Default Hummer H3x 7 inch suspension and body lift.

Hey whats up guys? i'm new here but i will be sticking around for awhile.
I'll tell you a little bit about my car before i get to my questions.
(by the way, i'm 18 and my dad is helping me with most of this.
I dont know all that much about lifts, etc.)
I have a 2007 Hummer h3x sonoma red. 65,000 miles.
It is leveled with 35" nitto trail grapplers, 18" chrome rockstars,
all the little chrome accessories, exhaust, etc.

Here's where i need help:
I was looking at the tuff country and rancho lifts but i'd really like to go
alot bigger than 4". I have found a 7 inch suspension lift made my McGaughys and i was hoping to stack that with a 1-2 inch body lift if possible. i saw the full throttle 10 inch suspension lift (couldnt find a price, thats probably not a good sign and i'm not really interested in that lift) and my dad thinks that that'll be too big and pretty expensive. I'm mostly trying to get a total of 8-9" if possible.
So if someone could tell me how that sounds that would help out alot.
I also have a few quick questions that i'll list below.

1) can you stack a leveling kit with a suspension and body lift or will i have to remove the leveling kit?
2) Will i have to reset angles, cv joints, driveshaft, differential?
3) On the body lift will i have to relocate the bumpers? and with the 1-2 inch body lifts would gaps be a major issues?

Thanks alot guys.
I'll try to upload some pictures. It's not working for some reason.

You never needed a "leveling kit" as about 2 billion posts on here have said, the OEM T Bar keys accomplish the same thing.


I would suggest you refer these questions to the maker of the lift you are contemplating.


In lieu of additional comments I can think of, welcome and good luck.

or you could use that money for gas and maintenance? or maybe college? Hope that screen name does not become a reality!
I think this was a homemade custom mess but I can tell you it rolled and was done. I think it hit a curb leaving a bar. Self correcting behavior issue.

However, it's your Hummer do what you will, but show us the pictures.

hate to see an h3 totaled, but, it does mean there will be a growing supply of parts for us junkyard rats!
i got yard scrounging in my teen blood and it infected me since.
my mustang/pinto builds were a ton of junkyard digging

lol okay the red one is a bit ridiculous.
I really like the height that this one is sitting at

(obviously mine wouldnt be 10 suspension though, must likely 7 inch suspension and 1-3 inches body lift)
and @drtom: why would it be totaled from a suspension lift and small body lift?
