That doesn't help the suspension one bit. All packages get the same soft suspension.

Nevertheless, I didn't start the thread to start a debate over the inadequacies of the truck. I just posted some stuff I thought you guys might enjoy.

Great pics and video?
Perhaps, you would be more impressed, with the $33K H3, if you tried the same stuff, in your $100+K G'wagen.

"The H3 is too softly sprung and the suspension bottoms out and slams into the bumpstops. It is a very disconcerting experience"

Not true at all about the suspension being the same on adventure and base/lux. See July Hurf posts, but the spring rates are stiffer on the Adventure package (4550# rear axle leaf vs 3200# base and lux)and the shocks have more suppression with the Adventure and more travel. That's a 40% higher spring rate. Many people here have chosen the base or lux after deciding the Adventure was a little too firm for their likes.
I have driven the Adventure only once as a loaner for three days when mine was being serviced, but offroad the difference is noticeable, while on the highway I would say minimal.

After a call to my favorite Lynch Hummer Guy the Adventure has foaming suppression in the shocks and an anti hyper extension feature that base and lux do not have.

G-wagen, Thanks for the pictures and the video, they were excellent. Would you even consider doing that air trick with your Benz? I think that the H3 will out perform your rig off road > not on road, and for 35000.00 the H3 rocks. I have lux/offroad pacs in mine and I have yet to bang the tires into the wheel wells but I also dont go flying with it either. Yes it rides a little stiff on the road but I love it.
Thanks again for the video

ok wagon boy since you think the H3 is such a piece of crap for wheelin . take your G@y-wagon or rent one.this is the test , same knoll same speed show me the vid of that i bet your truck will make us laugh . i am really impressed with the landing , i doubt the g-wag will keep all four wheels attached , prove me wrong . i have seen many a wheel fly from busted axles lugs etc . from the still photo i am surprised the 3 didant lose one seeing how off-camber the landing is . come on girly man jump your wagon .
