Suspension Enhancement for a 2011 Honda CR-V EX

Updated 06/06/2014 | Published 06/05/2014

Question:

I have a 2011 Honda CR-V EX 4 Wheel Drive and pull a small tent trailer. I am looking at the CSS-1125R for the rear springs to stabilize and prevent bottoming out of trhe rear suspension. Your site shows the CSS-1125R as the correct product to fit the rear coil springs on our vehicle. Another web site indicates the CSS-1125R do not fit our vehicle and show the CSS-1145 as the correct ones. Can you please clarify this for me. Thank you.

We are accurate, it is # CSS-1125R that is the correct fit for the 2011 Honda CR-V. I have even confirmed this with Super Springs.

If the CR-V is bottoming out because it is coupled to a trailer then you will want to keep an eye on the tongue weight of the trailer. The CR-V is rated for 150 pounds tongue weight, check the owners manual to confirm, so a higher tongue weight could be one reason that is happening.

The SumoSprings # CSS-1125R will firm up the suspension though and help to prevent the bottoming out you are experiencing.
