Just look at at that beautiful lift height on this brand new Honda Element liftgate! Sadly our Element’s are not brand new anymore and with the current winter conditions facing most of us this time of year I thought I would put this article together so you don’t have to constantly bump your head this season due to your worn out tailgate lift shocks. Sure, I know you are thinking what is so special? Buy some new shocks and install them, problem fixed. You could go that route or you could hack your way to an extra 2″ of standard lift using a set of shocks from a VW. That’s right I will show you the exact part you need to buy to get 2″ of extra head clearance to not only fix worn out tailgate lift shocks but also improve your Honda Element with this nice little upgrade!
