Here's a couple of shots of my '07 Aventure after cranking the torsion bars all the way up. I've ordered a kit from a company called Ready Lift which will have H3 products on the market starting January 20th. Comparable to the Truxx kit but the price was $220.00. They have a web site, Readylift.com and phone number to call. I spoke with a guy named Mark. Pretty sharp cookie.
Sure have enjoyed this forum, lots of great ideas and answers. Thanks everyone.

Thanks Dilo and Dennis............I'm trying to get there with it...............

As for the shock thingy.......

Bilstein / Cognito 5100 series

Part number F4-BE56140-75

$80.00 each

Handling is improved overall and the harshness of speed bumps and potholes has diminished significantly.
Were they worth it? To me yes…..Just need a matching set for the rear.

Hey, you guys are the ones screaming for pics all of the time.

I was just trying to make a pre-emptive strike.

(That's my damn story and I'm sticking to it)

Oh, wait...perhaps you were expecting pics of some significance.......

Gunner, looks awesome!

did they say when they'll have the rears? I might just pick up a set of bilsteins. I was thinking of the rancho 9000s. Does anyone know the comparison to the ranchos?

Thanks Mark.

They've got em, just the standard replacement size. I simply didnt have the coin.

I'm just wondering what sort of crazy crap I'll run into with gas shocks on the front and the
OEM hydrolics on the back.....Nothing has made itself readily apparant.....YET........

As for the Ranchos, I ran 'em on all of my other rigs and had good luck. I just couldnt find
any the appropriate length for this application. They had some 3" long travels made for thier
lift, but said they wouldnt work with the 2 to 2.5 inches of TB lift.....So I just said screw it
and went with the Bilsteins.
