How to lift your 2002-06 CRV 3 inches with the HRG Ultimate kit!! 

Me too 😭

Its because its not a crv, They are working on a Honda Element

Where do you live?

It always happens lol

Juan you bought a 2 inch kit. This video is for the 3 inch

hrgoffroad.com sells everything you need

It's the geometry. The 1.5in spacers are inboard to the frame enough, that the resulting lift between tire and wheel well makes it 3 inches.

Only you can answer that question and no one else.

Same, it always seemed weird to me.

The engine drop kit only drops the engine 1/4”, it does not affect suspension geometry. Your best bet is to install a shorter spacer. A 3 inch spacer is too tall for these. 2.5 is pushing it and works best with a 1” subframe drop.

I order the engine drop and subframe drop it’s a 2wd hopefully works a little better

Why would u sell a 3in lift if it’s not going to work

@@hrg_tv curious also HRG, why sell a 3" kit if the positive camber will always be too much?

The mileage is not effected by the lift, but by installing larger, heavier tires, roof baskets, and heavy off-road gear. The lift does cause poor on-road handling. The engine and transmission will seem sluggish after installing larger, heavier tires. If your main concerns are mileage and handling you may want to consider leaving your vehicle stock.

Im about to install your 1.5" lift and leveling kit. Would you say the poor handling applies to this smaller lift as well?

⁠@@hrg_tvI just wanted lifted a bit with big tires. No off road gear or roof basket nothing. Should I b fine?

could you explain ?

I currently ordered a 2” lift spacer for front and rear it should be fine without it but i would replace your sway bar links and ball joints

Theres gonna be a lot more tension on those parts so replacing them would be the best option

I understand what you are saying but that’s is not true based on our experience. The large hole spacer fits flush.There is no additional pressure and the wider hole has nothing to do with the tip. The bolts in fact do snap easily when people install the spacers incorrectly. I actually explain this in the video at 4:10. At one point we were drilling the smaller ones out but it added labor cost and people were still installing them wrong. It didn’t solve anything so we switched to a spacer that was already the correct size.. It’s worth mentioning there are guys that have had this kit correctly installed for 3 years and counting, trouble-free.

@@hrg_tv Just saw your comment. Yes, I saw that in the video but the way it is now you are putting all the stress on the lip. Which is preferable to the alternative, but it's still not the best way to do it. I don't know anything about the production I guess it makes sense to have a different item for this position to avoid people messing it up.. Just saying it can be better. Let's hope we all drive our cars trouble-free.

@@martinnedyalkov9185 Your statement implies that we have no idea what we are doing. You might be right about that, but we are always learning and improving our products. We noticed the failures you are worried about do actually happen but only when the spacers aren’t installed properly. So the real challenge is showing the proper way, which I feel like we have accomplished with this video.

you can just click on his website and look..

how was it now

No axle issues ? Front and back 1.5?

@@EATSLEEPJD none. But you may need wheel spacers when going thick tires.

@@EATSLEEPJD but the boot will rip for sure if you're using old front axles. Rear will be fine

@@tomasashenafi882 ah gotchu. Just picked up a 2005 for my RU-vid. Researching about the lifts now.

@@tomasashenafi882 thank you.

they're called wheels. I can help you out, what are you having a hard time with ?

@@danielgardzina6982 thanks for the offer. I already figured it out. I didn't understand the lug pattern and how to read wheel measurements, but finally figured it out. I had to get old jeep wheels with the same lug pattern.

IT DEPENDS ON THE DESIRED STANCE. IF YOU PREFER THE REAR TO SIT 2 OR MORE INCHES HIGHER THAN THE FRONT, YOU WOULD USE THE SAME SIZE SPACERS FRONT AND REAR.

@@hrg_tv thanks for the info

You could run 235’s
