sure, lets make the H3 have a higher center of gravity so it can tip on trails like Jeeps, lets make the I5 have to work even harder, get under 8mpg and take 3 minutes to go from 0-60....no thanks.

Well.. It's tall.. But that doesn't make it good.. I've read rumors that there are problems with the drive and steering angles.. Which is the reason they haven't made it available for sale.. There's also the rumor that the engineer that designed it is no longer with Rough Country as well, so there's a chace it may be a while before this one is sold...

I've heard there's a 9 inch lift for the H3, it's the same folks that have the 12 inch for the H2, but I can't recall the name...

For all the money they are going to charge you.
You can only get 37in tire.
Well with factory you can get 35in tire.
I would not waste the money.

But look what a 37" tire will do for you..

You can cross the H1 side of the track..

The Silver H3 in the back is on stock suspension w/ 35" tires.. They don't even look like the same truck.. I know there's the fact the lifted truck is closer to you making it look larger, but man that's still a heck of a difference..

But either way, I think it's going to be a while before this lift makes it into production..

Believe it or not, I think it kind of takes away from the tougher looking stock 35" look...

Just an opinion

the stock truck with 35,s doesn't have the t-bars cranked in that pic either. I was next to a h3 at the dealership that had 37's and the rancho lift on it, it was bigger but didn't dwarf my h3 on 35's. Plus do you know the added stress on the half shafts and the diffs to turn 37's?!?! Front and rear diffs are blowing now stock, running 37's would get ugly in a hurry!

Turning those 37's is prolly part of the reason "I've read rumors that there are problems with the drive and steering angles.. Which is the reason they haven't made it available for sale.."

I kinda like the look of it though.. There's a local H2 running around here in Memphis though that has at least a 9 inch lift if not a 12 under it..

Full Throttle makes a 9.5 lift for the H3 and up to a 12 for the H2... Can't find the pics I stumbled across on it the other day now though...

They are updating the website with the 2007 info, so they may have pics of it soon...
