I have been looking at a lot of these threads but no one has mentioned if 33's or 35's rub when you turn lock to lock. I want to put 33's on my new H3 but want zero problems! Will a leveling kit/33's void my power train warranty, it's an 2008 should I just stick with a 285 x 75.
Can anyone recomend a goodlooking brush gaurd/reasonable price/ one piece. Best bush for your buck!
And whats the what-what on warranties and performance chips(recomend?)
Thanks as you can tell, I have a new toy, and can't wait til the novelty wears off, (It's cheaper that way!)

Found out from GM service that leveling kits wont void the warranty(as long as they install the 200 kit for a mere 500.00, big suprise!)
the Biggest tires you can go without f*##^%ing up your computer readings, wich the dealer/warranty fellows really frown upon are 285 75x16 (basically 33's) Not as big as I would like to go but I like having a warranty a lot more! Especially since this is my first brand new vehicle that i don't have to wrench on myself. ( I have enough of those problem-jects.)

Your dealership ....stealership... doesn't get to decide what is warranty, and what is not.

That come from GM, and you DO NOT need a "leveling kit". You can do it in minutes with a 1 1/16" socket or wrench.   Torsion lift - Pics and How To

Doc is right (as usual), I'm running 33' BFG A/T's with just the Torsion Bar level and don't rub at all.

Doc, do you have this post on some sort of speed-dial, or speed post? It's a great post but for some reason you just have to keep posting over and over and over in different threads
