I am about to purchase an 06 Hummer h3. I plan to lift it about 10" and put 40" tires on it. Doesn anybody know what lift kits are available as or right now. I am currently talking to Full Throttle Suspsensions about custom building me a lift kit, but I was wondering if there where any other lift kits available yet.

We just installed a 4" Rancho Kit with 20 X 10 Wheels and 35" tires on our shop H3! It looks awesome, but it is the only one that I know of at this time (The Rancho Kit, not our truck). There was a Specialty suspension shop at the SEMA show that had a huge lift, but nothing that is really available right now. I'm not sure how that bad boy will run with that big of a lift and wheel and tire package on it. Th Rancho lift works really well and is rated to take a 37" tire.

You can check them out at http://www.gorancho.com/products/suspensions/hummerH3.stm

HE has no problem with the 44s that hard to beleive the S10 where the worst piece of ---- them made i had one 7 tannys etc they could of giveing me 5 new ones for what they put into mine. Iswear i would never go with GM again i went with the 4 runner for fifthteen years every four years i bought a knew one and i still thinking i should not swith the H3 is underpowed for sure.
i had 44s on my f250 with a 5in lift and three in body lift what does he have and he must be getting pulled over a lot only two inches from stock bumber i know the cops where pulling me over all the time IF it was not factory i beleive it

I'd like to do a small lift and maybe 34" tires. That 2" lift under development may be my speed. The 4" Rancho looks awesome but my H3 is my daily driver.

I looked at your pics. It looks good, but almost higher in the front now than the rear. Does it look that way in person? You have 33" tires now? Does it affect the handling at all?

Sorry I missed all this! The 4" lift leaves alot to be desired as far as performance, but it looks cool! :) We will be installing a supercharger as soon as it is available, but that is not for everyone. It looks like the leveling kit is the way to go. I bet you can hardly tell any difference performance wise with that on there. Where did you get the leveling kit from? That is perfect for the H3! Did you install it?

the 4.3 isnt that much different its has less hp, and the same torque, CI are also less, so how do you figure its bigger
