2017 ridgeline leveling kit

Just some thoughts that I know not everyone will agree with. Until there's a track record for multiple alternatives for leveling/lifting the G2 and upsizing the tires, my inclination is to believe that the Jsport guys took a very hard look at what mods could be done given the front axle and wheel well limitations of the truck. They claim to have done the R&D to build a very tight case for full warranty certification...good enough to convince Honda dealers that installing their kits would not create liability issues. Still, it's a stretch for me to believe that their testing covered all the bases -- everything, say, from collision performance to rollover risk to ABS/VSA functions to Honda Safety Sensing performance and beyond. Lifting the suspension and upsizing the tires could potentially affect any of those operational characteristics, but would it be significant? Who really knows?

Without more information, my gut says the Jsport mods are less likely to push the limits of the truck's operational and safety systems. From that view -- and it is just my opinion -- I would be reluctant to lift the front suspension by more than 1.5", increase tire size by more than 1" diameter or stray more than a few mm from the factory wheel offset (i.e., the Jsport specs). Everybody is free to mod their trucks however they like, and I certainly wish them no harmful consequences. After all, if nobody tests the G2's limits, we will never know what they are. I repeat, this is just one guy's opinion...and maybe I'm just too cautious about this.
