does anyone know if you can use a chevy colorado lift on our trucks? don't they use the same front end?
thanks

It probably isnt recommended for weight difference and even thought the use the same frontend the suspension system might be totally different.....there are liftkits made for the H3

yeah i know but the hummer one ir 2400 and the colorado one 1300 so that why i was asking if i can save 1100 for the same thing why not. when ever i go price things out and say hummer people seem to add on some extra cash. i looked for wheels said hummer h3 got a price which was steep and then when back a month later said colorado and was told a different price 400 bucks cheaper.

Regarding the tires and rims, you're not shopping in the right spot if you're getting that kind of price range from the same people. Try online line 4WP or some place like them that specialize in tires and rims and off road stuff.

I got a great deal on my super swampers with pro comp rims for my H3.

If I am correct, with the humer kit you wound need rear add-a-leafs or rear leaf springs. You can check out SuspensionConnection.com they have both lifts and the H3 is just a few bucks more than the colorado.

The H3 DOES NOT have the same front end as the colorado.   Where did ya ever get that idea???  The Chevy/GMC use the GMT 355 anf the H3 uses the GMT 345, they share frame sections and an engine, but not anything of real significance beyond that because of a substantial weight difference.  Yes the GMT 345 was spun from the 355, but not the same animal.

Yep. Suspension systems are different.
