Hi I'm new to the forum. I have a yellow adventure package H3 and want to lift it about 4-6 inches and stick some 35 bfgs on. Any kits on the horizon?

You should be able to add a body lift to fit 35s.
The difference, wheel well and rub wise is only an inch afterall.

I'd also like to get the ground clearance to about 12 inches...

I don't even think that there are any body kits out yet for the h3, nevermind suspension lifts...

you should try to put 35's on now, they might fit.

Than you'll have to put 37's on there to get that kind of GC. Than you'll need about a "six" to make them work... not to mention LOTS of upgrades to handle those meats. Would be cool to see, but big bucks I would think.

I can't believe you are considering a body lift.. you should just want for a good suspension lift kit, they should be available in a couple of months.

Body lifts are fine so long as you keep them under 2". This minimises stress on the mounts and t-case linkage problems etc.

On Jeeps we used to do 1" body lift + 1" motor mounts + a suspension lift rather than just a suspension lift.

Given that the H3 has leaf springs in the rear, you could probably install some form of poly bushing up front and a larger shackle in the rear and get a simple "budget boost" 2" lift without a bodylift, if you prefer?
