I (mostly) knew the camber bolts would be needed in the front from the get-go, so I just went ahead and installed them with the lift. No reason you couldn't just rebuild with the original bolts and leave it to the alignment guy to put in the adjustable bolts if he needs them. He probably won't...

B0wfin, I never noticed that those inboard bolts are an adjustable eccentric bolt. Cool. I just poked my head under my '08 and, sure enough, there are index marks around that bolt, usually indicating that it can be adjusted. You are you lifted, right? With my 2" I'm having to use adjustable...

I got my camber bolts on Amazon. (I hope I'm allowed to say that. Erk.) Here's what I ordered: Specialty Products Company 81280 EZ Cam XR 16mm Adjuster Bolt - Pair ($22) Most alignment shops will have these on-hand, but they'll charge you double.

Oh, almost forgot... You know your use case better than anyone, and you may not load your Pilot sufficient to sack the suspension, but air bags in the rear suspension is really handy. They're ordinarily a pain to install, but when you have the springs off already, they're a cinch. Even though...

Ooooh, new struts, shocks, LCAs. and all the trimmings Good call! I should have done the same when I did my lift--just refreshed the whole suspension system. Have you got new sway bar bushings and camber bolts on the way? Good chance you'll need the camber bolts--they're only like $20. Oh...

Aggrex, Take a trip back to page 4 of this thread, post #65. I found one outfit that will make custom springs for our Pilots that are 2" longer than stock (~$300). No one (to my knowledge) has tried them, but they're the closest thing we've come to a rear end lift that doesn't use spacers (at...

Jose (Akuma129), Nice looking Pilot--at least as far as the underside goes--much cleaner than mine! :blush: Have you got a build thread? I see what looks like some special stuff going on with your Pilot. I'm especially interested in what you used for the auxiliary reverse lights. They look...

bielousov,.com, Take a look at posts #61 and #65 of this same thread (page 4, I think). In those posts I identify the part number for the replacement (3/4" "longer") spring as well as a possible 2" longer spring. I don't think the replacement spring I used is really 3/4" longer, it's more...

Whoa, b0wfin, sorry to hear of your axle woes. Yikes. Glad everyone came away okay, and that the Pilot is off the road again! (Only forum where being not "on the road again" is a good thing. :tongueout:) So, the Stash-A-Stand situation is such that the manufacturer is reluctant to make them...

b0wfin, As regards using a Hi-Lift on the Pilot, I too think I'm going to go with the Hi-Lift Lift-Mate and a jack stand. The jack stand I'm looking at is the Stash-a-Stand. It folds flat, it's tested to 20,000lbs (!), and it's made by a guy just up the road from me here in Colorado. I went...

Hey b0wfin, Thanks for the prompt response! Good Hi -Lift kit...I have the same one...except for the wheel strap. I think I'll pay [insert well-known online retailer here] a visit. :smiley: I've seen and used the wheel straps before, and they're good for getting that tire/side of the...

Hey Guys! Well, I figured out notifications from OB were going to my spam folder. So, sorry @mfletch300 for not seeing your post earlier! The answer is no, I have not tried the longer springs. I used up a big chunk of my Pilot play money on an on-board compressor for my air springs. So...

Hi b0wfin, Nice looking Pilot! And nice jobs with the upgrades! I just got here, but I'll be following your build from here on out... You and I have taken an almost identical path: First gen Pilot, 2" lift, air springs, etc. I too started with separate air spring valves but, as you did...

So, I got one quote back, from www.coilsprings.com. Pair of rear springs for the Pilot, +2", $298.60. Which isn't all that bad, really, considering you get new springs out of the deal (which are about $105). I don't know if they'll have the same end shapes, etc.--OEM springs kinda taper down...

Brooks, On the subject of longer aftermarket springs (for additional lift), I sorta stumbled on some maybe-useful information. The Moog Problem Solver #81649 springs I mentioned in my earlier post are 0.703 wire gauge, and are 14.75" free height. We need to know some other stuff to custom...

Brooks, I got the springs from Carid: - AWD 2008, Problem Solver™ Rear Coil Springs (81649) by MOOG®. Try this link--should get you close: https://www.carid.com/moog/moog-coil-spring-set-525658599.html Sold in pairs, about $105 shipped for both. Coil spring isolators (I'm using this...

Hello all. I just joined OB as a result of a Google search for skid plates for first generation ('03-'08) Pilots. I didn't really find anything skid-plate related, but the search brought me here, which is good, because I've found a group of guys that are my kind of crazy. :smiley: (I'm tired...
