Lift Kit Recommendations?

I have the front axel relocation kit from Traxda and I have seen the cool work they've done to their RL. It looks like all of their kits are spacer kits, no replacements of shocks or springs.

I'm wanting a 2.5" or 3" front and rear lift. I don't want to level it or bring it more level. I also would like something slightly more stiff to handle more weight of things like cargo, bumper, and sliders while off road.

That's what I'm looking for. Any recommendations?

All of the lift kits available for the G2 Ridgeline are strut spacers up to and including the HRG kit linked above. The only strut replacements I'm aware of are from Flatout and only for the G1 Ridgeline. Eibach temporarily had lift springs on the market and then pulled them off the shelves due to them not foreseeing suspension binding by installing a taller spring on stock struts. Good luck with your search.

Best I have seen was "JonDZ adventure" on youtube and his buddy who has a ridgeline. They used a combo of the traxda 2" kit, the subframe drop, the eibach springs and an extender for the strut. if you look up his latest videos you will see all the work. I would assume (based off my 2" fron 1" rear traxda kit install and my own searches that parts would be around 1,500 and labor 700-1000 more. So around 2,200 to 3K all in for this level of lift. It will get you 3" of lift all around, and increase wheel travel to 12-13" total. I know his friend with the ridgeline fit 33" tires on his truck but I assume he had to do some real cutting and bending to make it fit.

I went with the Traxda 2" front and rear about a year ago.. didn't want to have to deal with dropping subframe at the time. Very happy with it.

Installed the Traxda 2 inch front and 1.5 inch rear on my 2017. Has worked great, makes the truck stance seem more balanced, too. Had a tech complain when I replaced the front struts, but oh well. Gave me that bit of extra to navigate deep snow.
