Hey all,
Im planning on leveling my 08 H3 this week or next and will be using my stock keys and buying the bilstein/bump stop kit from Trailduty. My question is do I level out the stock keys first then install the shocks/stops? Or install shocks/stops then level the keys? Just curious on which order works the best and easiest, thanks. I will have before and after pics soon

 

shocks wont matter,now or next month when its ,,nice?

bump stops mite be another story, since they will be bigger,probably a little rough gettin in b 4 u raise it up.
id wait on them

 

I agree I don't think it would matter

 

The easiest would be to level it and not worry about changing the bump stops and shocks. The bump stops will not fit until the front is raised/leveled.

 

thanks guys, Im going to level first then install the bilstein kit. Do any of you guys have any pros/cons with the kit? Stiff/bouncy etc etc..

 

i drove my truck for a month with out the new shocks and bump stops. And i know others have posted different but it drove like crap and the bouncyness and nose dive made it feel unsafe around corners and high speeds. After i installed the shocks and bumpstops last week it feels better than stock before i raised it. nice and tight again. I also wanted to give it time to break in the bars at the new height before i aligned it which will be next week. it has settled about a quarter inch since i tweaked the t bars.

 

X2 on what Hcford750 I couldn't of said it better : )
