You should reread the first sentence of the very first post I made here. It's located at the very top of our conversation. It might not be at the top of this page, so you might have to go to Page 1.

Not going to do it? Okay, let's move on.. I'm sure you will after the fact.

I've already said that I didn't find the answer I was looking for with the "Tuff Country Vs. Rancho" lift topic. That's why I started a new conversation. What exactly makes you think I won't do that for a new topic, such as the steps needed in getting the locking differential installed on my truck? I understand you're "only trying to help", but it's coming off as arrogance and isn't appreciated. The reason I put that disclaimer there in the first place was to avoid the whole "dumb new guy doesn't know how to use the search function-LOLZ" reply that is typical on this forum.

We were having a conversation. I was enjoying the conversation and the fact that people were offering their serious opinions and experiences in the conversation. If you're not interested in continuing the conversation, it's a simple matter of not replying. You have that option. In fact, it takes more effort to reply to a thread then it does to NOT reply to a thread.

I'm sorry that I have insulted your sensibilities. I don't have a problem doing my own legwork, searching beyond the forums in some cases and turning to more experienced people for help when I need it. I'm an aircraft mechanic, troubleshooting isn't foriegn and neither is "quenching my thirst for knowledge"..

Thanks.

The Rancho is designed a bit differently and better. However I wouldn't put either on, I already had a rancho lift and took it off. Just too many negatives with either lift.

That's interesting. If you don't mind going into detail; what problems did you face with a lift on?

I've also read that both kits have issues with sagging.

I'm really interested in this thread because I want to know if there's any good justification to spending the extra dollar for the Rancho kit. I wouldn't mind spending more for a better product.

You must be from the "ME, ME, I, I, NOW, NOW" generation. Knowledge is gained through experience, reading, searching and listening to others "opinions" and then making an informed decision on how to proceed.

That's some funny chit there! An "aircraft machanic"? Sure! Throwing old peoples luggage into an aircraft and spraying down the wings does not make one an "aircraft mechanic".

Simple information like the below quote tells me a lot more than all your words do:



Good luck with your chit! No more assistance from this HUMMER enthusiast.

Sure am glad I responded to your first post and wasted time trying to explain things to your sniveling little ......... DONE!

the "taunter" is at it again.... Mr HUMMER Guru always has his 2 cents and snide comment for EVERYONES post. Seizes to amaze me... Really man? this is an open forum and if someone has a personal question, let them ask it. Whether or not its been Answered 100 times... let people on this site feel ok to ask a questions about there hummers, bring up and comment on old posts, anything they want too. People shouldnt have to filter thru threads past dumb comments like yours. If you have nothing relevant or on topic, STFU. stop leaving your 2 cents where its not needed. I understand you may be a senior member, and have probably been around hummers for awhile. U may just be the guru of hummers, however, we are all on this site for the love of our vehicles and snide people like you ruin good sites for people... So stop taunting people... keep the snide comments inside your hummer Hcolorado3...

Ahhhh ..... this from the guy who dug up a post from 2008. Then responds to it and asks questions of a guy who hasn't been on here since "Last Activity: 08-23-2010 07:07 PM". As far as your Necro-Bumping goes, I didn't even comment on it, but others did! You have a hard-on for them too???

Mr. Chrome: I DID answer the OPs questions, several times in fact! I guess you skipped those posts with your hard-on for me! I would love for you to follow me around this forum like you have been. Maybe with your VAST knowledge of the H3/H3Ts, I can learn from you.

First you may want to know is that the H3/H3T are NOT Colorado and Canyons. Just like the H2s are NOT rebadged Tahoes.

With either lift you have your tires stuck out past your fenders which leads to increased wear and tear on your front end components along with slinging crap all over, most notably gravel which likes to rain back down on you and in my case with a sunroof not a great situation.
You really gain nothing with the lift other than 'the look' I don't give a crap what mine looks like. save the money get a torsion lift, shocks, tires and a winch and your gtg.

Great now we have other hummer owners bashing each other, good job children. Keep making the forum an awesome place to learn and inviting for new members.
