I find that the factory shocks with the 33" tire are overwhelmed on anything but smooth roads. Does anyone know of a shock upgrade for our H3's?

In my last issue of Ultimate Hummer magazine, I remember seeing some new aftermarket shocks. I THINK they were Bilstein, but I'm not sure. I know they were some brand name ones. They may have been Koni. I'll look for you. I was looking for the same thing actually. They look pretty easy to change out on your own. You probably wouldn't even have to take the tires off, but that is if you are lazy :)

I like to get Bilstein, I looked at rancho website a long time ago they had nothing that's weird that website has them from SMA they are no longer in business for about 6 months.

I think I will just wait for Bilstein to make a shock for us. The Pro-Comps never were as good as Bilsteins on my Jeeps. Really would like to double shock it. I guess the only bad thing about the H3 is the after market parts. If they are available you get raked over the coals price wise.
