I would call tuff country and ask them, they are a good company and I have installed their lift before so I would trust what they say. As far as this auction....I dunno....seems to me that they are describing the colorodo lift...not the h3...saying it will accomadate 285's...the h3 comes stock with 285's and you can fit 315 (35's) with NO LIFT. Seems kinda fishy to me.

I've used Tuff Country on previous 4X4's I've owned with good results.

Check out the kit details on the Tuff Country home page:

http://www.tuffcountry.com/suspension/hummer-2006-h3-lift-kits.html

A couple points of interest:

Average Install Time

10 to 12 hours

Recommended Tire Size

35" x 12.5

Rim Backspacing

4.5" or less (new rims required)

Also, I think I'd get the rear springs as opposed to the add-a-leafs.

Something like this I would NOT buy on ebay. If there is a problem you will usually be on your own. Ebay is good for smaller stuff like skid plates and other smaller accesories. You would be much better off going to your local 4X4 store and buy it there. Also, if it is not a factory authorized dealer the warranty may not be valid. Tuff Country makes good products, just buy it from a reputable dealer...better safe than sorry

this guy has a great feedback rating and judging by his ebay store he owns some sort of a truck suspension store and installation center. I don't think you would have to worry about it, plus judging by the amount of lifts he has sold and the fact that he installs them I would assume he is a retail seller of tuff country....which means tuff country would honor any warrenty on lifts bought from him.
