i saw this on another forum,i though it was awesome


  #1       







This was built by Rough Country Suspension out of dyersburg,TN they bought this truck new to build the lift for it, in the first picture the guy on the left is the one who designs and builds the lifts, the one on the right is the one who sells them.. Two REALLY nice guys and the kit is very well made, it is a 5" lift with 37's all the way around, truck looks incredible.. the kit is 100% bolt on and ALL THE FACTORY accesories will work with it, he said he wanted everything to still work and it does! AWESOME job by these guys if i ever lift a truck i will be getting it from them! lemme know what you think or any questions me or bbyhmr can answer them








The truck CLEARED THE H1 side of out track!! the H2's cant even make it over that!!!

Now there's a HUMMER I really like!  I would definately need the V-8 option though, the I-5 would have a hernia trying to spin those 37's.  I would also prefer the between the frame rails winch like the one from predator.  I wonder what the bottom line is on that lift install?

That looks hot!  I wouldn't mind getting one of those lifts!

At that tire size, wouldn't a weak link surface? Tie rods, half shafts, CV joints? I would think that if you load the corners up (esp. the front) something would give?

I love the tough look, but I agree, 37"s are too much stress on an already weak steering system. I see they have the 14mm tie rods (oh snap!). Probably should upgrade those to the new 16mm or go with something like the Bulletproof steering tie rods. I busted a tie rod the first week after getting my 35"s climbing a ledge. While I don't blame the 35", the increased weight and better traction were a factor. While I love the look, I don't think the IFS and steering rack will handle the 37"s.

Ya that looks very nice, similiar to the rough country lift I had on a '79 blazer (wasnt cheap).

Although I would agree that seems to be a bit much for the H3. Waste to have a nice set of MT Baja Claws like that on a vehicle that will only see limited off-roading... looks damn nice though!

Makes me think of a 1984 Toyota I had with a 16" lift and 24 shocks! thats right 24!!! (All were drilled out except 4.) It set on 44"s!!!!! The steering rod broke on the Freeway and I cleared 4 lanes before it stopped! Not Fun!!!!!!! I Used all Rancho at the time. The lift was made by Super lift (12") and a 4" body. All try to find some old pics to post!

Anyone know what kind of winch mount that is? It looks like a bolt on.

That is a SICK H3 however I opted for 285/75/16's because of the inline 5 and highway use of my H3 also it's a bitch to drive lifted H3's for me at highway speeds in the snow/ice of Nebraska I don't want to end up on my lid.

I'm not sure, but it looks like a custom job hilljob26 can do.

I'm more interested in that winch mount as well.  Keep hoping we will see that style become available on the free market, 'cuz the few I have seen are always a custom job and I sure don't have the skill to pull one off.
