So for those of you who have not kept up on the shock threads, there are few makers who actually make a shock for the H3

ProComp
Rancho (they suck hard)
Cognito/Bilstein
Fox
Edelbrock - maybe...

That's it.

Anybody have the part # for the fox shocks? It would be nice to compare specs of their racing shocks vs. the cognito/bilstein.

I'm looking for the specs now....BRB

No KYB shocks yet per KYB

I haven't found any info on OME and ARB

Are the Bilsteins gas charged?

They may have something that is the right length, but the problem is the mounting. The B/C are actually standard Bilsteins that Cognito modifies to fit the H3.
