Aerogenics 2" Lift

Just got my 2" lift installed. So far handling changes seem to be negligible.
If anything maybe a slightly more wobble feeling on turns due to the higher center of gravity.
I am definitely enjoying the extra ground clearance, increased approach angles, and how it looks.

Next up will be installing a Nolo skid plate once warmer weather is on the horizon.

Interestingly enough I am now rubbing when doing hard lock turns with my Falken AT3Ws in 245/70R17.

I did not notice any rubbing previous to the lift or if I did, it isn't noticeable or as obvious as it is now.

I can see how rubbing is now possible.
The wheel well conforms to the curvature of the tire. The body is higher now, not matching the tire any more. I'm sure you'll get in the habit of avoiding full lock turning.
It does look killer tho.

Was it easy getting those stock sway bar links off?
Just curious. These things are quite stiff off road. Would be nice to remove them if you were going to be overlanding for a few days.

Would love to see how much body roll you get with them off.

Shop did all the work and I didn't stay to witness the work. However shop said the front was much more involved than the rear. They mentioned something in the front was very difficult to remove, I can't recall if they were specifically referencing the front sway bar end links.

Doing more testing the rub is only hard lock in reverse (which I don't do often). I also just noticed the shop aired up to 40 psi when I typically run them at 35 psi. Will reduce and see if it makes a difference. So far though, I'm enjoying it alot and can't wait to take it out of the pavement for more snow and dirt!

Man this only makes me want to see JonDZs passport in person with the extra inch from the 32" tires and extra 1.5" from the subframe drop. One of these days I'll do some trimming to fit the 32" tires (but not anytime soon).

Gotcha, thanks.
I forget what your wheel offset is. If its different than factory, then the slight rub could possibly be eliminated by getting back to compliance there. It doesn't seem to rub enough to go that route tho. Some chalk on your wheel wells will tell you exactly whats touching.

It's really exciting to see how ramped up you are over this rig and it's new stance. I totally get it.
It's fun to have a unique vehicle that checks many of the form and function boxes.

I look forward to seeing pics of that thing off road.

Well done Sir, thanks for posting the info.

That looks fantastic! I love the wheels and tires too - definitely making me think about doing similar this summer before towing dirt bikes to rougher trailheads. I'm curious if there's a ballpark to expect for installation of the lift kit?

Installation cost will depend on local area, I would imagine lower cost of living areas to have much cheaper rates than here in the Seattle Metro.

Around the area the rates were around $500-700 installation. Unfortunately it seems most shops around here have not exactly done this on a passport, ridgeline, or pilot before. So I went with a top dollar shop that is known for their quality work with great reviews which was what I was comfortable with.

OK, so mine is done as well. I went with Traxda 2F/2R. I will be happy to recommend my mechanic in Kirkland, WA (for those who live in Seattle area). KMC Bully 17 inch wheels and 245/70R17 Blizzak tires. No rub at full lock going left or right. There is some rub at full lock backing up. Ride is very close to stock on the highway (I only drove 6 miles so far). It looks taller and it feels taller inside. I will report more once I get more miles. I think it is time we do a lifted Honda drive in the greater Seattle area!

Hi I know this was posted a while back but do you notice a significant dip on the rear under load. Meaning the fronts are higher. If you do answer post with pics and measurement would help. I find this kit might be best seeing how sturdy the material looks. Btw thanks for replying and posting pics on the 17in wheel thread i made.
