8 months later and now I have my hummer
So I'm home on R&R for 15 days. And on day one I rolled into the local dealership and bought an H3. I'm so happy. I've been looking at them for 8 months and I finally have it. It's loaded out with everything except a sunroof. White adv with black leather.
But here's what I need to know, please. I want the leveling kit to clear some 35's. Should I just crank the torsion bars untill they don't rub anymore, should I get the leveling kit, or I believe someone mentioned leveling shocks of some nature. What is the best way to clear 35's. These AT tires suck a$$.

Re: 8 months later and now I have my hummer
Just crank the torsion bars until the front is level, It seems to be about 24" for most from the center of the hub to the fender lip. You dont need to buy the leveling kit. But you do want to go to trailduty.com and order the leveling shock kit w/ the extended bumpstops. They will make the ride a lot better. Congratulations on the purchase and welcome to the group.

Question about the trailduty gear. 1/2" or 1" bumpstops?

Re: 8 months later and now I have my hummer
Depends on how high you plan to go. With 35's you could get either. I would crank it up and get the 1" stops.
Have a search around for ideas...

Re: 8 months later and now I have my hummer
the 1" stops pop out and soon as you go offroad. They are too long. you have to crank teh tbars to 24.25 of higher for them to work well/ not pop out and that is out of the safe zone for suspension height.
The 1/2" stops and 23.50 is the ideal height from center of hub to bottom of fender.
Order the bilstien shocks with 1/2 stops. I've been running the setup for some time now. I also put Rancho 9000XL shocks in the rear since they are adjustable and allow for extra weight when towing or loading the truck down. I had the 1" stops and they are way too tall.
you can go with 315 17 16 on the stock rims and be good to go. You will get rub and full turn lock to lock on tge swaybar...but nothing to worry about there.
I changed out wheels too on mine. Went with a 17" rim/ 35 12.50 17 mt tires and at 23.50, I have zero rubbing.
