Well, I did it. I made the plunge. 35's and what a difference. I was trying to think of a way to break it to my wife that I wanted 35's after only owning the H3 for a week. Well, I figured I'd just get them on and see if she noticed. Keep in my that she drives a mini van and isn't up on the whole 4x4 stuff. So, as soon as I drove home, she was outside with our 2 boys and her eyes were just fixed on the tires as I drove into the driveway. I knew I was busted. She says..."What did you do !!??" and I tried to explain as best I could, that this is really what the H3 was meant to look like.. handling is better... safety.... etc., etc., .. .then I said how about we just buy you some new outfits and some new shoes and call it a day. She then was cool with it. Actually she really like the look and was glad I was happy. My 2 year old loved it and thought it was cool to have a tire as big as he was, he keeps telling my that he likes Daddy's new Hummer. Sound so cute coming from a 2 year old. Well, now I'm ridin' high and feeling good...
What's next... .hood handles??

Uhhh why do I feel like I've been here before?? LOL

"Congrats and looks nice! SEEEEEE, we women arent that tough on you boys! Funny thing is some of the things hubby thinks I might get upset over...I just shake my head and ask WHYYY would you think that would upset me?? But I also have a good man who gives me pretty much anything I want, takes good care of me, treats me well (ok except for an occasional outburst of typical male (_(_)holism ) - so most anything he'd want, I'd not begrudge him...besides he works hard for his money so if he wants it - within reason - he can have it! Cute kid too!"

Thanks... I still can't believe the difference a tire makes.

Anyone have any concerns about the ride after a little torsion bar adjustment? I did 2 1/4 turns on passenger side and 3 1/4 turn on the drivers side to make it even on both. Ride seems a little more bouncy, is it the tires or adjustment and anyone have regrets to cranking up the torsion bars..??

Looks great stlH3. Any other mods part from the torsion bar adjustment? What kind of tires are they and have you noticed the tires rubbing on full turns?

Thanks
