If he wants the low down on on that setup, he should try and contact our member INKED out of Hawaii.

He was running:

RANCHO 4" lift
315 / 70R17 "35's" PRO COMP EXTREME M/T TIRES
17 x 10 PRO COMP EXTREME RIMS





Then when he tested the setup:



He got this:



And this on a separate occasion:



Then:

"Since this is just a street ride now I went bigger on my tires adding Super Swampers IROK's 36 x 13.50's for a more aggressive look"!





His last thoughts on the modification:

"I wouldn't recommend having this setup on extreme trails though, this is all for "looks"! I am in the market for a 'beater' that I can take on the trails but I still love my H3 - it's funny when I pull up next to an H2 and the driver actually has to look uprather than looking down at me, this ride definitely turns heads on the streets".

 

This thread goes back to the old hotrodders rule of thumb. Build one thing up and break another, This happens to every vehicle. Put a 500hp power plant in and break the rear, built the rear end or drive line, built that up and break the tranny.. ect ect..

 

That's exactly what I did on my last project truck and it was part of the fun. However,
stuff on a 77 Ford 4X4 pickup was a lot cheaper and easier to come by.....The junk yard
guys knew me on a first name basis as well as the guys at the drive shaft shop.

 

This also reminds me of another thread a while ago about H3 Tie Rod Ends.

Seems like some of our rigs were breaking them routinely.

 

Are there upgraded tie rods or half shafts that help avoid any breakage? Don't have any intent of doing a Lift, but would be nice to have the upgrades.
