Those Fox shocks are nice, but from what the website says they only make them for stock height, not leveled...unless you know otherwise?

Awhile ago I was emailing the guys at Rancho about their shocks, suggesting they should make some to fit a leveled H3, about a 2.25-2.5" lift in front. They were kinda a-holes about, talking down to " you guys who do that" and we should "get a real lift which is better" ( whichissortatrue, but it has it's pros and cons)...so that turned me off to Rancho[sm=smiley21.gif]..which dont fit anyway

At this point for me its only down to ProComp's, or the Cognitos, other than that I have not found shocks that fit a leveled H3.

The fox are an inch longer than stock. Not much help. ProComps did not make the OKIE list, but he could add em in when he gets time https://www.hummerforums.com/m_85049/tm.htm

ahh, I missed the OKIE list. The dude at 4 Wheel Parts told me there were only the ProComps. Obviously there are the Congnitos, I havent seen the Edelbrocks. And I'll have to check the email but I think I was talking to the Rachoengineers before Okie's post, so maybe they areavailable now???

I'm suprised there are so few options available for a leveled Hummer, most people are doing that rather than getting full lift kits, you would think there would be some $$ in that.

The 4wheelparts guys told me the 18" Pro Comp 9000's would be great with a leveled H3.It's also affordable! I'm thinking on getting it soon.

How many inches rise in the front does it take to level a stock H3?

Good question Tex. The levelling measurement is 24.5" from the center of the wheel hub to bottom of fender. I think this usually means 2.5-3.5" increase betweenground and bottom of the fender, depending on your factory ride set and tire size?? People do not post it in that measure normally, but that is appx. what it boiled down to on mine if I recall correctly. Tape measure yours, there is a high probability that your driver side will be 1/2' or more lower than the other????
