Welcome to the forum! I highly recommend you not waste the time and money. The CR-V was not designed or intended to be for off-road use. Common sense will tell you that any mods to any suspension will put undue stress on other suspension parts. That's hard enough on newer vehicles, but on older ones it's just doesn't seem wise, to me. And it won't make a CR-V more capable. If I wanted to do this, I'd go find a nice 2001 Jeep Cherokee, which actually has the potential to benefit from such mods, and can be made more capable. I actually had a '97 and did this. Had a ball and enjoyed the whole experience. In fact, I wore it out! That's my two cents.
