Are you talking about the shocks or the lift? Another member on here checked into the Rancho (I think) lift and found that it won't work on the H3 as of now.

I may actually have something to contibute to this one, just spoke with both the Rancho and Tuff Country reps yesterday.
After speaking with both, my personal pref. would be the Tuff Country and my reasoning behind that is that the Rancho lift DOES require cutting of factory brackets in order to install. Neither one requires any kind of welding. If you do not want to have to cut go with Tuff Country if your not worried about that then it is again a personal pref.

I read couple of Ranchos specs also Tuff. Rancho can fit up to 37" and Tuff only 35" so how is that you both have 4" lift but Rancho clears more?

just looked at the Tuff Country spec and pricing sheet they say they will fit a 36" tire. BUT after speaking to both the Rancho and Tuff Country sales reps at a show this past weekend neither would recommend the 37's both said the truck doesn't have the power (they were on both show trucks 37's) Go with 35's

i cant find a 35" tire that fits a 24" rim. Well I have the 3.7L motor, plus 5 speed standard so more power handling, you think ill be able to pull it off?

If you plasn on going off road I would highly recommend not going with anything bigger than the 19's and that is kind of big.
