Hey all,

Been lurking on here for a while and figured I'd post pics of my 2007 H3; had it since 05/2011. I did small mods (added hummer to the grille, and H3 to the mirrors, tinted windows). Wanting to level it but not sure whether to go the torsion key route or crank the torsion bolts. Just put Cooper Zeon LTZ's on it (wanted to go with 285's in this tire but it wasn't available) Also added the Recon Big Rig Ice Amber running lights with white courtesy lights; still trying to get the courtesy light part to work....need to add a relay being that the floor light and dome light don't break ground to turn on/off. Planning to add marker lights on the rear door and rear corners of the roof and cab lights in the next few months.

 

Nice truck and welcome.


Let me try to do you a favor. DO NOT BUY ANY KIND OF LEVELING KEYS! Complete and utter waste of $$. The stock T Bar Keys can raise the front of your H3 as high as it can be done.

 

Thanks Doc! I saw mixed answers while searching thru the threads in regards to leveling. I thought I could get away with cranking the torsion bolts and adding the bigger bumpstops instead of buying the leveling shocks. And I see many warnings about the front end nose diving if the torsions are cranked and no leveling shocks are added; I honestly cant stand how the front is lower than the back (owned 2 2nd Gen Durangos and cranked the torsions on those with no nose dive issues or anything; suspension just felt alot stiffer).

 

I'll second what Doc said.
"Leveling Kits" are a total waste of money.

 

X3 on Docs post. Save the cash for other mods. Just get an alignment about a week after the leveling has settled.

 

Nice too see your not lurking anymore! You have a nice rig there. Time to mod her up.
