Also we sit them same until you put a small lift kit on it.

Thank you solidjj and i have one more question for you i love the way your truck sits in these pics. What about the rear should i add shackles or don't even bother what size rim and tire do you have in this pick because i basically want my truck to look like this but with different rims. And if you don't mine how much was that rancho kit and did you install it or have it done. Thank you for all this help

No need for a shackle unless you want to have the rear end higher.

Wheels are 20", tires 35" (for sale also)

I got the kit for $500 from and old timer, did it myself with a few buddy's.

Real answer is that a Rancho 4" lift kit will start at $2250 + install if you don't have the tools and know how. It will go up from there due to the fact you will have to either buy new rims/tires to clear the new knuckles or you can do the wheel spacer stuff which will cost $$ to buy the good ones not the cheap things that will have your wheel fly off at 75mph on the highway.

What kind of bull$**** you talking about TAINTER? The lift kit doesn't come with shocks and with shipping you looking at $3,000.

Lift kit is $2,374.99
The basic shock set up is $400
Shipping give or take maybe $300?
Total maybe $3,000.

Make sure you know what your talking about before you say something.

You are a funny one. If you read what you quoted in plain old English. I said "start at". That means without any extras, a start point.
,Trailduty.com with shocks. $2550.00 with $125.00 $HIPPING to MI.

Just priced one out 4 days ago.

Yeah the kit is expensive and I went to a professional off road shop that will get the lift and install it for 3700 so to be honest I think I will just do the t bolt thing and enjoy my h3 for a year or two first since I have only had it now for 2 months but thank you guys for the input but just out of curiously what do you think of that price and it comes with a warranty

Ok tough guy, I was getting my numbers from the rancho site. Maybe if you have posted what site you got your numbers you wouldn't have to act like a keyboard cowboy. Plus I spent $500 for my lift kit so no need to worry about how much your saving.

Price is a little rich for my blood but with time and saving anything is possible plus CL is your frind. I have $15K of crap on the T but that was with 5 years of time. In the end it's your money try not to bomb you money into the hummer, and make sure the part is a need and not a want. Be happy with it and as fair as the warranty gose I have no clue, I stop worrying about that years ago.

What? "tough guy", sounds like you are the tough guy with your name calling and swear words.

You can get a Rancho 4" Lift model# RS6558B from 100s of online suppliers and some offer free shipping, others offer shocks included, others charge $300 for shipping to Mexico. You didn't state where your information came from but I should. Double standard????

Just trying to put out accurate information on a HUMMER forum. Try it, it's fun!

OK I'll play the tough guy role but just for the record you were one acting like a female banning me from CHO for "No reason at all", we get it you think your an all knowing and mighty hummer d!ck. Your the type of guy that gives hummer owners the bad rep with the little cheap shots rather acting like a man and give a helping hand when needed.

I could go on but really I don't want to waste my time on person as yourself that gets butt hurt from a members using your idea on another forum.
