H3 with Rough Country 5in lift and 37's

[Operator24]

What sort of gearing would 37's need to feel like a factory rig concerning power? 5.13s?

Has anyone else regeared their ride?

That looks great. I really got interested in that kit from the other thread and did some checking on their website last night but they still don't have any information on it. I'd love something like that with 35s on mine. The power issue has me a little concerned with anything bigger than that.

Anyone know how long it takes to install and how difficult it is to do?

[Operator24]

LOL... oh please those "calculators" aren't very good. They don't take into account all the things that matter when you regear. Its more than just making up for tire size. If you're running a really heavy tire/wheel combo, you should be thinking about that when you regear. If you're a stick or an auto, that comes into play. I'll even argue that you may consider different gears than what a calculator like that suggests depending simply on where you drive most(freeway, mountain roads, or is the rig strictly for offroad?)

If you're doing more freeway driving than anything, you'll want to stick closer to a stock gear so you have a full range of speed. A 4.10 gear you might be able to top out at 120 on a freeway. WIth a 5.13 you might only see 80 as a top speed thats physically possible!

I don't see where you plug that in on the calculator?

Hey you guys, it seems like you like this kit as much as I do... do you think we could get a group discount for the forum members?

After seeing these pictures, I would be up for being part of the group buy on the kit.

Man that looks great how do you think it would look with 35's ? Do you think there would be too much room in wheel wells with 35's . </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I am going to run the 35s on mmine with the lift, I think it will look great, should have way more flex than you could want and wont tax the motor that much at all.

[H3HUMMER]

Looks great what about the motor any upgrades to that for those tires.

[hilljob]

Give em a call and let us know.

[xavierswan]

I just called the company and they told me they will not make the kit. They stopped this kit about a year and a half ago. I really wanted it but I guess I am going with the rancho kit...

[Huck BB62]

Hey, I forgot a question, what about that winch mount? Is it removable? (no need to run around with the winch all the time when I don't need it)

That's what I thought. But it appears to be fine. Tell us how you fudged that 1/2" !!!!

Oh, and I'm sold. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> I looked for about 3 weeks straight before I purchased my 35s and I belive that Procomp and Mickey Thompson are the only 2 companies that carry a 35" tire(at that time) in 16s that you can buy that will fit the stock width I had to go with a 315/75/16. That way I didn't have to take any chances with the tire rim being to narrow. I have even had them all the way down to 15lbs for trail riding and no problems at all with the trying to seperate from the rim. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Looks like Toyo makes the same size, would these work???

No answer on how it'll do side hilling yet. I've four wheeled for years and one thing I HATE is suckin' up the seat trying to keep the uphill wheels on the ground. Another thing I enjoy is just getting in a vehicle, with 33" tires, without climbing into it. I see a big lift on any vehicle, without a roll cage, and it makes me wonder.

The delay may sound like bad to news to you guys. But take it from someone that just went through a bunch of BS with a lift that was rushed to the market. BTW- DON'T BUY A RANCHO LIFT!
At least Rough Country is making mods and taking time to make sure everything is good before they release to the public.

that whole shipping thing is BS. What you guys should do is start a private PM with info/ addresses to give to these guys and than ship accordingly. Ship to one address? I would have laughed my ass off at the person that made that statement. I would talk with the VP of Sales. better yet, Pm Jason and see what he can do. Jason has GREAT prices on acc.'s and maybe he will be a dealer and get better rates. it can't hurt to ask. Can it? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I agree with you timgco, it's good to know that they are taking their time to fix all the issues with the lift kit BEFORE it hits the market, I said bad news because I want to get the lift and 35 inch tires ASAP... I guess I'll just have to wait now.

As for shipping to one address, that's what the sales rep. tod me and I also thought that was BS, that's why I want to talk to the VP of sales... I also thought of telling Jason to look into it and I think that would be the best option, but since the kit won't be available for the next 6 months I'll just give it a couple of months before I start asking.

I would like to see a shot of that RC H3 parked next to an H2... or better yet, a Jeep Commander. LMFAO
