Truxxx Lift kit-Web page change?

So i have been debateing the truxxx kit for a few months, and have spend hours reading what everyone has had to say. I have been looking at the web page, and they now advertise 2" in the front and rear. Has anyone recieved one of these "new" kits? Pictures of the kit? With tape to show change from old 2"ft 1.5"rear?

Some one needs to step it up and show us whats what.

Its a 2 inch front 1.5 inch rear I don't know why they don't put the right thing down. Member 92se-r just ordered his last week and was disappointed that it wasn't a front and back 2 inch. But the truxxx lift kit is labeled lift/level kit since the back is .5 inches taller than the front stock. You get a full 2 inch lift when its all said and done due to the factory set up. I currently have the truxxx lift kit and bfg mud terrain tires for a combined lift of 3 inches and to be honest you don't notice or miss the extra .5 inch lift on the rear it looks perfect to me anyways. Ill post pics when I get home of my truck for you. But as far as mistyping on their website I guess they are referring to the overall lift being 2 inches and not the technical measurement of the parts. That's usually how lift kits are sold by inch liftsm

For instance if you buy a 5 inch cst lift for a jeep wrangler you don't go out and measure every single spring and block and shocks you just bolt the stuff on measure your fender to wheel height and bumper to ground height which equals 5 inches of lift. The same can be done on the ridgeline and you will have exactly 2 inches lift all the way around the same measurement off the front tires to fenders as the rear tires. The truxxx kit is the best out there in my opinion. I vouch for it and if you seen my truck you would agree.

Here are the pics of my truck with the truxxx lift kit. I think its hilarious people will complain about .5" those are the people who only look for a reason to not buy a lift kit when they have no intention of getting a lift in the first place. So back to useful info nay sayers move on to someone else who wont buy a lift kit unless you can actually contribute. Thanks:rolleyes:

there was another similar discussion on the roc and they pointed out that the rear springs are more in board so that is greater mechanical advantage in the rear than the front. I dont know the geometry specifics or the truxx design engineers mind set, but it seems they also felt the truck may benefit from some level correction. The key difference when adding a block or shackle to a leaf spring is that you pretty much get whatever height that the spacers adds, not so simple with A arms. I think the lift looks great and a good addition if it benefits you for any reason.

I may kind of my terms basswards, because from a lever perspective, the rear A arm has more mechanical advantage on the rear spring, but still a shorter spacer on the rear has a greater effective lift than in the front if you know what I mean?

Some one needs to step it up and show us whats what.The skyjacker kit is an available option to you if you like myself don't want a leveling kit. http://www.skyjacker.com/products/products_search/detail/?id=103896

The skyjacker kit is a pain to install you have loose nuts and bolts to squeeze together and use wrecnh and ratchet to tighten it down. The truxxx has pressed in studs which makes it a simple one man install the skyjacker would take 2 or 3 since someone has to hold the wrench while you tighten the nuts in the engine bay. Plus the truxxx lift is recommended by honda and run on their race trucks with no problems. Like i say since i actually do own a lift kit and know what im talking about, the .5" is not noticeable or missed. Plus putting the rear suspension is pretty tough since the swing arm only comes down so far so i barely got my 1.5" rear together so an extra .5" will be a nightmare. If you need anymore peoples recommendation on the truxxx lift ill give you a list of names who actually own, enjoy, and know what their talking about unlike the previous poster. ChrisM, SilverRidge08, and Shep53 to name a few.

Nowhere has Honda ever recommended this kit or any other aftermarket component to Ridgeline owners so take that for what it's worth. I'm not the only person who doesn't care for the rake on the Truxx kit.:rolleyes:

Wow that's funny I love people who don't have a clue about what they are talking about and just a little fyi honda does use the kit on their race trucks and sema projects plus you don't have a lift kit and probably never will just like the rest who don't have one and only looks for the negatives to make them seem cool that they are scared to lift their trucks. If you don't wanna lift yours them move on to another thread since this guy is actually interested in a lift kit but if he is just full of crap like yourself then I'm through wasting my time explaining what the search feature would have told everyone to begin with

Honda might us the Truxx kit on Sema and Baja Ridgelines but has never recommended it to consumers so cut the **** and move on.:)

Ill believe it when I see it

Honda specifically went with the Truxxx Lift for the Honda Motocross team truck because of it's design! That's saying something for the Truxxx Lift I'd say.

I have the Truxxx kit installed a friend has the Skyjacker. We both have several thousand miles on them with no problems. His does sit .5" higher in the rear but I have the front links :D. He puts more miles (over 100,000) on and is on his third set of tires. I'm still looking for my second before winter sets in. I've seen both I half to agree with 07 rtx about Truxx install being easier. I also thought the quality was better. When I park next to my friend you can hardley tell the difference, when I park next to a stocker you can tell right away. Have you seen in person any lifts yet Mr Bigs.

Have you seen in person any lifts yet Mr Bigs.Yes I have when my truck went in for its first service another guy had an RL with the Truxx kit on it in front of me. The Skyjacker kit won't be an issue for me to install because I have a lift and plenty of tools available to me. Right now time is the only issue for me,I have the roof rack ,bug guard and a whole bunch of audio equipment to install also.

Is it a Honda recommended accessory ? ,No it isn't I never doubted it was used by Honda but the Baja truck also had a special Hondata reflash and custom modified exhaust which neither are recommended by Honda for consumers to put on their trucks.

Your just adding words now to try to make yourself seem right just move on get a life accept your wrong I have plenty of supporters behind me. When you wake up and are really looking for a lift kit and want to be reasonable then someone even myself with an ase certification and 2 years honda tech experience will gladly help out. Till them you might as well hang up your argument because you have already lost

Till them you might as well hang up your argument because you have already lostI don't have to add anything to make myself look right to you,who the hell are you? The fact is Honda does not support customers putting those aftermarket products on their vehicles period. If you want to say I lost fine :rolleyes: I can assure you I don't need any help from you.

When did I say it was recommended by Honda? Was just saying that Honda chose it for their Motocross Team Truck because of it's design.

Great attitude!:rolleyes:

Oh big man that's fine I didn't have all day to explain how to use tools and install a lift anyway good luck and for anyone who isn't full of crap and really are going to install a lift don't hesitate to ask me for help since I have a real truck a real lift kit and real experience. My imagination don't work as well as this guy. This thread really should be closed all it is is an argument over the same stuff that's been discussed a million times in this forum. Just use the search feature it will work wonders. I'm off to go back to work on real cars bye imaginary mechanic.

And I had no idea you were such a dumb a$$ but I guess we both learned something today

Wow, this is turning into a post like I had a few months ago!:p

I will say I saw a Skyjacker lift before I bought my Truxxx Lift. Thought the Truxxx was just an all around better design and looked more rugged. Just my .02 cents!

Here are the pics of my truck with the truxxx lift kit. I think its hilarious people will complain about .5" those are the people who only look for a reason to not buy a lift kit when they have no intention of getting a lift in the first place.

Hi. I am new to this site. I have an 07 RTL. Got a couple of questions... Did the lift effect the ride? Did you have any alignement issues? Drive shaft issues? ESC issues?

My Ridgeline rode just like stock after the install. You do have to get an alignment after installing a Truxxx Lift. No driveshaft, VSA, cv joint, etc. problems at all!

Sorry for stealing your thunder 07 rtx......lol!

Haha no worries bro but your right it does ride the exact same as stock and you do have to get an alignment but as far as catastrophic failures you have no worries mine has over 2000 miles and still doing great.

Thank you. Did you install yourself or have it done by a shop? What are Truxxx Lift's going for ($'s) and what is a reasonable price for install - that you have heard of.

Oh.. I will keep the OEM Wheels, but what is the next size tire I can go up to? 265?

Haha no worries bro but your right it does ride the exact same as stock and you do have to get an alignment but as far as catastrophic failures you have no worries mine has over 2000 miles and still doing great.

Thank you too 07 RTX. I assume I keep the OEM shocks. ??

Is any one with the any lift kit running a 255/65/17 tire
I do not want any rubbing/contact what so ever. (so much for the 245/70/17 KM2s that I was lusting over)
The wheel I am now looking at is the HanKook Dynapro ATm in 255/65/17

and FYI Mr. Big FatBobs Garage offers a great price on a 2" lift (front and back) with pressed studs. Check them out

Yes you keep your oem shocks. And my km2s don't rub they are 245/70/17 ant that's the biggest I would suggest without rubbing and having to do trimming and cutting

On top of the page it says search. This has been dissssscussssssed in length. and if you go back page or two here I know of someone that has over 100,000 miles on his without any issues and its a Skyjacker :D.

so you gain two inch's front and rear, while the actual block sizes are 2" and 1.5 " respectively?

Yes that's exactly what your lift is. The front and rear wheels measure the same height front and rear for an equal 2 inch lift

so its a 2 inch lift. not a 2in and 1.5 as people keep saying. so then the others are 2 and 2.5 respectivly?

It is a 2 inch front lift and 1.5 inch rear lift which will even the truck out at 2 inches all the way around with no .5 inch extra lift in the rear. The truck levels out and gets lifted this way no rake no lower front end just an even at all wheels lift. A full 2 inch lift would put the back .5 inches taller than the front as stock set up is. You could look at it as a 2.5 inch rear lift but my truck the one on the first page with pics is exactly 2 inches all the way around no rake and no sag. I have the truxxx 2 inch front and 1.5 inch rear lift kit n mine and it works flawlessly
