Truxxx has confirmed they are making a leveling kit and a lift kit as well. They will let anyone that contacts them as soon as it is ready to go. If you fill out the contact form you can get put on a list and be sure to mention this forum and I was told we get a discount. Just go to the Truxxx website and fill out the contact form, just be sure to mention the ridgeline owners club forum! :smile:

A wise man said it best.....

Ok, more info. I spoke with Robyn at Truxxx and she said it looks like anything over 1 3/4 inch in the front will require further mods than just spacers and sway bar link extensions. I am sending her a few measurements to see how much of a lift it will take to remove most of the rake. She said the 1 3/4 leveling kit should be ready in a few days but a larger "lift" would take a few more weeks. She wanted me to ask what people are looking for, to make the rake less pronounced or to lift the entire vehicle a couple inches. Thank you for any input and I will pass it along! :smile:

I took some measurements from the ground to the top of the apex of the wheel wells and the rear is almost exactly 2 inches higher than the front. A 1.5 or 1.75 front lift would seem to be about perfect if you still want a small rake. It would also still make it not look too squatted down in the rear with a load in the bed, if looking cool on the way back from Depot with several hundred pounds of mulch or plywood or stepping stones or 60 watt light bulbs is a concern.......:grin:

ok here is a pic of a 2" front only. This is another company that is working on a kit, not Truxxx. think the front might almost look too high on this. The 1.5 or 1.75 might be the way to go. Let me know your thoughts...

Well thanks Nancy............ LOL If people are that worried just leave it stock I guess. I have 20" wheels with 255/50 series and it drives just like the stock one I test drove. Dealer installed the tires and wheels but im sure I could have had discount tire do it as well. I just wanted to pick it up ready to go and not deal with it. But no way would I pay for the JSport "package deal" for even 4K or whatever special price we can get. I will most likely use the Truxxx leveling kit (since JSport is supporting lift kit socialism) when it is available. I will post pics then!

I agree..... 1.5 to 1.75 seems like the right look. I sure wish JSport would quit with the lift kit socialism and just let us buy it how we want it.
