The front coil spring superdutys are pretty nice! The earlier leaf spring ones get pretty crazy, hahahaha

A couple things to keep in mind if you do go with the 2" leveling kit:
1) With a stock track bar, your axle is only going to be ~0.5" biased to one side.
2) Lots of aftermarket track bars are more flexible that stock and/or use a tie rod end that doesn't last in salty areas. Most death wobble on 2nd gens are caused from loose track bars.
3) You'll have to significantly adjust your caster to accommodate.
4) Longer control arms are pretty much needed if you want good ride quality.
For the reverse level you need 2" blocks, 1hr of time (eight nuts) and that's about it.

Dumb rookie question: Would converting to single WalMart Lithium battery and losing that 100lbs help out?
I’m in the dark on too many chassis steering science

Probably won't hurt anyway. I've been running a single battery for about 11 yrs now. 9 yrs on a group 27 odyssey, last two on a generic group 31 my old neighbor gave me. Other plus is it frees up a ton of room on the right side of the engine bay, for multiple turbos or anything else you want. Im still single turbo, so I've just run my intake up behind the headlight.

Honestly I would think the difference would be negligible but it may hurt because more weight tends to ease the ride out but that is more for leafs who knows with coils and I'm not knowledgeable with heavier bumpers with what difference those make. That would give you an idea. I will say that I removed the passenger battery and went to a Northstar group 31 as I upgraded my battery cables and wanted to save money on buying the passenger side cables and for more room later on for activities. I could not remember a difference in ride I just also like the slight benefit of not having as much weight to bend my front axle.

I'll have to get a picture tomorrow, at work now. But yes in the winter too, the old odyssey even started after work, unplugged, with sub-zero highs even. Full synthetic oil does seem to help it crank easier though. Only time I've ever had issues starting in the cold was unplugged with dying battery(s).
