Default Body lift + Leveling

Hi guys,

I have a question, it has probably already been discussed, but I searched and not found a clear answer.

I leveled my H3T using the T-bar crank technique. I put extended bumpstops and bilstein longer shocks. I took mesurements and I'm set at 23.5" as discussed here many times by members, BUT i would need an additional 1.0" to 1.5" to have my wheels able to clear my fenders at full turn.

if I go with a outfitter design H3T body lift kit, will I mess with some steering components and geometry, or a body lift is a different process than will not affect this...? It's my first truck, I'm learning a lot right now!

thank you guys! You are all so useful!

Consider either changing your tires...

Or cut or change out fenders.

dude what tires /wheels do you put on? You don't need a body lift after cranking your T bars Put 1.5 or 2" longer shackles at the rear leafs and that's it. You must do an alignment after cranking the T bars !!! for me, i removed the front Sway bar. Excellent off road , more flexing on front now and no rubbing at the front bar just a little slower in round abouts now ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Sam,
It all depends on the width and offset of your wheels and the tire size.
Please post that information.

I have run 37s on OEM wheels with a 1" body lift.

Same here, almost all of our H3s run 37s on OEM wheels with just a bodylift.

Body lift will lift... the body. It'll help some but like Tainter said, it really depends on the wheel specs.

Who ever selected your Rimz, did not know what they were doing. 35s fit all day on stock wheels.

Looks like SamG looked in to HF today, but never responded to any of our questions.
