That's true too. Babhumv's had an offset didn't it?

Because of the tierod breaking and because FUC#ING GM is backed ordered until May on all their tie rods I decided to make this ride a "street" queen (for now).

Once my tie rod comes in, we will fab out a more heavy duty rod by cutting the ends and welding it onto a thicker rod - not sure if this would really help being that the rod snapped on the thread going into the outer tie rod - we may also weld a pipe over both the outer and inner tierod.

I am driving it though, since my right is welded I aligned my left to the right to spare the life of my tires, my steering wheel is off but at least my tires are straight.

Also, because of the soft springs that comes with the RANCHO lift the rear began to sag, it got about an 1 1/2 lower than the front and looked ridiculous. We replaced the stock shacle with a YJ shackle and brought the back up about 1 3/4 higher. Here's some pics of the shackles:



Here's a pic from the rear, you can see how the rear is now even with the front:


Since this is just a street ride now I went bigger on my tires adding Super Swampers IROK's 36 x 13.50's for a more aggressive look!

beware bud withh all the mods you have done they will not cover your t-case or tranny when it blows. You rough ride it with that set up and it will go so be real nice to your dealer. I have seen it with the 2's (2 trannies)

LOL I know bro, this is definitely not for rough riding...the good thing is the GM at the dealership here is a good friend and also a fellow off-roader (dirtbike rider) and I also wheel with the Shop Foreman and one of their lead techs.

I am being extra nice to my H3 though, but can't say I'm not itching to take it on the trails again!

Swampers look wicked. I know they are loud, and dont do well in snow, and look way over sized and kick chunks of rubber off as you drive down the road, but I love em. Rig looks sick Inked!

Nice looking mod. Seems it might be a bit much for the design.

DAMN!!! Rig looks awsome! Very sweet!
Even if it is now a street queen!

just get a PCM thingy, it's like magic beans.
