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.

quote:

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.

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.
