from

[@DashnCars]

@@davtm_17m93 heck yeah! That would be a great looking rig. These are BFGoodrich KM2s that I picked up online, can't recall where but they're pretty easy to look up.

[@1991falken]

Did you get any front CV axle issues with this lift ? Did you put spacers to get THE engine/trans lowered ? I just did My shuttle with a 2" lift and THE front axels started so make horribel sounds and after a few days they also started to vibrate. THE axels vere fine before THE lift....

[@DashnCars]

No but you'll need to experiment with your setup. If you go 2" or so from a kit, usually you're fine but it could be a multitude of things. Check axles and driveshaft too

[@TheHondaman198]

Interested in this selectable four wheel drive

[@DashnCars]

As am I! I'm really close to the preliminary proof of concept for the VC replacement. Should be close to completion of at least a proof of concept before the year is over.

[@209malo]

Clean!

[@DashnCars]

Thanks dude! Camera makes it look cleaner than it really is, but it's well taken care of :D

[@nateherner6872]

yo man, how did you lift your civic, i wanna make mine that big!!! 😝

[@DashnCars]

Nate Herner listen... you get outta here you big ole bully!

[@abagle0514]

Absolutely interested in manual 4wd

[@DashnCars]

Andrew Bagley Good deal! I'm going to try my prototype first. Once thats all good to go, then I'll machine the parts. Ill keep you all posted

[@doitalldavey8788]

Andrew Bagley I agree you can pull it off.

[@artkingofwholefoods74]

Sir. What is that black tube on the top driver’s side of you’re roof rack?

[@randybeltrame2906]

Is there any way you guys can get a differential locking device for the Civic wagons because that seems to be the problem I'm watching the guy with the red one and the guy with the battlewagon they seem to have trouble with one wheel spinning

[@DashnCars]

So I've done a ton of research into this and what I'm doing is the closest to a fully locked diff as we can get. I'm doing LSD in the front and rear and a rebuilt viscous coupler with thicker fluid. A truly locked system would destroy the transfer case. You can check out some of my other videos to see my research into this!

[@boostedbudgetbuilds2485]

Anyone ever do this on a eg? Got a Del Sol thinking of lifting just for fun.

[@DashnCars]

Yup! Few dudes on Lifted Honda Society on Facebook have lifted EGs. Very similar to the Ef lifts.

[@boostedbudgetbuilds2485]

Dash-n-Cars can you use the same parts?

[@DashnCars]

BoostedBudgetBuilds I bet you can use the same struts. Do a little digging and check out what the other guys are using for the 92-95. I'm not super familiar with their lifts yet.

[@afx31_]

Hey, I know this is a old video but I've come back to it as I'm currently trying to lift my wagon with a similar front suspension setup. I'm having trouble trying to fit it however as the strut + fork is 2" taller than the factory wagon setup. I tried unbolting the LCA from the subframe but when jacking it back up it seemed to just lift the car instead (I'll have to try again). Just wondering if you faced any difficulties when doing it. Thanks! :)

[@DashnCars]

Man every wagon I've ran into has been hard to put together with the lift. It takes just the right movement and then it'll go together. Just keep fighting it! It's not easy but it's worth it

[@afx31_]

@@DashnCars fair fair. I do have a different method in mind. It seemed like the shock wouldny compress upwards so it lifted the car instead.

[@DashnCars]

@@afx31_ try to unbolt the lower control arm and use some Jack's to get it back lined up

[@zachsummers3321]

That would be awseam to have a true 4wd lever for the car

[@DashnCars]

Zach Summers I've got something figured out, once I get the prototype tried out then we'll be close.

[@TheMontagGarage]

Lhh did you just try coming at boosted boiz😂😂 c'mon man respect your KZbin elders

[@DashnCars]

I've known Kyle for a lonnng time now. I was poking at him to get back at the wagon! I guess it worked 😁so glad to see the K series in the wago

[@christianxzowner2958]

💪are you first or theres other..♥️🤙

[@DashnCars]

There are a lot nowadays! I tried to break new ground with the wagon learning from the old lifted forefathers!

[@austincrump3087]

What’s the song in the intro?

[@DashnCars]

I wish I could remember, it was off of Epidemic music which is a site that I use for my channel

[@joshmoore7300]

I have a 91 civic wagon fwd ya think it'd be worth it to lift it a little bit? Cause the dirt roads around here are pretty rough

[@DashnCars]

Absolutely! A good junkyard lift like I had here would be perfect. Just enough lift and cheap!
