Default Re: New Bilstein / Cognito Hummer H3 Leveling Front Shocks???

There's a TON of Monroe shocks that fall in close to these specs too.. But they have quite a few different end mounts.. If it's worth anyone elses time..

Here's the list with dimensions

Here's the way to figure out what end mount you need..

Thanks for the info on the shocks Crash.

I am also checking with KYB (Gas Adjust) on what shocks they have for an H3.

They are gas charged with Nitrogen and seem to work well off road and on the highway on my past vehicles (Toyota Trucks).

Maybe Old Man Emu will make some for the H3 since its now selling in Australia?

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.

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.

Thank you my Queen!

Shock extended collapsed travel

OEM......... 15.0" 11.25" 3.75"
Edelbrock.. 15.67" 11.08" 4.6"
Fox.......... 16.0" 11.5" 4.5"
Cognito..... 18.42" 11.77" 6.65"

Isn't the rear shock just a standard shock, so I don't see why Bilstein would not have a factory replacement for the rear to match the front retrofits offered by Cognito.
