That would work, however we are still back to the same, who would manufacture it?
You would also need to place a large order, and you need to understand the fact of the limited number of H3's on the road today+ how many would be willing to buy the lift today?
From my research I only came up with 164,132 total H3's. Now 9-14yrs later, how many are still in service?

That's still a very LOW number over 5yrs, considering GM sells around 9million vehicles per year:


Total number reported 6/30/2011:


Total at time of recall 05/07/2010(by "model year"):

The variance in the numbers would be from the 2010's sales.

yup your right. i have no need for a lift kit. my H2 is tall enough for city driving. the closest to offroad here is jumping the curb.

No need for a lift here either!
My H3 is still stock, and I go off road too, yet all my suspension is all still original(except for the shocks) and tight.

Have any of you fellas thought about using dual shock hoops on your H3? If so, what would you need to make it work?

Not me, I enjoy the ride with my current shocks. Btw, you don't get a lift with dual shocks!

STOP, please just stop.
Research before you just ask random questions. Dual shocks! Welcome it is now 2019. Dual shocks are back to the 90s when shock technology was lacking.

Oh, sorry, I did about a week of research on the topic and was considering purchasing. I figured an advice forum for Hummers would be a good place to ask my questions as I am not a mechanic and I'm building an H3 as my 4x4 rig of choice. Thank you for being helpful here though. I appreciate your time.

Do more research Maverick, this forum has 15yrs of info to research. By my calculations we already lost over 20% of the H3 oem production, mostly due to user error.
