ReadyLift came out with a new 2" leveling Kit at the Sema show. It does the exact same thing as the Truxx kit but it is Half the Price. I would highly recomend it to anyone who wouled like to raise up their nose a bit.

Does it work the same way as the others with the replacement keys?

Is this the one you are talking about?

Yes thats the one. I just took the truxx kit off mine and put this one on over the weekend. This kit actually seems to have a bit better ride also.

How hard is the kit to install?

Also are there any cons after installation?

Thanks.

The only Con is you might loose 1 MPG beacusethe truck wont be as aerodynamic, but i think it is worth it.

Who makes this kit? Brand name? How much does the ride actually change?

actually there are more cons than just losing some MPG!! There is no brakcet to relocate the diff...correct? So this kit WILL be changing the cv-joint angles....which will lead to premature wear...the same way that cranking the t-bars will do.

Put the Ready Lift on my 07 H3. Really like the look and the ride seems pretty much the same. Cost $350.00 installed with front end alignment. I think the kit was $175.00. Very, very pleased.

You are correct is stating the kit changes the cv-joint angles. Anyone sell a kit to lower the dif. to change the cv-joints to factory spec's. Any info would be great. Hummer1

I have an 07 H3 purchased in Oct of 06. I just got the Truxxx Hummer H3 3"
Leveling Kit a couple of days ago, which I purchased from Fat Bobs Garage.
(Product ID : 403030)
Early this afternoon, I called Bryan McCravy of Extreme Off Road in
Douglasville Georgia to have them put on.

The front was raised so there is 9.5 inches from the top of my factory 32
inch tires to the bottom of the fender to match the back.
He had them on before I could finish a chapter in the book I was reading.
He rode shotgun while I tested it out in his land. We drove off through
the woods up over hills on bumpy roads and through ditches.
It was a very smooth ride. Much better than when the dealership turned the
factory ones up to their limit.
One of the main reasons I needed the lift is because I am over 6 feet tall
and the way the vehicle originally sat I could not see the traffic lights,
when first inline at the intersection unless I leaned down. Well that
matter has been resolved and the truck looks and rides so much better.
I will have the front end aligned although I drove it about 50 miles back
home on the interstate and it drove straight and true.

one thing that most people fail to realize is that by cranking the t-bars you are extending the shock, in some cases past their limits. This is why some have suffered rough riding conditions after raising the front with a t-bar crank. You can use shock extender brackets or buy a set of shocks with a longer throw and your ride quality will be back to or damn near stock.

I specifically bought this kit based on the same advice from my Hummer dealership.
