Rancho lift with 33's?

Post pics! Curious to see how it looks if you've done it or know anyone who has!

33"s with the Rancho will look rather goofy. That's not much larger than the factory tires. Nearly everyone with a Rancho is running at least a 35" tire. The H3 has huge wheelwells and after you add the Rancho...it will become very obvious that more tire is needed to fill in the voids. Its so common that you might be hard pressed to find a photo of a Rancho lifted H3 with anything smaller.

If you get the rancho, you're going to need new tires and new rims. You'll need more backspacing than the stock rims. And while you're at it, you're going to need new tires too.

And while you're at it, you might as well add a locking front diff. And if you add a locking front diff, you might as well upgrade the torsion bars.

And while you're at it, you really should reinforce the UCP that comes with the rancho. Replace those aluminum bars with something a little more solid (I have a post on this somewhere BTW...).

And if you upgrade those, you're probably going to want to upgrade the speakers at the same time. I mean, you want it to SOUND good, right?

This is kinda like the hummer version of "if you give a mouse a cookie".

Didn't Rancho announce a couple months ago that they were no longer producing/supporting the H3 lift kits? Did something change? Seems silly to be dreaming of getting a kit that has limited availability and support.

Yeah they stopped producing the h3 lift kit what's left is all they had 3 full kits left few months ago with no replacement parts and there not going to be able to warrenty them. So I'd stay away

I wouldn't really let that deter me from getting one. I have one on the T and a spare kit in storage for a future rig. About the only thing on the Rancho kit that couldn't be fixed or fabbed if necessary would be the knuckles. If some fool hit me hard enough to destroy one it will probably be the least of my problems that day anyway.

Then take the insurance money and go SAS.
