You've already ordered them?
Yep!!! On the way here. I'll have them on by this Thursday.

$2700 on a new bed?! OMG!!! Maybe you can just put it in the back of the H2 and take it with you so you'll always have a nice place to rest!!!

I have a rancho for sale for an H2. Someone asked about an H3 so I pulled up rancho's site and nothing came up other than shocks. I never knew the H3 even came with a steering stabilizer.

Doesn't the H3 have a rack and pinion? if so I don't think they have a steering stabilizer.

Default shocks report

Ok, my turn to report back..........

I got my Bilstein 5100's on today. These replaced my original factory OEM shocks. they were 6 years old. While none of them were leaking, I decided to get the upgrade for my H2 and see just what all the hub-bub was about with them and if it was true.

I would have to agree that they do give a better ride than the stock shocks. I cant really say they are phenomenal but there is a noticeable difference in handling. Another notable issue was in turning or cornering, there was less sway or body roll when I purposely turned hard at a unpopulated corner away from traffic. I am impressed with this upgrade. I was at the point that my old ones did need replacing and now I have them. Its a nice mod to do if you value a soft yet firm ride.

My greatest joy comes from beating LoJac963 on a mod that he has yet to do!!

hahahaha smartass.

Glad to year you like them. I'll definitely have to pick a set up in the near future. I need to go through my entire suspension and start replacing things.

Did you install or have them installed?

I had them installed. My garage is so small, I have to go outside to change my mind.
