Ninth Element Complete Cross Country Lift Kit

We combined great components to get Mindy's, Ninth Element lifted and ready as her living-on-the-road travel rig. Now we're offering the same set up as a kit for other Element owners

Mindy and Ninth Element have traversed to opposite corners of the U.S., from Oregon to Florida, and shares her journey and experiences on her Ninth Element YouTube channel. Learn more about Mindy on her bio here. 
 
ElementDriven assisted by providing components of a hybrid lift kit so Mindy could go where she wanted with confidence and increased ground clearance.

This kit is great for all who want to camp, explore or travel city-to-city or state-to-state with improved ground clearance for beaches, snow, forest service roads and more. It can provide increased carrying capacity with the optional rear Swift Springs from Aerogenics. The lift height is a good all-around, usable height without going too extreme and putting the CV axles in the danger zone of going bad.

Nick Stice at Gresham Honda provided the professional installation service with Jaime Powers providing stellar admin support.

Joseph of Element 44 also pitched in with their new rear lower control arms, available in three powder-coated color choices. These are optional, but a great choice for higher-mile Elements since you get new bushings included that replace your tired, worn OEM units

Element owners have shown interest in Mindy’s set up, so it only seemed natural to offer a one-click lift kit solution to help get E-community members dialed in without having to spend hours sourcing parts and learning suspension speak. To help you spend more time planning trips, get the all-in-one kit; Ninth Element Complete Cross Country Lift Kit.

Components:

• Aerogenics Billet Lift Spacers: 2-inch front, 1.5-inch rear (4 pieces). These billet aluminum units come with studs built in to make life easier on the install. They won't rust or break down over time.The standard rear is 1.5-inches, but if you haul higher-than-normal payloads (cabinets, roof-top tent, lots of water, etc.) then choose 2-inch rear spacers to allow better rear clearance and to help keep the look just right once things settle in 
• Aerogenics Front and Rear Camber Kit. This will make your alignment tech happy. These units (4 pieces) provide greater adjustability to get alignment specs where they're needed after a lift kit is added. Includes front camber bolts and rear adjustable upper camber arms
• HRG 1-Inch Subframe Drop Kit. Critical for any lift over an inch. This complete kit allows many key items to be lowered, decreasing CV axle angles and eliminates potential rubbing of parts by bringing them to OEM range
• *Optional: Element 44 Steel Powder-Coated Lower Control Arms (choose year and color). If your Element has over 100k miles, these units not only provide you with new bushings to replace worn units, but add increased clearance plus style points to your lifted Element. Come as a pair, ready to mount. Not sold separately
• *Optional: Rear Swift Springs from Aerogenics. Proprietary spring rate made in Japan specifically for your Element. This copper-colored pair of springs provides stock-length rear struts with a stiffer spring rate so you can haul gear in your Element. A must for anyone living the overland life

This kit can be installed by the DIY mechanic, but we recommend professional installation, and an alignment afterwards. Kit does include instructions and we will have video install instructions in the near future on our ElementDriven YouTube channel.

Installation Service:
If you are, or will be in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, and would like your kit installed by professionals, we've partnered with Gresham Honda in Troutdale, Oregon, who'll provide a 5% discount on the installation if you order the Ninth Element Lift Kit from ElementDriven, which includes an alignment when the installation is complete. Make sure when scheduling that you request Nick Stice for the install.

This is the location and the lift kit that Mindy and Ninth Element received, and she's been a happy camper...and traveler for many miles now.

Additional Installation Service Location:
If you are, or will be in the Orange County, California, area and would like your kit installed by professional, certified mechanic, Miguel Cardenas of element_lifestyle social media fame, we've also partnered with him to offer install of this kit, who'll provide a 5% discount from his rate on the installation if you order the Ninth Element Lift Kit from ElementDriven, which includes an alignment when the installation is complete.

We even include a Mindy-approved treat from Schuller's Kitchen (made by another member of the E- community) for you to enjoy while your lift is being installed, or while taking a break if installing it yourself.

Please allow 2-3 weeks for us to ship this completed kit as we build inventory to meet demand...and for me to stop eating and replenish the cookie inventory.

Kit does not include wheels/tires or other non-lift kit related components such as steering bushings, sway bar bushings, etc. Have your mechanic evaluate those items prior to install to see if replacement is needed while under your Element.
