How to lift a 2017-2023 Honda Ridgeline 2.5 inches with the HRG Offroad lift kit

[@CampingRandy]

Had a great time hanging out for the weekend and installing this sick a$$ lift!

[@jamespugh]

Just sub to your channel 🎉

[@paulny61]

Wow guy’s! Great video and appreciate the humor. It’s great to see HRG and Camping Randy providing products for the Ridgeline community. 🤙🏻☕️

[@CampingRandy]

Stopping by the read comments. Thanks so much. Ben & I have a great time.

[@frock512]

A fellow tech installed a 2.5 in lift at our dealership for a promo not sure the brand but it looks great on the 2022

[@CampingRandy]

It’s a whole different looking vehicle for sure.

[@5353iceman]

Wow, watching this video I see how much the suspension and subframes have changed from the last generation. I like the look of your front bumper. I need to make one. I have a 2011 Pilot and will be replacing all of my suspention. At the same time installing a 2 inch lift. Thanks fir the detailed video

[@CampingRandy]

DO IT!!!!

[@tombley8731]

I wish you guys would have shown better video of the finished product outside in the parking lot.🙃

[@CampingRandy]

There are tons of pics on my Instagram

[@Cgh432]

We love Randy 👍 you guys are awesome!

[@CampingRandy]

Thanks!!!!

[@thespacecowboy420]

That cover is keeping you from getting rocks in the U join which would be catastrophic

[@gordonhoward606]

Great view, I used HRG AWESOME PRODUCT ,

[@dilligaf7321]

I have a 2012 Ridgeline rooftop tent awning shower water tank recommendations for lift kit without losing performance y'all have a good day great information Godspeed

[@CampingRandy]

This is the kit!!!!

[@LueYang-q9z]

What do you recommend for daily driving? Since this kit is only for Offroad, is this also good for daily? Thanks hope to see your response.

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! TOTALLY AWSOME UPGRADE!!!! GREAT VIDEO & EDUCATION. THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

[@YishayFanijamaa]

Really enjoyed this video...with a little two Stoodges Feel!

[@EpicAlcatraz99]

Ready for the 2024 Ridgeline Trailsport.

[@kennydonofrio]

where does the HRG shop work out of and how much does it cost for a 2020 install? Good stuff

[@GotterAdventure]

Can't wait to hit the trails with you guys again! Great Video!

[@CampingRandy]

See you next month!!!!

[@2SanityAtitsBest2]

Thanks for sharing guys. Really appreciate it.

[@sebastienheujeune7045]

how much it ll cost for the kit .. Thx !! ( also do I need to change the size of the tires too !!?? ... I ve 18 inch rims tires .. )

[@patrickbrown2193]

Well, I am installing a lift just like that on my 2016 Honda pilot and essentially the same assembly and everything. My biggest struggle is putting the lower control arm ball joint back in the hub assembly. It won’t go.

[@popeyerubi1981]

Hello. When you lift the Ridgeline, does it lose ride quality? I’m asking because one of the best features of the Ridgeline is that the ride quality is better than most trucks, it’s like an SUV ride, correct?

[@hrg_tv]

There is no ride quality penalty with this kit.

[@popeyerubi1981]

@@hrg_tv thank you!!

[@alphawolfadventures1470]

So my situation is I won’t be doing crazy off-road stuff but I do like to ride soft sand beach that has big ruts. I’m guessing clearance will be an issue so what’s the best solution for me to get some clearance? 1.5” lift and skid plate? End of the day I’d like to get just enough to do it with the least mpg penalty and alteration from factory ride

[@CampingRandy]

Yes - that’s the beginner kit! 😅

[@HyPeDCommando]

Cool vid! What is the front bumper guard you have installed? It looks sick

[@jamespugh]

Just stopped by ur channel. This great looking Honda ridgeline ! Always like them even old body . Kind wish hond made them true 4x4 vs awd and kind made a street vs of their rally truck with wide fender and turbo. As of lift what is street lift to be level add off road tires? How compare this new offerings from hyundai santa cruz? And ford maverick?

[@mikebradshaw8530]

I WOULD love to see how it looks if you showed how it looked 🤔

[@e5m956]

Yea no kidding.

[@johnbehneman1546]

SUGGESTION: RECARO FRONT BUCKET SEATS.

[@tstoneami]

I know it's not the point, but wondering what the change of ride quality on the road is...

[@jondabond]

Curious questions about the lift kit. Does the Traxda 3.5 lift drops the engine too? I’ve seen Camping Randy’s video on his truck and it looks weird being dropped. I think he has the HRG kit.

[@sjmillerjr]

Can the sub frame kit be done without having done the 1.5 front/rear kits from the previous installation? My thinking could be wrong, but wouldn't that net you only a 1" gain but would leave drive train axles in their original position. Someone enlighten me.

[@Lee-San247]

You never showed what it looked like when you were done! C’mon!

[@Steveriknows]

I can't find a shop that will do this in Kelowna, BC.

[@BlessedVeteranAdventures]

Looks great. Def helps to have 2 ppl.

[@CampingRandy]

Everything is pretty easy but putting in the front strut as well opening up the lower control arm. Everything else is a one person job.

[@BlessedVeteranAdventures]

@@CampingRandy Thats what im having trouble with. One person pushes down on the axle and the other pushes the coilover into the forks. I have stock and they are longer than aftermarket. i might take the lower arm off maybe thatll help.

[@johnbehneman1546]

SUGGESTION: KC OFF ROAD LIGHTS.

[@bassnrat1812]

Hey Randy!

[@CampingRandy]

WHAT UP MAN!!!!!!

[@iancarrillo7912]

With a 2.5 inch lift what size tires can you fit w/out rub and no spacer?

[@CampingRandy]

30.5”

[@dougnygren762]

How many shops could do this kind of work. i would want to know they can do it right.

[@CampingRandy]

On hrgoffroad.com, Ben has recommended shops for install.

[@javierramos9795]

How does this affect the angle on the axle? Will it still be to “spec” to prevent unusual wear?

[@hrg_tv]

The truck in the video has been lifted for many years now, and so far has not had any issues. However, lifting any IFS vehicle will increase axle angles. It is a trade off to gain additional ground clearance under the engine. This increased angle will most definitely increase the wear on the axles.

[@johnbehneman1546]

SUGGESTION: FOUR WHEELER MAGAZINE

[@mikeferrato9831]

Looks nice man! Any plans to do a Pilot video? Or is the Ridgeline pretty much the same as the Pilot?

[@CampingRandy]

Exactly the same however the strut tower is different on the rear of the Pilot and Passport vs Ridgeline.

[@martinhogan5612]

After a two inch lift kit installed front and back did you have to have all your tires realigned ? I was thinking two inch lift keeping my stock tires and tire size.

[@kevinmcdonald1917]

Great skill by the tech

[@johnbanwarth5733]

I have an 2021 ridgeline sport and would love to do atleast 1.5 lift ..... Do you have to use wheel spacers? iv also been looking at a bed rack and roof rack to do more camping like stuff

[@CampingRandy]

No wheels spacers needed. I did spacers for a wider stance look.

[@CampingRandy]

Check out my KZbin & Instagram. Let me know if have any questions!

[@jg8263]

Fyi, eibach now makes springs to replace the stock spring of the coil over/strut. Gives 1.3 inches in the front and 0.3 in the rear. Cheap and easy. Couple that with a small lift or larger tires and you got a nice modest lift.

[@johnbehneman1546]

SUGGESTION: GENERAL ALL TERRAIN TIRES

[@johnbehneman1546]

SUGGESTION: SEMA 2023.

[@chownzi2461]

I've never once taken off a sway bar link without a grinder

[@SketchbookStudioo]

Is there any reason not to put the three inch lift on it?

[@bikebudha01]

I went with 30.5" tires, and they rub (2" lift). But they only rub full lock in reverse (which is weird). Do you have a link to a video where you 'cut back' to eliminate tire rub?

[@joemontalvo50]

I have 2019 Honda CRV can I do it on CRV the same lift kit

[@CampingRandy]

No, but HRG has CRV kits! Check it out!

[@limeyprat]

...after this, what is the largest tire size it will accept? I feel like I've seen this gen. Honda running on 32's or 33's

[@lennykibbs260]

Would you take the truck to cape lookout NC with the lift, how about without the lift.. factory height?

[@scottdavenport4901]

All that work…. No before and after pictures? No quick measure of ground clearance?

[@iSeaUnplugged]

On say 2023 would u loss your warranty for doing this from Honda

[@mdgf79]

Randy awesome build , question on the tires ,I have 1.5" wheel spacers and if i do go with the 265/50r20 and a 2.5" lift will i have rubbing issues ?

[@CampingRandy]

No rubbing - you may have some backing up at full steering wheel.

[@shinjiJD]

How do you clean the center console if you get pop on the door and it barely opens?

[@Ram14250]

After all that and you didn't show us the finished truck stance? Very disappointing.

[@JohnDoe-mh8tm]

Why not just put a 12" body lift and 44 Boggers?

[@highendtrends3508]

This wouldn’t fit on a 2016 pilot?

[@MrBigFishJoe]

Does this lift change the angle of the drive shafts/CV and cause wear? I’ve seen some videos that show them where out at 30,000 miles because the angle tears them up.

[@pawg206]

can you post the link here? I'm trying to learn more about these before buying em.

[@kevinteran5624]

Whats that front bumper?

[@danielvalenzuela2117]

What bumper is that?

[@tjgrafiks]

when you add spacers or lift kit. do u need new stabilizer links/bars bcuz the length is different?

[@hrg_tv]

YES, THE SWAY BAR LINKS ARE SPECIFIC TO LIFTED APPLICATIONS AND ARE INCLUDED AS PART OF OUR KIT

[@tjgrafiks]

@@hrg_tv Does any of your kits fit a Honda Crossroad years 2007-2010? I have a 2008 2L FWD It's a Japanese Model only sold in Japan. they didn't bring to the US bcuz it would compete with CRV/Element sales. it's slightly smaller than the crv but seems to sit a little higher off the ground.

[@FaizulHoque]

Hey, is there something going on with you website? I cant seem to able to get acess to make a purchase

[@DustyCowdog]

Dang, I didn't realize how simple this is.... I'm gonna' do that to mine tonight. :-/ hahahahaha

[@CampingRandy]

Did you get it done?

[@DustyCowdog]

@@CampingRandy --Oh man... sorry. I was just joking. I don't even have one. I have been looking at these trying to decide what I want to aim for. But my original comment was my form of sarcasm... because that is something I would have to farm out. I have no skills. Love your videos, though! Cheers!

[@g0dSpEaR]

What kind of bumper is that

[@rroberts509]

How did he not hear his suspension making noise lol. Did you guys remember to tighten the spacer?

[@hrg_tv]

What video are you talking about?

[@CampingRandy]

It didn’t make noise. That’s what’s insane!!!!

[@mattmaughon5550]

How do you calibrate the cameras

[@battambangfarmers2858]

Hi, this kit fit 09 pilot

[@MrBigFishJoe]

What brand of kit is it?

[@wilfriedgronau5052]

do not let your insurance watch this video

[@hrg_tv]

Why would my insurance company care about a youtube video showing a couple of dudes modifying a vehicle?

[@18jchandler]

No thread-locking compound or torque wrench in sight. lol No wonder the one side was missing bolts and loose.

[@MusicStillRules]

explaining the spacers made no sense. i get the question but did not get the answer.

[@gnd111]

2023 Sport has all that lane mitigation crap...lol

[@iSeaUnplugged]

Camping randy really lol

[@AphexTwinII]

If you wanted an off road truck then why would you buy a Honda? Just doesn't make any sense but, here's 25 minutes of two men trying to justify it. Comparing to a Jeep or a Toyota rear axel is really a stretch guys.

[@hrg_tv]

Thank you for watching to the end.

[@AphexTwinII]

@@hrg_tv LOL

[@DowntownCharlieBrown-w5c]

Buy a small truck and make it big? Buy a bigger truck sounds smarter.

[@gary6902]

What kinda $$$ are we talking about all in 2017 here

[@RobustArid379]

You should of bought a ZR2 or Taco instead

[@randymiller5008]

Question is. Why would I buy a Ridgeline to begin with , if I was looking for a Truck to Lift ??? 🙄 Just because you can. Doesn't mean you should.

[@jubjon]

How about the overall Family Ride ? Mamma is throwing up a red flag!
