What is the best lift kit for a Honda Ridgeline?

Answer 1

There are several lift kits for the Honda Ridgeline. Rancho, Truxxx and Skyjacker all make a lift kit for the Ridgeline that will lift it about 2" in the front and back. The main difference in the kits is how they are made and what is included. The Skyjacker kit comes with front and rear spacers (as they all do) but neither it nor the Rancho kit come with new sway bar links to account for the change in suspension height. Many people cut and weld the sway bar links to make them the right size. The Truxxx kit comes with new OEM style sway bar links that are the right size so that cutting is not needed. Another difference is the use of studs or bolts. The design of the Ridgeline front suspension makes it difficult to install the supplied bolts into the truck because the installer needs to put the bolts in from underneath the truck and simultaneously hold the strut in place. Skyjacker and Rancho both use bolts. The Truxxx kit uses pressed in studs that are similar to the factory method and this saves a lot of hassle when installing the kit in the front. It is interesting to note that the Honda company used the Truxxx kit on their own show truck for use during the Motocross races.
