#4681 of 4724 CCM Offroad Honda Element 3" Lift Kit by ragets

Check out what I just found: http://www.ccmoffroad.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=18
 
You can see a better picture of the Element here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA-ELEMENT-3-LIFT-KIT-2003-2009-4WD-2WD-EX-LX-- - SC_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem3ca5102b0bQQitemZ2604673- - 37995QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_987wt_939
 
I have been waiting for one of these for months. 3" is a little more than I wanted. I was looking for more of a 2" lift but this one looks pretty sweet. I am really considering buying this for my Element.
 
Has anyone else bought one of these or a kit like these? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty neat.
 
Foresters had lift kits like that, 2" lift from springs, another 2" by adding spacers to the base.
 
2" was no problem, but folks that lifted them the full 4" had troubles with the transmissions - difficulty shifting and getting in to gears. The angle of the rear driveshaft changes dramatically with a 4" lift.
 
My concern with an Element would be the same - tolerances are fairly tight for these unibody based vehicles.

thanks for your reply!
I talked to someone that did a lift on his, he used this CCM Offroad lift kit. He hasn't had any promblems with his yet, and he has had his for quite a while. No problems with shifting. The only thing he said is that once you get it done you have to find a place that can give it a really good 4 wheel alignment. That was about it. His looks so awesome. I can't wait till I can get it done on my Element

Good luck. Take pics and share them later, that ought to look pretty cool when it's done.

I sure will. I m probably going to wait till my warranty runs out and then get it done. i don't want to void my warranty right now. Probably by next summer I will have it done.
If anyone else has any other suggestions or anything, please post them.
 
Thanks

#4686 of 4724 Element Rear Hatch by fisheriiijs

Has anyone modified the lower gate so that it swings out rather than down? I'm looking at a Element to transport a power wheelchair using a Bruno lift arm. The Element would be perfect if the lower rear hatch didn't act like a tail gate.

#4687 of 4724 Need Help - Remote Lock/Entry, Radio, Power Locks Not Working by maynardhe06lx

Model: Honda Element LX 2006
 
So I recently bought one of those DC splitter that I can plug in to the DC socket so I can charge my GPS while my daughter watches video. After a few hours of driving, I notice my remote lock is not working --problem #1 (at first I thought I needed a new battery for my remote lock/entry). Then I tried opening the door using the open/close button on the side of the driver seat and it's not working (problem # 2). Now, I have to use the key every time, I want to open/close the car. I also notice on first entry the internal entry light is not coming on (problem #3). The radio is not working as well (problem #4). I noticed however when I turn on the engine, the open/close button on the side of the driver seats work including the internal entry light. But the radio is totally dead. I haven't noticed any problems with my headlights and flashers. I thought I'd also share that I jammed a pair of sneakers under the passenger seat. I noticed there are wires under there and maybe I disconnected something. I also thought it could be a fuse but strangely enough the DC socket (lighter) where I plug in my GPS and my daughter's DVD player still work. It could another fuse??? Any advice would be helpful.
 
Thank you,

Check your manual for the fuses that control the door locks windows and lights, check it and see if its blown.
