Honda Element Offroad Lift Suspension
The NEW Trail Runner (TR) kits are an OEM style shock & spring combo much like the OEM suspension (not a height adjustable coilover) to give you a ride height 2" higher than OEM. To achieve the added height, we have added stroke to the shock, and assembly length so we gain in upward and downward travel.
Our assembly also looks completely OEM as it is all black. You can get additional height by adding spacers from anyone. As these are just like the OEM assemblies, they can be used with any spring on the market meant for OEM style shocks (Bilstein, KYB, etc.); lift springs, overload springs, etc.
The Trail Runner (TR) was made with a strict requirement to feel like an OEM suspension, but with more travel, enhancing offroad capabilities. Performance-wise, these are a better option than OEM shocks or Bilstein shocks (which do not increase travel and are typically a more sport-tuned shock) paired with strut top spacers. Those options are strictly for adding ground clearance, nothing more.
These are designed to allow clearance for larger tires due to the raised perch height, a feature not found in other replacement shocks on the market.
Kit Includes:
2 front assemblies
2 rear assemblies

Optional Parts:
We recommend adding subframe spacers to your order
