To make the tie rods longer I took a rod and cut it in half then took a 1/2" bolt and cut 
it down to 2.5" long and welded it in the middle.


I found laying something round in angle iron keeps it straight, center vice grip is holding the
2.5" long bolt.

After welding I slid a piece of 3/4" OD .065 wall mild steel tubing over the rod and 
welded the ends to the rod. Below is my old modified rod, the new +2.5" rod and 
a slightly bent stock rod.

Looks like plenty of room for a coil over shock


Stock rims clear the arms no problem.






I added some hiem seals from The chassis shop 



Thousands of miles millions of bumps and jumps cant be happier this setup is 100% better than stock wish Honda had
made the arms +2" longer at the factory. 

Thoughts: Review all the pictures focus on the mounting points where the arms attach to the Pilots frame if Honda had located 
those mount points inboard 2" on each side they could have used the +2" arms and kept the Pilot front suspension 
the same width as they deliverd it too us but it would have had a honest 10" of useable travel and only gained about 1 pound 
of weight if that, I might be making this mod in the future, relocate the mount points inboard 1.5 to 2" then make another set
of new arms that are 1.5 to 2" longer than the current +2" arms should give a honest useable 11" travel and still not have to 
change to a complicated bump steer linkage steering setup, the +2" arms work so well I doubt this will happen anytime soon
maybe someone else wants to try it?

Update 7-4-2007
I decided to notch bend and weld the A arms today to correct the upper ball joint angle allowing me to lower the upper 
shock mount down 1" raising the front ride height by 1" transfering more weight to the rear wheels for hopefully more 
traction.




UPDATE  12-27-07 before testing this arm modification I bought a YODA +2" arm KIT
