Any ideas as to why anyone would want to lower their H3? i saw one yesterday and was a bit perplexed.....

 

Same reasons someone would donk a car I suppose. Someone said it's cool and they follow their lead?

 

i thot the term was "slamming". i had a friend who slammed pickup trucks as part time business.
sum want em up,sum down.
me, i like the rake,ala 1955. if i leveled id lower the rear

 

Why would anyone put 24" wheels with super skinny low profile tires on an H3?

I don't know, but it does happen. I respect everyone's right to modify their ride to suit them, but I do reserve the right to snicker at them if appropriate.

 

+1 I snicker as well when I see them. Especially on any 4x4. But to each their own.

 

I don't snicker...I usually point and laugh! lol

 

Short legs ???

I usually have a good laugh too. Don't see the point of putting low profiles on an off-road vehicle.

 

Some people just like the looks of the Hummer but never intend to go off road.
I have to admit that a Hummer with 24 or even 26 inch wheels looks insane. It will ride horrible but it looks good.
I was long time thinking of doing the same but finally I couldn't go for it as it was just wrong for me. The H3 is a off road vehicle and as so I would like to keep the possibility to take it off the road.
Further I can imagine how rough the ride must be with the thinn rubber on the wheels...
But how boring would it be if we all would have the same taste

 

IMHO, its like elevating a ferrari & putting size 315's on them.. 4x4's were not meant for defying its purpose.. i don't know... maybe it comes with age? Lol
