This is before I put the lift. I had the wheels and tires and just couldn't wait. It rubbed a little in the rear on a hard bump but not much at all I thought it looked pretty good.

Re: *Official H/T OFFROAD/LIFTED CR-V thread!*
Finally got around to installing my lift ( strut spacers ) I was pretty surprised to find out, after doing hours of research and seeing nothing about anyone else having to do it. that I had to grind down a little notch out of my rear control arm to actually be able to fit the strut back into place after adding the spacer. I only had time to do the rear unfortunately but right now its sitting pretty level with a little bit of a rake. anybody have any tips on doing the fronts? Thanks.

Hey everyone,
I went to my first novice TSD Rally with my crv yesterday. It was so much fun. Ended up getting lost and got hit with a penalty.
Getting back from the event got me thinking... Is there any way I can get more out of our 4wd system? Like have it running at all time?
If anyone know where I could get more info regarding this matter that would be awesome.
Also, I recall reading a post way back in this thread about lift ratio. In installed with the same spacer, the front tend to lift more than the rear. I think it was 140% front and 125% rear? If anyone remember the ratio please let me know.. Looking to get a bit more lift.

I'm honestly thinking about going bigger and better than the V... Don't get me wrong...I love the CR-V and always making believers out of ppl with their **** talking Honda hating asses. But I've been looking at FJ's A LOT lately and I've always been a Toyota lover... Plus I need something that can actually pull the toy car (MR2) to the track. The V just can't do it. I've located a Jackson racing SC for it and I may just pick it up for ***** and giggles and throw it on and see where it goes from there. But I'm kind of tired of dumping money into something that still won't be able to tow much of anything. I mean I have pulled a lot with the little Honda that could, just not much weight to brag about. Maybe I'll hang on to it for the collection for when I move back to Florida and make a nice beach cruiser out of it.... Who knows. Maybe I just need to do something to it to get me to fall in love again. But the serious lack of power gets to me each and every time I drive it.

Re: *Official H/T OFFROAD/LIFTED CR-V thread!*
I notice whenever you guys buy aftermarket steel wheels such as the cragar or procomp you guys have to run spacers to clear the front . I was thinking of getting 15x7 as well but not sure of what backspacing to get without having to use spacers. Any suggestions ?

Re: *Official H/T OFFROAD/LIFTED CR-V thread!*
I'm not sure I have never had this problem on any of my other vehicles and I thought forsure mine would clear I am 3inchs wider a side then stock 6inch overall 15×8 and still needed 3/8 spacer in the front and arp extended race studs now I'm 3/4 of an inch wider in the front and mine are pro comp the brake caliper is a funky one in the front I think overall I am 75 or 76 inchs wide wider than a stock nissan xterra

It's not the backspacing. That makes no difference. It's the actual angle of the "spokes" that come off the hub. The backspacing is decided by where those "spokes" meet up with the outside rim. The spokes come off the hub the same in all backspacing. They are very vertical and hit the caliper no matter what backspacing the rim is. Hope that makes sense.

2nd Gens, keep reading the thread and you'll get to the difficulties I had. RR outfitters refunded my money after a 2 month wait and no confirmation that Davison would even send the springs. OME doesn't make lifts for 2nd Gen. I ultimately went with spacers from CMR which prompted them to rethink their whole 2nd Gen approach reccomending adjustable coil overs to drop their over lifted spacers. In retrospect I'm not sure which way I should have gone. I love the results, but getting there's a b#%€h on the 2nd Gen. Attachment 402773
Gene...Love the look of that Canyon roof cage. What cross bars did you use? OEM of the $600 Thule's?

Thanks for the link btw.
@gene, OME does make rear springs, they lift only 3/4".
It'd get rid of the rake and they can hold a little bit more of a load. I want to get them because I want to build a little trailer, it'd help with the towing.

Thanks for the info guys. More questions, those of you guys running the 2inch lift spacer or lift springs, what else supporting mods are really needed ? Camber kit ? Ball joint ? Control arms ? Or is just going to an alignment shop after all that needs to be done ? I just put the half inch leveling spacer in the rear to even out the height and I'm satisfied with it, but just incase i decide to go the 2in lift route I wanted to know exactly what else was needed .

I spent the past week reading up on Darrycar's build and I must say, his work is amazing. I'm surprised how much power the rear diff was able to handle. I'll even do the drive shaft mod like him to give it more strength. Now I just want to see how long the rear diff would last before pulling the trigger on this....
Thanks again for the heads up,

Re: *Official H/T OFFROAD/LIFTED CR-V thread!*
No worries. Changing the yolks is a huge upgrade in strength. He's done some awesome stuff with his build and it's holding together awesome so far.
