Re: New Bilstein / Cognito Hummer H3 Leveling Front Shocks???
Unless you are planning on lowering the frame mounted bump stops, the new shocks will need to "not only droop further down due to the raised TBs - but to also be capable of going upward to hit the bump stop on the frame". If this is not the case with cranked TBs, you will be hard bottoming the shock and they will blow quickly. The newly required shocks for cranked TBs need to collapse to at least the length of the stock shock and provide longer length overall. This is exactly what the Bilsteins offer.
However, with either the stock shocks or the Ranchos, this should not be necessary as they come equipped with internal and external bump stops. The downside to these to offerings is the stops limit the travel.
