Hi new here just need some info on how to lower my h3 and what parts to use thanks . Any info would help

 

WHY ?
Ok if you really want a lowered off-road truck , you can crank the t-bars the other way and lower the front end . Then for the rear you can use spacer blocks between the leaf springs and axle .

 

Sacrilige!!!

 

Like making a silk purse out of a pig's ear.....

 

e bay sells a block kit that consists of a 2 inch block, 4 u bolts and a lowered shock mount spring plate, I didn't like the rake in my h3 and had no reason to use it to tow stuff so I purchased it . don't know how far your looking to lower your hummer but I like the way mine sits now. It don't look like a jacked up "HOTROD" anymore.

 

ebay item number : 141924044290 just type in the item number in the search box

 

You got that backwards!


Not sure what towing has to do with lowering (or not) the rear end of an H3, but to each his own I guess.

Wow, $170 to lower a 4wd vehicle? I must admit though, even though I would never do it myself, your H3 does look nice lowered (in your profile "garage").

 

The back of trucks are a few inches higher because when you load weight on the back , towing a boat, trailer, camper etc. Will bring the rear down. Without the "rake" the back will sag causing the front end to lift thus loss of steering . basic suspension geometry.

 

Actually, the rake is for aerodynamics per the HUMMER H3 launch book by Larry Edsall.
It gained 0.5 mpg for the highway EPA ratings.

 

You are suggesting that a stock truck will only handle correctly when it is fully loaded, or at least perfectly level. That is not the case. Any vehicle's steering geometry is designed for a reasonable variation of ride height/angle. If that was not true, then your "lowered" rear end has already changed the steering geometry from stock and given you a loss of steering, since it is no longer the "stock" rake, right? And many of us have lifted the front end a couple of inches by tightening up the torsions, which has done the same thing as far as the steering/suspension geometry is concerned as your lowered rear end did (with the exception of a slightly steeper A-arm angle). There is no noticeable effect on steering/handling.

Adding a trailer? Unless your tongue weight is significant, the rear end should not drop much with a trailer, certainly not enough to affect steering and handling. And any trailer with a tongue weight heavy enough to affect it that much should only be towed using a weight-distributing hitch, which nullifies the entire argument.
