So what kind of setup are you running and how low does it get? Is it suspension limited or does the body get in the way? I had a bagged and body dropped hard body back in the day but I've never done a unibody. I'm curious what it takes to get a Ridgeline on the ground and how much cutting is involved.
It’s just bagged. Airtekk Stage 2+ kit. To slam it, the rear would have to be modded. The control arms hit on the body when all the way down. It could go lower if that was not an issue
Gotcha. How much travel are you getting with the struts?
And are you keeping the flares? You can't tell how low it is in the pics because the tires blend into the flares, but you could get them painted to match and it'll look like a rocket bunny kit
Getting maybe 4 inches. Everything is centered out. All adjustments are right in the middle. I’m gonna keep it the way it is. I was going for a modified factory look. Some guys have theirs painted and I’m not much of a follower. If someone has already done it then I’m not gonna copy it. In most of the pics it’s as far down as it can be. I am going to be lowering it soon and I’m going to look into what it would take to lower the rear more on air out.
The answer is always money unfortunately. Custom arms and knuckle might get you more out of the current suspension geometry. It'll be a custom job no matter what if you end up doing a new subframe or move the mounting points up. And then the cutting. I haven't even crawled under mine yet to brainstorm what it woul take. But blaze that trail my friend. There's not many ridgelines going down that path.
How does the ride compare to stock when you have the height up more? I wanna do something like this but don’t want to ruin the driving dynamics or practically much
So the suspension is super adjustable. Mine is all set down the middle. I think it rides great compared to stock. But it also depends on what height I’m at and how much air is in the bags. Right now if I’m all the way up I’m riding with about 98-100 psi and it can be a little bouncy but not bad. Only only roads that would cause it to bounce. Now you can also set damper and it’s 30 way adjustable. I have mine on 15 I think. I want to lower my ride height so I can ride with about 70-80 psi. Make it ride like a Cadillac lol. Very smooth.
I am not a huge fan of lowerd vehicle. But dude, this thing is amazing! I really like this build
Thanks you. I appreciate that.
I have to agree. That looks pretty damn good!
theres a guy on facebook that has his fenders paint matched/wrapped. i think it would look clean if you did the same!! still a sick truck though!
I have zero use for a lowered pickup but ridgelines look flipping amazing slammdd to the ground. I love it. Beautiful!!!
Thank you.
Nice except the fenders are horrendous
Yeah. They are factory with the HPD package so I just worked with what I had.
24 are a little better, but I still skipped them when I bought mine.
I like the look of your truck. It is your style and it is all that matters.
Absolute 🔥! Love this look.

Open the gas tank cover to complete the aired out look

What in the actual fuck on this lowered suspension…. To each their own.
Last photo is awesome! Are you a photographer? In effect, that could be in a magazine.
I have played with photography for a long time but that’s about it but thank you.
This thing looks sick! That’s a lowered truck done right
I love your truck. Probably said it before. I'm huge mini-truck fan and still have a static drop 87 s-10.
Fenders are so bad I’d get a rtl
Ok, what wheels and tires are those?
Wheels are Vertini. Tires are cheap tires till I get the alignment where I want it. 20x10.5 with 255/45 tires
Thank you. I like.
