Doesn't anybody have any ideas or experience with lift kits?

[Badace]

Can anyone give me an idea of what lift kit to get? I have seen Tucc COuntry and Rancho. I read not to get the Rancho and have not heard anything on the Tuff Country. I have seen the Rough Country but the said on the phone that they did not continue making it. Now there does not seem to be much of a choice. Thanks,

Rollover. What, a jeep can have one but an H3 can't? The width is the same. 82.8" for Jeep, 85.2" For H3.

a jeep can but then it throws off the center of gravity also giving a higher rolover weight as well and that 85.2 is including the rearview mirrors

Rear view mirrors? I know they add width but they can be folded in. I may just say skip the Alpha and go with an H2. I was Thinking I would hold off on an H2 until I hear about the Safari but I doubt it will hit the dealers anyway. I would be about 60k into the H3 so I might as well jump up and put that money into an H2. It is wide enough to lift, add 40's and a 6 inch Fabtech. Thanks for the help. It is not worth creating a rollover waiting to happen when my family rides with me. Thanks again. THe H2 is a lot wider which makes me feel a little better.

there all wide enough to lift but you have understand that any vehicle that goes up so does the center of gravity no matter what you lift theyll all loose some stability with rollovers. With the H3 and H2 you have the 60% side slop capability if you lift either of the 2 thats going to diminish

There are a few "lifted" 3's on this forum. Most people crank their "T" bars or level the front end. I think it's a matter of economics vs. desire but that's neither here nor there. You do know enough to use the search feature of the forum to find the lifted 3's?

My opinion, if you want to lift it, go for it. Just remember if you go up, you need to go wider as well. I have a H2 with 12" of lift under it running 38x15.50x18 with 2" wheel spacers. It's a little wider than the H1 now. I have taken to the hummer test track and tried it out to see if it would roll and guess what. It remained on all four's. I have a H3 with the Tuff Country lift running 35's with 2" spacers and never rolled it.

So just remember however high you go you must do the same with your footstep.

I have a (Rancho) lifted H2, love the clearance. I'm not worried about the raised COG and I don't worry about rollover (mostly).

I have not lifted my H3 on purpose. COG is not the concern, this is.......
