I knew about the lift kit, but I'm honestly more interested in the rock sliders that are shown in the pic.
With this set up he is also running the axle relocation kit, right? Looks cool, I'd be concerned about stress on other suspension components, due to my garage opening I cant lift much lol.

 

That's a lot of work to lift a truck not built for serious off-roading up to off-roading levels of GC.

 

^^^Yeah and how do you recalibrate the VSA to compensate for altered vehicle dynamics due to higher center of gravity (among other things)? I'd say all bets are off for Honda Sensing and crash test results. But to each his own...

 

Anyone have one of these installed yet ?

Aside from the lift, I'm more interested in that roof rack, I will check 4wheelonline if they have something similar. It looks like it would suit well on crossover SUV better.

 

I couldn’t believe it!! I had to call Traxda about this lift kit and it’s true!! I spoke with Greg the owner. I don’t know if you all knew this, but Greg the owner of Traxda actually owns a black edition Honda Ridgeline!!

We both saw the same YouTube video when Edmunds.com did a dry test run on stock suspensions for the RTL-E, Tacoma TRD Off Road, and Titan XD (I think[emoji3166]...) which sealed the deal for us purchasing the Ridgeline.

For Greg’s Ridgeline, he installed this beast 3.5 lift and has gone 1,000 miles without any issues. I’ll post a pic of his truck.

Greg is like 6’3 or 6’4 and he told me that the top ridge of the bed of the truck reaches up to his armpits!! Now I’m 5’11 and I can only imagine how high this lift is??!!
What’s important to me is finding out that Greg the actual owner of Traxda owns a 2nd gen Ridgeline?? Creating and making products for his Ridgeline, actual R&D on his Ridgeline and then selling the actual products just gives anyone who owns a Ridgeline to buy in confidence and competence. That’s assurance enough!!

You want to know stats? Traxda has sold over 6,000 units for the Ridgeline.
Greg has sold 7 kits to Honda engineers in Torrance, Ca.

That roof rack that’s on his truck may go into production. I already asked about it!! And yes in black.

Im making a purchase tonight!!
Thanks Greg and all of Traxda!!

Can you send pics and extra parts needed to make work and what size tires you are running

Any picks of the lift after installation and what do you think

Gonna go out on a limb here and guess OP didnt purchase or install a 3.5 lift. Probably realized the amount of work, money, and risk involved.

 

Three inches just seems excessive to me. Besides, the OP posted one post and never commented again. I just find that a bit odd.

 

Way too glowing and positive. Sounded more like an ad than a review. Post and bolt
.

 

I got that same impression, it’s like the OP was an employee trying to drum up business.

 

This is it

looks awesome! What size tire are you running, any rubbing?

That is a LOT of work to install this lift. I would love to have more ground clearance but not sure I want to go through all of this. Even with a professional doing the installation, there are so many things that could go wrong, just not sure it is worth the risk.

 

Part of the game.

Stay oem and don’t have to worry about a thing.

 

This popped up today.

 

That's a huge job!

 

1 inch spacer installed

Was not that bad installing the 3.5 inch lift. The alignment made it necessary to do a 4 wheel alignment. If you cannot do a 4 wheel alignment yourself, I don't recommend doing the 3.5 inch lift on your own. Take it to a shop. I could not think to have some sweaty man handling my baby so I did the work

 

looks good. I really want to get mine done but I can’t find anywhere close that is experienced or willing to do it.

 

Any updates on this kit? I have a 2021 BE on order and was wondering what the long term opinions are with the kit. Is the higher center of gravity something to worry about? Noticeable driving / handling?

 

The price on the kit seems to have increased by $300 since the price quoted 12 months again.

 

I have this one for the off road stuff

Does this kit only lift the body off the subframe or do you actually receive more clearance post install. wanting to increase from the stock 7.6" clearance.

 

This kit is a combination of strut spacers and subframe spacers. The subframe spacers are to correct the extreme angle of the axles so they don't bind. So, to answer your question, yes, you get actual clearance post install. Larger overall diameter tires also aid in that clearance.

 

Buyer beware, I bought and had my Traxda 3.5" lift kit on my 2021 Ridgeline black edition.
After install i had a vibration between 20-30 MPH and again around 70 MPH. It also ate my new Falkon tires to where they were bald in less than 5k miles.
Spoke to greg at Traxda and he assured me that it was an installation issue but that I also needed the Axle relocation brackets kit. I purchased the bracket kit, had them go step by step off Gregs video's for install.
The Vibration was lessoned but the axle relocation kit pushs the tired forward causeing the main front bushing to be smashed forward not allowing it to do what its intended to do. I now go over bumps in the road and my truck sounds like a hay wagon. I was told both by the shop and the alignment shop that there are no adjustments on the brackets, it is literally pinning the wheel forward and causing the natural front end travel to be non existent. I was also advised to not take it off road as the clearance is there but not travel which will brake the front end.

I have spent Thousands on this kit hoping to gain some clearance, however I am considering taking it off the truck and putting the HRG 2" on.

Any assistance will be welcomed.

 

I have the 3.5 on my truck, after initial install I was having some counter steer issues, but found the installer accidentally tore the passenger front lower control arm bushing. I replaced the control arm and no issues since. Who installed the kit? if a shop I would take it back. But inspect all the bushings any wear or tears on these trucks make big problems. GL

 

Just got the 3.5 front/3 inch rear Traxda lift installed a few weeks ago. I am having the axle relocation kit installed to move the tires forward an inch to eliminate the rubbing with larger tires. I am happy with the look and ride is still good. Like the fact that it drops the subframe to eliminate the stress of the angles.
