So your considering upgrading your H3 Suspension System...

[NEOCON1]

the larger tires give more ground clearance but you need the lift for clearing bigger tires so it becomes a vicious circle . the 315 70's are 34.5" and our so called 33's are just over 32" . i guess we just want to make our trucks go over stuff that a stock h2 cant

Warranty issues - Some dealers are extremely averse to alerations made to vehicles, particularly suspension mods. just be forewarned. I have in many instances consulted with service managers outlining what I would like to do. This helps me gauge their reaction, and also get a a feel of what to expect in the event of a warranty claim. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>


The dealer can get averse as they want. If you modify your suspension, they don't have to fix any issues with the suspension. If your AC dies, they still have to fix that if it's convered under warranty.

You are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. A lot of service managers don't understand things like Federal Law. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

For those that are concerned about warranty, you can pruchase a warranty as I did when I bought the lift. It covers everything GM may choose to void due to the mods you have installed. I did this through 4 Wheel Parts for about $750.00. Anyone can do the warranty work after an authorization is given.

If you were going to leave your vehicle stock, but wanted it beefier, what items would you look at upgrading... only thing that comes to my mind is tie rods, as I've heard hard roading an h2 has a problem with these. Do you think someone will come up with beefier swing arms, knuckles, and the like as well? Is upgrading the shocks really worth it?
