How To Install a 2.5 Inch Lift Kit On a 2003 Honda Pilot

[@TexasHondaChannel]

I tried pinning a post awhile back and its not here but DON'T GET THE ADJUSTABLE CAMBER ARMS THEY KEEP GIVING POSITIVE CAMBER FOR ME AND EVERYONE ELSE, I ENDED UP NOT GETTING THEM AND MY ALINMENT WAS FINE WITHOUT THEM.

[@luisa.mendezmolina3408]

Excuse me, but each one with his own. It bothers me that people who want to help other people, so that life is more pleasant by demonstrating what they do to save money with these videos, a person comes who does not make any kind of auto mechanic videos and those not know nothing about it, dares to comment on things out of place. You dedicate yourself to musical instruments and music and let others show their skills without criticizing. We are going to see the videos of what skills you have in addition to the instruments and the music. Texas Honda Channel, I congratulate you for showing videos of how to make modifications to the Honda Pilot. Keep doing them. The People who have these cars we thank you. Ignore critics who do not contribute anything to help others.

Always killing it. The pilot mean now.

For sure man! Gotta get that light bar on now.

Thanks and i strongly agree!

Hey! That Pilot is getting meaner by the day! Gonna watch the rest of the vid 😉

End of the video is most important I’m glad I watch to the end! And you said :God bless! Thanks for that! God bless to you too and your family ! This car better and better! 👍 good job

[@jmo2321]

Love your videos! Just did mine with the same kit. All went well except I accidentally forgot to remove time two 10mm bolts for the abs sensor on the left rear and broke the wire. 🤦‍♂️

Looks nice!! I have a 2007 honda pilot ex-l 4wd same motor you have in yours. I'm wanting to do a lift as well glad you made a video and put the links in the description. Awesome ride man.

[@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN]

The 03-04 motors are different, as are the 2005, and the 2006-2008. They are all Honda J-series in all Pilots, but there are differences.

[@unknownuser1678]

You made this look easy not mentioning needing a spring compressor or 2 people. Bent a prybar trying to get this to go together and damage to the axle boot is possible. The front end is an absolute nightmare to put together. I don't recommend anyone do this alone unless you're experienced with these issues.

[@jimgoltry5383]

I’m having trouble with my front struts seems like I need to use spring compressor? Can you put them on with the strut up on the vehicle?

[@lwyrup3860]

he used the jack instead of a spring compressor

[@davidmunoz5752]

Sweet set up... just a few things where did you get the front grill from as well the roof rack please and thank you... if you can send link that’s would be amazing....

[@austinsanchez4107]

now we def need a pick of my lifted crv and the pilot but lets wait till i can get the crv painted and raptor lined

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Right!

[@redbear_70]

Good looking pilot. How does all those mods affect the gas mileage?

[@CM-qn4io]

Size and offset of your wheels? That is a sick stance even without the lift.

[@getmoneynow9876]

What size are your rims and tires and do you have a spacers installed?

[@mauriciodominguez198]

Nice job I have one 2005 I want to lift thank you

[@sheacameron5347]

Hey man!! Super inspiring build you got happening here. I have an 05 Pilot and will be installing the 2.5" front 2" rear lift kit once my rims come in so I can put the bigger tires on it right away. I am so happy to see that 245/75's are doable with 0 offset plus spacers with very minimal cutting. I was having a hell of a time finding any info on that because my wheels will be -5 offset (praying i don't need spacers to clear the caliper haha). I'm torn between going to 245/70's or 245/75's but I'm wondering if you think the 245's would fit without cutting with the 2.5" lift installed? 2 more quick questions for you, did you notice a significant decrease in fuel milage and power after installing the kit and 75's? And what size spacers did you put on there to clear the calipers? Looking forward to hearing from you!

[@franciscomariani]

Greetings friend, I just watched your video and I found it very interesting, I have a 2005 Pilot and I want to do the same, but I don't know where to buy the spacers and everything else that you used to lift your pilot, I live in Florida and I would like you to Will you help to lift my slingshot? Thanks and good luck man.

[@edwinperalta8977]

I love the way how it looks Great I have honda pilot 2007 I would like to do like yours what kínd of rigs and the size the y are and also the tires the size

[@newblue41]

Before I work on a car, especially the suspension components, I pressure wash or go through spray wash. Man, it makes the job way more pleasant and clean.

[@wilzedens8676]

Hi there Texas Honda Channel. I have an '04 pilot. I also have a complete 2.5" spacers kit. My question is, do I need to go get the rear camber to fit or can I simply still use my OEM equipment? Please help, any advice is acceptable good or bad.

[@mr.18s73]

I have a 2003 Honda Pilot with 139,500 og miles and really thinking of decking it out like yours I’m a Chevy guy to be honest v8 engines, but that Honda is calling me 😂 it’s just been sitting for 2 years just waiting for me to do something with it ?

[@ghandigps5]

Will removing the Cadillac converter will it meet the truck sound different? As in a Good Different? I also have a lifted Honda Pilot.. Thanks Again.. And Plz "KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING WORK" it really helps.. #Facts #YouRock

I have a J35 in my SUV with a 2wd H5 autotragic and I need a replacement intermediate shaft, would the same ones you mentioned fit mine?

[@thaochou7376]

For the front kit how do u know witch side is for witch

[@oliveryimbo]

Yoooo you ever find out??! Got the same question right now

[@luisdiaz7981]

What kind of rims you have?

[@vintagetrk]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.How many miles on your rig? I’m at a 194k

[@jmo2321]

Were you able to properly align the rear camber? I installed the lift with the rear camber arms and the rear arms are too long at their shortest setting they’re about 1/4” longer than the OEM arms and I end up with too much positive camber.

[@GotterAdventure]

Very good tutorial!

[@brenttesterman1198]

Thanks buddy boy! Do you think it's worth lifting a front wheel drive? God Bless you and Texas!

[@whyyouknowthat]

Very NICE. Where did you get the lift kits from?

[@jaimeandrescoghi4183]

What size tires are you using?

[@jimgoltry5383]

Did you have to loosen the axle nut to get the strut back in with the lift spacer on. I keep trying but axle pops out of it’s joint. Struggling

[@touchscreenhiro]

Was there any wobbles on accelerating from the axles? Idk if I should buy the subframe drop kit or not as well

[@mrnk85]

I did a 2" lift on mine and put 245/70/16 tires with stock rims, and I have vibrations. I also did a subframe drop and still have the same vibration accelerating at low speed after 25 mph it goes away. I am gonna change the CV Axle next and see if that fixes the problem. If not, I will remove everything and put it back to stock. Wasted time and money.

It handles amazing and no vibration

[@RiskyRobot]

Hey James, I just installed the same 2.5 inch freedom offroad lift for my 2005 pilot. I'm planning on getting a 16x8 setup as well and was curious if you would recommend the 245/75/16 you currently have or a 255/70/16 as I originally intended? If I went 245/75 with the lift considered, do you think I would still need to cut part of the front bumper because of the taller tires? I'd appreciate any input, thanks!

[@rhd-integra775]

What size tire you end up using

[@rhd-integra775]

I'm thing of using goodyear duratrac 245 75r16 on my stock rim

[@crazyredneck4931]

Does anyone have a lead on a lift that doesn't use spacers? They're illegal in PA although not technically stated. I asked the guy while it was getting inspected and he said they don't allow anything that puts space between a suspension component and it's mounting point and that I should just get bigger springs/shocks if I want a lift.

[@nareik8393]

I know it’s been five months but if you haven’t found anything go and look up Flat Out Suspension, they have adjustable coils that can achieve up to three inches of lift. Also have financing if the price makes you wanna 🤮
