Did you get your Alpha from Edmond Hyundai with like 25k miles on it?? If you did, I test drove it the night before you bought it and had every intention of buying in the morning, haha! Had to buy this one instead:

Looks good Martin! That's an H3x Alpha! Take care of it! They're rare! Rare, as in, it's one of less than 600!

I see you've got it leveled up, good work! Planning on putting bigger tires on those wheels? If so, I have to tell you not to make the same mistake I did (and Skeeter did it too)! Don't buy 295/70/18 nitto's! They look PERFECT, but they're designed for heavy duty trucks and have a load rating of 4000lbs EACH, and I think they ride like crap! I found out (a couple months after spending $1500 on tires) that General Tire is the only company (that I can find) that makes an all-terrain 35x12.50R18 with a normal duty (D rating) load rating of 2,900lbs and will ride ALOT BETTER and is only slightly wider than the 295's we've got. Just a heads up!

What are the differences between a H3x alpha and a normal alpha?

I'm not aware of any modifications, are you sure it's been raised? I am planning on some off road mods but not just yet!

Thanks for the advice.

H3 "X" add-ons:
What upgrades differentiate the H3x from the regular H3? The H3x starts out Luxury package equipped, and adds chrome tube steps, chrome appearance package and chrome fuel door. A body-color grille replaces the chrome unit, making the new chrome brush guard stand out more prominently.
The H3x also gets a body-color spare tire cover with a unique chrome embellishment featuring a HUMMER appliqué, plus an exclusive wheel, center cap and tire package.
On the inside, added to the luxury package components, embroidered headrests add a touch of exclusivity.
You can tell from the even stance of the vehicle you posted that it's been leveled up front. From the factory they had a rear-to-front downward rake that was part of the design styling of the vehicle. Yours hasn't been "modified" , it's just had the front torsion bar bolts cranked up. You can return it to stock in less than five minutes in your driveway if you desire.
