Talking Hi Guys..new here! Leveling Kit help!

Hi Everyone
I'm new here so not too sure if I am even doing this right
I have an '06 H3 and I want to level out the front, I hate how it is lower! Is there any specific kit/brand you guys would recommend? I also am thinking about putting rims on too when I level it..but not too sure what size to do. I was thinking either 20 or 22's, what do you guys have?

Thanks!!
Stephanie

Default levelling

Hi Stephanie Try doing a search, sounds like theres hundreds of posts on levelling and from what I been reading I think 99% dont use a kit just adjust the torsion bars

Welcome, what part of CT are you from? I'm in Southington.

DO NOT waste money on a leveling kit.
Look at the FAQ's in the H3 section below to learn about leveling with just a t-bar crank.
As for 20" or 22" rims, I like more tire less rim.
I run stock 16" rims with 33" tires.

Have him read this - https://www.hummerforums.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=11428

It's easy to do. I did mine in about 20 minutes

Here's where you actually take the measurements, bottom of fender to center of wheel

Stephanie I have my '07 H3 leveled and since it has the 3.7L engine I'm going to go with 33x12.5's on 18" wheels. I'd like to go with 35's but I just think it's too much tire for this engine.
