I just ran across this video. Was watching the guy from honda rescue garage lift his element. I'm about to do mine...when I was done with his video I scrolled down and saw yours. YOU HAVE AN AWESOME FAMILY AND A BEAUTIFUL HOME. LOVE THAT SHED AND GENERATORS (HARBOR FREIGHT ROCKS). ANYWAY I subscribed because yall are nice people with good videos so thank you
I’m rolling on 27.9” or just sat 28” tires toyo open country at3 on my 2015 lifted Scion xB. And I love it. And now I want bigger. I had options for what size I want for my next set with the same TOYO’s. Can’t go wrong with them. I was like either 225/75/16,235/70/16, or 245/70/16. And I want 30” tires. So 245/70/16 would be my choice. It will run on full lock turn. But I’ll do something about it. And it’s gonna look killer. Now that I seeing urs, I’m definitely gettin 30” tires on my lifted xB lol. That’s a fact. 😎🤘🏼
Awesome I watch this video about 5x already trying to figure out this whole lift lol and I have the same tires and rims 16x8+20 on fakens Wild peak 235/70/16 on mines
did you guys ever say what wheels and specs those are? Rota grid V, 16 x 8 et20? im looking at a similar setup but with 235/75/15 on 15x8 rotas, trying to decide if i want et20 or 0. your reply would help alot thanks!
Great video buddy, very informative. The finished product looks good. I have a 2015 honda cr-v lx frontwheel drive, do you know if they make a kit for my application. I want more height from my honda so that way I can get in and out of it a little better because I'm 6'2. I don't know if you said what's the name of the company that builds these kits, maybe they could tell me if they make a kit for my honda. Anyway take care and thumbs up on your video.
Nothing has changed with it. It gets daily driven about 1.5 hours without any issues since we've installed the lift. Even did a bit of light off roading to test it out
Very nice. I want to do a 3" lift on my recently purchased Element. Are you experiencing any axel wobble? Seems like some people experience axel wobble after 2"+ and need a subframe drop.
@@bigboii6602 in our case rubbing on inner plastic wheel well, not at all. Our 4Runner rubs occasionally full lock on steep hills too. No issues. Pretty common with large aggressive tires. If you're rubbing often then that's when it becomes an issue. Hope that helps
@@RiggsMotorsports wow thats good. i added a two ich lift on mine, and ive been struggle with a bunch of issues now. my axles tore up. did you guys add the engine drop it and everything? camber kits?
I have the blue 2006 2 wheel drive Ex P. Don't live in Ca anymore but back in Texas, don't need beefy wheels and shock. Heck I didn't need it in San Francisco either.
Planning a 2inch lift with a subframe and engine mount drop and adding 235/70R16 on the stock aluminum wheels. Did you upgrade the shocks and struts? I plan on adding some husky coils, but not sure about the others.
@@richeyrich2203 It's currently getting new axles, KYB suspension paired with Swift springs, and 235/70R16 AT tires installed. No lift kit (yet). I also replaced all the gaskets and seals, the belt, and the sparkplugs. Serviced all the fluids.
Hope you see this. Is your Element 4wd? I fell in love with those rims and am trying to order a set. The ebay listing says fits rwd only but I don't see how that'll make a difference. Thanks!
It's been pretty awesome! We haven't really drove it much in the snow without the current set up, but our dad has been taking it to work really early with lots of snow and ice without problems. Good tires makes a world of difference!
Thanks for checking out the video! Element only rubs going down a steep grade on full lock, we haven't heard it rub in a bit. Power and braking don't really feel any different. Handling feels pretty similar, just feels higher up in air obviously. Lol
It's essentially just lift spacers. We did it on the AWD model, should work fine on the 2WD as well. Search Honda Element Lift Kit and you'll find the spacers in a few different kits
Sorry for the late reply - Basically, the front doesn't rub. Super ocassionally fully locked on a big hill it might, but that's it. Daily driven & we don't notice any rubbing!

Thank you for the kind words! Our Element is still a reliable daily for us 😊 It's a great vehicle.
That's my Element in the HRG video done at HRG for the install video. Some new stuff coming from them soon!! 🙂

FYI
If that's a harbor freight gray jack stand. There might be a recall on it but check the model number.
Thanks for the reminder. We heard about that. We'll have to check them before using them next
Just wondering after a few months hows the cv axles holding out and manufacture, part numbers on that lift kt
2nd this
Bad ass little vehicle. Great video.
Much appreciated!
Your Element looks awesome 👍
Thanks man! Sub for more on it soon
How much did the lift kit cost? And how much did the wheels/tires cost?

Any updates on your lift

Keep us posted if you do! So far, so good. She's driven everyday & hasn't had any issues yet
@@RiggsMotorsports how about a year later?
@@RiggsMotorsports and those cv axels?
What size wheels are those? Also... what size are your tires exactly? I want a similar look, but differrent wheels.
what tires did you put on your truck
Do the tires rub the hubs on sharp corners?
Just on really steep hills while full lock, even then it's very minimal. Doesn't rub at all most days if that helps
@riggsmotorsports is the rubbing detrimental for your tires?
@@bigboii6602 in our case rubbing on inner plastic wheel well, not at all. Our 4Runner rubs occasionally full lock on steep hills too. No issues. Pretty common with large aggressive tires. If you're rubbing often then that's when it becomes an issue. Hope that helps
Dope video bro
I’m looking for more info on this lift kit and 5e tire and rim size
It's essentially just lift spacers, search Honda Element lift kit and you'll find them.
Wheels are 16x8 +20 offset
Tires are 245 70R 16
Did you guys run through any issues with your suspension, axles, ball joints, etc.?
No issues! Very reliable.
@@RiggsMotorsports wow thats good. i added a two ich lift on mine, and ive been struggle with a bunch of issues now. my axles tore up. did you guys add the engine drop it and everything? camber kits?
Did you need an allignment after the install?
Yes - definitely recommend doing an alignment when you lift or lower your vehicle.
Was it easy to lift?are u guys in Vancouver washington?
Yes! Can be done on a weekend day for sure with some tools. We are near the Seattle area
Riggs Motorsports ok yeah wanna left mines I scored on mines 06 awd 5 speed with only 22k miles on it and live the lift look with those beefy tires
That sounds like one hell of a score! Congrats
Just found this. How's the CV boots holding up? Any problems occurred driving lifted?
Holding up great! No issues yet
@@RiggsMotorsports Nice! Thanks! Have done any offroad with it?
Check out our most recent video. About a third of the way through we do some light off roading!

It is a 4wd (AWD). Just make sure you get the right offset so they don't look funny and you should be good!
@@RiggsMotorsports I only saw them with +20 offset. Literally going for the same set of rims with a different set of tires lol.
@@jsthij7805 I'll look for the order and see what we got. I'll reach back out soon
@@jsthij7805 Checked, ours is +20 offset like what you found.
@@RiggsMotorsports this is great news thanks!
hows the element been in the snow? cant get my crv out lol...im in edmonds
It's been pretty awesome! We haven't really drove it much in the snow without the current set up, but our dad has been taking it to work really early with lots of snow and ice without problems. Good tires makes a world of difference!
Also, cool finding someone relatively local. Stay safe out there!
I’ve drove an Element AWD through 6 inches of snow on a narrow road for over thirty miles. It handled great.
What's the wheel specs. 16X8..? And what's the offset.? Thanks.!
Wheels are 16x8 +20 offset
Tires are 245 70R 16
Hope that helps
@@RiggsMotorsports nice..! Thanks for the reply. Definitely helped.!
Lots of questions! Any tire rubbing? Noticeable loss of power or braking? How is the overall handling now?

@@RiggsMotorsports any issues with the CV joints since the lift?
Needs need brake drum

Was wondering the same thing. Ive read about busted axles sometimes
