Now I'm just confused as I was planning on going 35's soon. :confused:

We have had 4 differnet H3/H3Ts, Yep I'm sure. Actually if you DO NOT level the front you will have less scrub against the sway bar than if you do level it. However, both of our current HUMMERs have been mildly leveled 23 1/4" to gain a little bit more breakover angle (we wheel them).

If anybody has pick of hummer with 35" tire please post pic.

Thanks Jeff

Do you need to buy the leveling kit for this set up? What kind of kit did you get?

Read post #4 and #12 of this thread and you can do a SEARCH for "leveling" or "torsion bar crank" or " cranking tbars" etc. There are prob 50+ threads on this subject.

Hey i install a radylift system on mine and did have any issue's about 1 1/2 to install and need a alignment after.

Jeff

One more time for those that do not want to believe Tainter....

you do not need to level an H3 to fit 35's
you do not need a leveling kit.... there is plenty of room to turn your tbars up. WASTE OF MONEY!
USE THE SEARCH FEATURE ON HERE OR GOOGLE!! there are a billion pics of H3's with 35's

Offset...10 or 35?

Can anybody help me with this desition...
Thanks Jeff

It would be great to know if he uses the 35mm offset ....somehow it looks like....?!
These rims also come in 10mm offset....one inch more outside....makes some difference...
Actually rim shops say that the 10mm offset version fit the H3 fine....but is it also the case with 35" tires?

The H3 on the photo looks just fine....but my H3 has the fender flares...and I cannot remove them as there are holes drilled.....shXX... so for me the ET 10 would fit better....if it not tears of the fenders and flares after the first bump in the street...
