Has anyone tried this here on a base model h3? How did it work out? worth it? Any recommendations on parts/brands?

I seen this months ago and search and search and couldn't find any body who sold it. I would be interested to know my self if any body has installed this.

I did my own variation of this.  Copy/paste from my post on another forum.

So here’s my take on the shackle lift and quick disconnects.  I’ve been tracking down and putting together a list of the parts for awhile.  Finally got everything and put it on this afternoon.  Here’s what I used:
Shackles – Warrior YJ rear 1.25” lift, part #WAR123 –   http://www.warriorproducts.com
These are 6" hole-hole, about 2.5" longer than stock.  You can see how much beefier these are than the stockers.  I actually bent one of the stock shackles at some point.  Didn’t even notice until I took them off.

Bar Pin Eliminators – Rocky Road Outfitters - http://www.rocky-road.com/zjbarpin.html
I wanted to match the rear shocks to the front but Bilstein doesn’t make the 5125 with a barpin.  The BPE also moves the mounting point down about 1” to compensate for the shackle lift.

Swaybar Disconnects – JKS Quicker Disconnects, WJ 0” lift front, part #3100 - http://store.jksmfg.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=QRDISC&Store_Code=JKS01&Category_Code=Swaybar_Disconnects
You can adjust the length on these and at their shortest are around 1” longer than the OEM endlinks.

Shocks – Bilstein 5125, part #BE56248H5 - http://www.bilstein.com/offroad_5125.php
These have 10” of travel and are valved the same as the Cognito/Bilstein front shocks.

How were the results?? How long did it take to install? was there a difference in the ride?

Sorry, not on here all that much.

I did this along with a bunch of other suspension stuff.  Cognito/Bilsteins up front, Sway-A-Way torsion bars, and matching 5125 Bilsteins in the rear.  I think it rides better than stock.  And it does MUCH better offroad now.

Install time depends on if you have the right tools and know how to use them.  [;)]  You should easily be able to do everything in a day even with plenty of beer breaks.  [:D]
