Nice!! Any tire rub?

 

Not that I have found yet. I am thinking I am good!

 

Hey all,

I just put a Jsport 1.5 inch lift on my 2021 Honda Ridgeline. I also went to a 265/60/18 cooper discover AT3. Overall love the ride and look of the finished product.
As you can see from the pictures I gained 1.5 inches in the rear and 2 inches in the front.

I have the same truck and would like to do the same.I have questions. Thanks for taking the time to consider them.
Does the lift effect the headlight alignment? How about all of the road sensors, nav assist etc?
how pricy was the whole process ?
cheers

Headlight alignment I am not sure yet. I might have to lower them. I will check on that. As for sensors all is within factory spec according to the president of Jsport. I have only put about 30 miles on so far, but no issues to speak of. All said and done with the new tires looking around 2,000.

kit is around 500 after shipping
Tires 900
Install 500
Alignment 70

 

Good job.
Tell us about the install.

 

Install was done by a friend who owns a mechanic shop/auto sales. He estimated 3 hours for install, but took closer to 5. He said there were not any issues it just took a little longer than expected. He only charged me for 3 hours of labor. The president of Jsport is also very helpful and gave me some tips to pass along as well a number to their mechanic. The Jsport lift is very high quality and he runs promotions and sales that makes it a good price. I’m sure other lifts are also just fine, but this one I knew would line up to spec and not rust being all aluminum.

 

Thanks for the before and after pics. Nice job!

 

So I see you had it aligned...did it really need it?

 

As you can see from the pictures I gained 1.5 inches in the rear and 2 inches in the front.

What's the measurement from the ground to the lowest point of your heat shield?

 

Looks great!

 

Looks good!

 

Perfect! I have been looking to increase tire size to 265. Do you mind taking some pictures looking down the side of the vehicle? Despite some more offset in the 2021+, still wish the tires/wheels weren't so inset. Does this package bring the tires out a bit more to be flush with the fenders?

 

So, the front lift on a J-Sport is 1.5. What did you lift the rear? looks like 1". I didn't know they made a 1" lift. I've seen 3/4" rear for J-Sport. Truck looks great!

 

Hi there,

Jsport has a 1.5 lift and a 1.5 leveling kit. I went with the lift kit and that does have 3/4 spacers for the back you are correct. It just raises it a little more when it’s all said and done. Maybe my measurements could be off slightly or the road is uneven too.
Either way they do make a great product and I am able to run bigger tires with no rubbing and ride quality is still very good.

I believe you'd be able to run the same size tires w/o rubbing w/o the "lift". I am curious what your ground clearance gains are, would you be able to measure the bottom of you heatsheild to the ground?

 

And now would be a good time to get anti-theft countermeasures installed for your catalytic converter...

 

I hope it works out for you and you enjoy it. But to each their own. It is something I would not have done not only because of the cost, but also because of the extra height, possible affects on handling and diminished resale value.

 

Good Job Sir. Have a lift on my gen 1 ridgeline. Yours looks perfect. If only they would come from the factory looking this good.

 

Looks Great, I’ve got my 21 scheduled on 3/18 for a 1.5 inch leveling kit…

 

How did it go?

 

Hey all,

How much extra ground clearance did you get?

 

I have the HRG lift (1.5" front and 1" rear) with the same tire size. I measured the lowest spot I could find and have just under 10" of clearance

 

I don't understand the lifting but sure wish people would be a little responsible and reaim those headlights before they drive , nobody seems to do that around here and it is annoying and blinding.

My Ridgeline had the lights realigned at the dealership.

Nice looking ridgeline there!! how much did you pay for installing the lift kit? thanks

 

Love the look. Do you rub on full lock as my dealer is saying Jsport recommends 255/60/18 as you will rub with the size you have?

Nice. Readers should note that the larger tires alone raised the truck about 0.5" front and rear. Adjusting headlight aim after lifting is highly recommended unless a person likes to be frequently flashed by oncoming vehicles.

I'm running Discoverer AT3 4S tires on my lifted RL and they are quiet now but the real test will come when they are worn. Many folks complain about noticeably increased road noise when AT tires reach the halfway point of tread wear.

I'm interested to hear his answer. I think Jsport may recommend 255/60R18 with their lifts because they know that some 265/60R18 AT tires will rub due to wider aggressive tread widths. Stock or aftermarket wheels can also make a difference in rubbing. A first-hand report from a ROCer is priceless!

 

Interesting. I know that when Jsport first offered their leveling kit with custom wheels and tires, they were configured with "proprietary" 17-inch XD wheels and 245/70R17 Nitto Terra Grappler tires. Those Nittos were spec'd at 30.3" in diameter which is slightly smaller than industry standard. That's also slightly smaller in diameter and narrower in width than the 265/60R18 tires that sometimes rub. Anyway, I suspect those 245/70R17 Nittos allowed Jsport to avoid the rubbing issue, despite the 1.5" front lift.

I want to avoid rubbing issues and be able to run low-clearance cable chains on the front wheels of my RL, so for me, there's even less room for error when it comes to wheel well rub.

 

I am going to do this same lift but with the recommended 255/60/18. These do not rub per Jsport and the 265, 1/2 inch taller or 1/4 inch in height taller rubs on driveway entrance at full lock.
