How to lift your 2002-06 CRV 3 inches with the HRG Ultimate kit!!

[@IkarosCanFly]

Im jealous of how rust free that CRV is

[@TheRealZambrano]

Me too 😭

[@miakmo59]

Its because its not a crv, They are working on a Honda Element

[@2fastg35]

Where do you live?

[@thainnei]

Thanks for the big help I got 02 CRV I’m going to do it too.

[@victorp7555]

My driveshaft loop is exactly the same way. Bent in the same spot exactly. I think it’s to keep front from hitting the body, the rear is a true safety loop

[@Leader2light]

Same, it always seemed weird to me.

[@tomasashenafi882]

I recommend the 1.5in lift. Theyll fit it upto 30 in tires no problem. No drop needed. I have a minimum of 12" clearance on my 05 crv.

[@EATSLEEPJD]

No axle issues ? Front and back 1.5?

[@tomasashenafi882]

@@EATSLEEPJD none. But you may need wheel spacers when going thick tires.

[@tomasashenafi882]

@@EATSLEEPJD but the boot will rip for sure if you're using old front axles. Rear will be fine

[@EATSLEEPJD]

@@tomasashenafi882 ah gotchu. Just picked up a 2005 for my KZbin. Researching about the lifts now.

@@tomasashenafi882 thank you.

[@anthonysavage6155]

Lol watching that brake line stretching while you fought strut to go back in

[@darothc]

Awesome video! I recently just purchased an 04 CRV. I will ordering a lift soon.

[@henfieldchimneysweep]

Anyone have a link to buy this kit or similar please 🙏

[@SRZRB]

Is the follow up video still a thing?

[@chuckym1068]

Nice video. Wish we could have seen a before and after shot.

[@bananapuffcream1]

The instructions say to use the m12x60 on the driver side for the transmission but your video says to use the 70. Which one is correct? Only asking since it’s your video and your kit but it’s contradicting each other.

[@kaziboygamer]

i appreciate you uploading this video i am so excited to install this on my future CRV can't wait till we see more updates on other videos you do. thank you very much happy new year. :)

[@rodolfoegonia9107]

Can u pls help me provide a complete list of spacers and the soecs of bolts to buy. And where to buy this complete sets

[@hrg_tv]

hrgoffroad.com sells everything you need

[@evisceratemtg6141]

One of the spacers near the power steering doesn't fit at all and will have to be ground down in order to fit correctly on my 2004 honda crv

[@HMOOB-nm3su]

At 15:10 I'm more concern about the rubber brake line that's gonna snap when you pride down to make that strut fit in...LOL

[@justinsenart9271]

The camber bolt u put at the end, I’m confused as to what you do with that. I’m a noob when it comes to Honda’s and suspension

[@mik3lawry953]

Need a video install on the 6" kit. I have the 3" and maybe considering getting the 6" but wanted to see the differences/installation first😬

[@giovanniramirez4050]

Awesome work!!!!! Thank you..... Now i can buy the kit😊😊

[@lovegodessmls28]

how has this effected drive feel, transmission shifts, and mileage

[@hrg_tv]

The mileage is not effected by the lift, but by installing larger, heavier tires, roof baskets, and heavy off-road gear. The lift does cause poor on-road handling. The engine and transmission will seem sluggish after installing larger, heavier tires. If your main concerns are mileage and handling you may want to consider leaving your vehicle stock.

[@corpseplague]

Im about to install your 1.5" lift and leveling kit. Would you say the poor handling applies to this smaller lift as well?

[@YoungAmzn]

⁠@@hrg_tvI just wanted lifted a bit with big tires. No off road gear or roof basket nothing. Should I b fine?

[@garylloyd1084]

Hi what where the actual measurements of the spacers as I can't get it. Because they say the are 1.5inch rear but how does that make it a 3inch lift?? Many thanks Gary

[@AzianAssassin]

It's the geometry. The 1.5in spacers are inboard to the frame enough, that the resulting lift between tire and wheel well makes it 3 inches.

[@mlkaos]

Hey brother, I just ordered your kit. I’m gonna install it tomorrow Sunday 10/6/2024 on 2002 Honda CRV and I think they took down your video. I tried to scan it and it shows no video on the Kit.

[@unadultratedtrini]

Not seeing the lift kit for the gen two on your site :/

[@hegotgame8]

I just recently bought this lift kit and barely put it on today. There seems to be vibration coming from the front when I accelerate any thoughts? One thing I didn't do is rotate the top of the spacer 180 degrees I don't think the instructions said to do that, why did you do that?

[@hrg_tv]

Juan you bought a 2 inch kit. This video is for the 3 inch

[@martinnedyalkov9185]

Ben for the drop kit Why put a larger hole spacer on the spikes just to accommodate the lip? Just mill the smaller spacer a bit wired on the bottom. The way you are doing it now puts way too much pressure on the bottom and its more prone to snap.

[@hrg_tv]

I understand what you are saying but that’s is not true based on our experience. The large hole spacer fits flush.There is no additional pressure and the wider hole has nothing to do with the tip. The bolts in fact do snap easily when people install the spacers incorrectly. I actually explain this in the video at 4:10. At one point we were drilling the smaller ones out but it added labor cost and people were still installing them wrong. It didn’t solve anything so we switched to a spacer that was already the correct size.. It’s worth mentioning there are guys that have had this kit correctly installed for 3 years and counting, trouble-free.

[@martinnedyalkov9185]

@@hrg_tv Just saw your comment. Yes, I saw that in the video but the way it is now you are putting all the stress on the lip. Which is preferable to the alternative, but it's still not the best way to do it. I don't know anything about the production I guess it makes sense to have a different item for this position to avoid people messing it up.. Just saying it can be better. Let's hope we all drive our cars trouble-free.

[@hrg_tv]

@@martinnedyalkov9185 Your statement implies that we have no idea what we are doing. You might be right about that, but we are always learning and improving our products. We noticed the failures you are worried about do actually happen but only when the spacers aren’t installed properly. So the real challenge is showing the proper way, which I feel like we have accomplished with this video.

[@BIGTAGGART]

Why does the subframe and motor mounts need spacers why not just the struts

[@imeldalugares3322]

Where are you located? Can you do this to my 2006 Honda CR-V? How much it cost? I’m in Long Island New York! I really like the way you work.

[@edgarsolano3761]

Hello hrg fam I did a 3in strut spacer lift on my 2gen and now having trouble with alignment too much positive camber. I installed front camber bolts but only helped a little would the engine drop kit fix the problem

[@hrg_tv]

The engine drop kit only drops the engine 1/4”, it does not affect suspension geometry. Your best bet is to install a shorter spacer. A 3 inch spacer is too tall for these. 2.5 is pushing it and works best with a 1” subframe drop.

[@edgarsolano3761]

I order the engine drop and subframe drop it’s a 2wd hopefully works a little better

[@edgarsolano3761]

Why would u sell a 3in lift if it’s not going to work

[@kraftyc7700]

@@hrg_tv curious also HRG, why sell a 3" kit if the positive camber will always be too much?

[@stephenwhite7304]

Excellent video , very informative. I spaced the handbrake cables from the body aswell tho.

[@Triple259772]

I’m having trouble aligning my subframe again, if I put one bolt in on one side, the other side is too far over for me to thread in the bolt

[@jimle6916]

What size wheels are on the crv and what offset?

[@Jack_Move]

I know this video is old now, But does anyone have the link to the After lift kit installed driving video? Could not find it on the channel.

[@2fastg35]

I just received mine in the mail. Is this meant for the average person to install step by step?

[@bobbysilver272]

An excellent video with great explanations. However, is it really worth all the work? Especially if you don't have a garage to do it in.

[@mik3lawry953]

Only you can answer that question and no one else.

[@tjgrafiks]

should you always use a taller spacer on the front than the rear?

[@hrg_tv]

IT DEPENDS ON THE DESIRED STANCE. IF YOU PREFER THE REAR TO SIT 2 OR MORE INCHES HIGHER THAN THE FRONT, YOU WOULD USE THE SAME SIZE SPACERS FRONT AND REAR.

[@tjgrafiks]

@@hrg_tv thanks for the info

Hi there HRG, I can lift my cr-v , whit only strut spacer, And need use spacer wheels. My idea is install tire 225 /75/15 Thanks for answering.

That front driveshaft safety loop is in the correct spot, it does NOT loop through. I know because I've done a ton of research on this exact topic 🤣

[@danielgardzina6982]

could you explain ?

[@Mrfree1]

Howd you get the spare tire to mount? Did you use a spacer?

[@venanciopinto4868]

Do we need drop kit for subframe/engine/transmission when installing 2 inch spacer?

[@jofilmz693]

I currently ordered a 2” lift spacer for front and rear it should be fine without it but i would replace your sway bar links and ball joints

[@jofilmz693]

Theres gonna be a lot more tension on those parts so replacing them would be the best option

[@rmo6693]

I have a 2006 Honda Crv, what measures of wheels and tires does the truck support?

Is it necessary to change the tire into higher size as well?

Cheesy body spacers. Also, if you remove the front lower control arm bolts installing rear struts is a lot easier.
