Lowered Suspension and 26" Wheels. 2009 H3T
To start, I know that this type of styling is not everyones cup 'o tea, however, it's mine and not yours 
I traded in my 2006 H3 for an 08 H3 this past January after unsuccessfully looking for an H3T. I figured I would never find an H3T with the options, colors, etc.. I wanted. However, after checking autotrader.com in late April,I found this one at a dealership in SC. It's a 2009 Luxury Edition with no crome and the tan leather interior. other optioins included the touch screen radio, sunroof, and BU camera. I absolutley love it, and after having owned two H3's I can say the H3T is certainly more fun to drive! I transfered over the grouund force suspension kit I had from my 06 and added the 26x10 wheels. Other minor mods include the smoke side markers and the clear corners.

Sweet ride its definitely my style also 
. I am looking at a set if 26" rims for my T but wasn't sure if there would be any rubbing issues if a drop kit was also installed...are there?? How much drop did you get in the front and rear?? Glad you posted this helps me make my decision a lot easier

The truck handles great with the new wheels and tires, and it still rides good too. The suspension kit doesnt "slam it to the ground" it only takes it down about 2" in the front and 3-4" in the back, just removing some of the fender gap. There are no rubbing issues with the wheels, full turn radius, etc...In fact, it looks like there is enough room left that 28" wheels would fit, but that might look too big
Muddydawg, good eye on the DARE plate, those things are like gold now. I'm from the south hills of Pittsburgh.
Thanks again for the comments.
