buy a mercedes! just kidding... havent seen any threads on here regarding a softer ride but if i find one, ill let you know. cheers

 

my first h3, 07 luxury was a sweet ride. thats why i fell in love with hummers. then i bought a 10 adventure to get all the hot stuff!,for future resale value. ill prob never sell!!.
i miss the lux ride,and leather. you could try to dup that. 265 stock rubber and lux shocks.
it was sweet. the heated leather,what back therapy!!

 

I jsut put Bilsteins on the front and it rides pretty nice. When I was researching I found that the Bilstein HD's are basically the same as the 5100's but ride a bit softer.

Comfort is subjective.

 

I would go with the upgrade rancho 9000XLs that are made for your lift. They are adjustable for ride quality.

 

Thanks guys I will look into those shocks. I am also kicking around the idea of just putting it back to stock height and upgrade the shocks. will there be a big difference in how it rides and handles if i was to go back to stock height? thanks again

Are these the ones that offer the remote option for adjustment? Has anyone tried these out yet am curious to how the ride is.

i doubt that you will get a soft ride with aftermarket parts.
id love to have my stock lux back.

 

Night and day difference between the rancho lift and the torsion lift with Bilsteins once you put the wheels back under the fenders where they belong.

 

I don't have the Rancho lift, but I have heard from many who have it the 9000XLs deliver a better ride than the factory.

Yep, they do have a remote option for them. See above about the ride.
