What you bought is not a lift kit, it amounts to a set of shackles and a T Bar Spacer. Problem is, the stock T Bars can be adjusted to lift the front to the same max of 23.5" (ne need for a spacer) and shackles are not necessary.

Any bone stock H3 can run 35" tires, no need for any lift at all.

X2 on what Doc said.

Rancho & Tough Country used to make 4" lifts but no one makes a true lift kit for the H3 anymore.

Adjust your torsion bars to level and add a 1" body lift for some more height if you want it.

X3 on what Doc and bunger posted.
Don't waste your hard earned $ on a "torsion key" lift. You can adjust your OEM keys to achieve a nice looking level rig. Throw in some 315/75R16s on it and you have a great looking rig.

This is true, but it is not the right way to do it. You can buy torsion keys and do it right.

Bull****.
Buying reindexed keys for an H3 is just wasting money.
They are NOT needed. There is plenty of adjustment in the stock keys.

Then tell me why there is so much adjustment built into the OEM torsion keys?
So you can raise the front end when you add weight (winch, bumper, brush guard, plow, etc.).

If you prefer to throw your hard earned $ away. Feel free. Maybe buy a throttle body spacer too!
