UCP for a H3 Rancho lift

[JoshuaL]

Hey I was just wondering if any one makes a UCP for a H3 with a rancho lift or is it something i will have to get fabbed up.

Thanks JoshuaL

Going to have to be fabricated but Reaper had one built. I don't have photos but I am sure he will post them up when he sees the thread.

Use the Hummer rear UCP and get the front bars replaced and cross bars added at a metal fab guy. Should be around 400-500 for the custom work. From my original post on cho:

The problem with mass producing these is that the cross member attachments really need to be beefed up too, otherwise they'll just rip right off of the crossmember. Your best bet is to find an auto metal fabrication shop close to you (or rockrashengineering.com if you're in Denver!) and show him what Toby did for me. I will post more pics showing the details-- there's a lot that went into it, and those tubes are pretty hardcore (versus the wuss tubes Rancho ships). It cost me $450 for this, to give you an idea of the cost involved. It's a lot better design than what I first had in mind, though-- good thing I took it to someone who knew what the hell he was doing!!!

ucp for a rancho h3 lift

I used the gm ucp with my rancho lift on my h3t. I welded a 3.5" piece of flat stock steel to the front of the front ucp, and drilled holes through both front and rear ucp at the middle mounts so the rancho bolts would fit. Used the rancho front skid to align and mark the holes as a template on the 3.5" piece of flat stock. Bounced of the rocks at Rausch Creek this past weekend and it held up fine.

Photos? :hang:

What about that guy that made a template out of cardboard and had a really nice guard fabbed up. Anyone remember that?

reviving an old thread!

Anyone have any other examples??

I am going to try and get under the T and build a plan for this over the weekend and maybe get to the welding wide of things... but was hoping to get some further details from anyone else who may have done this, what worked, what they wouldn't do again

I made mine...I did a ****ty ass job looking back. Welds were terrible compared to what I can do now, notching the tube kinda sucked but with all that said it has done what it was supposed to and very well at that. I have laid my truck on the UCP with no issues.

Maybe gfbh3t would sell you his?

:shifty:

Just got a brand new set this week, so that would be a bit counter productive

So did you slip this under the two bars that run front to back on the Rancho kit, by just notching the bar?

Or am i getting mixed up?

This is what I was hoping to try out
