New 6" Hummer H3 Lift Kit??

[Acer4LO]

Just came across this ad on craigslist: https://boulder.craigslist.org/pts/d/hummer-h3-6-lift-kits/6454164684.html

Not a lot of info, but this could be worth a look. Anyone know anything about this? Never heard of the company. I will copy and paste the ad here as well:

"I was approached to fabricate a lift for the Hummer H3 and now have jigs to make more. So I'm selling complete custom built 6" lift for 2005-2009 H3. Shocks are extra but I have Doetsch 8000 series shocks for $55ea in custom length for the lift. Have adjustable Pro Comp MX6 shocks for $100ea. Price of kit is $1800, and is made to order and deposit is required before I start. Comes black painted but I can do other colors. Includes bump stops. Custom outer tie rod ends are included. You reuse your factor rear springs but axle is moved to gain 6" of lift but comes with brackets and u bolts to do this. Extended factory style sway bar links are included. Onlything not included is shocks and install. Need spacers if you run factory rims. ROCKHARD Fab"

New 6" Hummer H3 Lift Kit??

Hmmm. I like the bump stops better than the Rancho. Not sure about offset tie rods. I suppose that is the alternative to casting new knuckles. I assume it’s a weld-on kit.

That link needs more pictures!

Offset tierods are super sketchy and welding a extension to the factory cast knuckle for the upperbaljoint...

Agreed. No way I would trust either technique. It is cool to hear that someone is making an effort but, as most of us have discussed in the past...modding the IFS seems to be an “all or nothing” task.

And yes...nobody will drop $2k on a craigslist ad with two photos. I’m sure if you inquired, you could get better pics. This is just a teaser to get some business.

Did they really paint the exhaust? I hope that was with high temp paint if they did.

Those u-bolts in the rear are also concerning to me, pretty sure they shouldn't be splayed out like that. Either they aren't tightened fully yet, or the holes for the top clamp plate or slightly too close together. I'll assume that those new pads are welded to the tube as well and not just being held on by compression/friction. The parts for the SOA for the rear though look like they might be useful on their own though.

I guess that’s why you need spacers.

I'd like to hear from someone that has done this and actually gone off road with it. To me where it's extended seems a lil thin.

“Lift” does not automatically mean “better off-road”

I'd take no lift over that lift, that's some rather sketchy looking work. Really, if you can't be bothered to do a simple spell check and upload some decent photo's you're just wasting your time.

I'm working on a project that's basically a serious tummy tuck. There's a very specific aftermarket exhaust I went with for this idea.

 

[SuperBuickGuy]

You'd figure his website would have more stuff there.... nope.

and nope, not impressed at all.

 

[Happy Hummer]

I'm all for creative fabrication but .... not certain about this CL ad. I would like to see a complete you tube promo style video as to the inner workings of this lift.
Exactly who put this kit together and or fabricated it and what expertise they have. Engineering a mc double doesn't take quite as much experience as a lift kit.

A tummy tuck? You sir are a mad genius!

He sent me some pics, this is the only one that is new. Not sure of this design, the torque arm is lowered by a bracket in the rear. Eliminates any real gains of a lift. Knuckles are cut and welded to extend them. Cast can be welded but definitely not as strong as factory.

 

[06 H3]

That’s the pro to the Rancho. It didn’t lower the torsion bars.

Is the front differential angle different than stock? It looks pointed upwards towards the drive shaft?

If only Bebe's setup was available as a bolt-on . . . .

Yeah, that last pic reminded me of some of the feaux-by-fours here in LA that have the torsion bars lowered to the point where the breakover angle is actually worse than stock.

 

[Acer4LO]

To be honest, that is a terrible idea to have the torsion bars hang that low. I could see you easily damaging them in a rock garden or if you get high centered. How are you supposed to add skid plates? Sorry guys if I got you excited.

 

[amrg]

It leans more towards looks than functionality!
But hey with 6" lift you can fit 40s no problem, possibly 42s!

Based off of pictures, avoid this. Not a good option.

Not a whole more info than what was discussed in this thread. While this lift does lift your vehicle up higher, it is for pavement vehicles judging by the way it is designed.

 

[amrg]

I think the people that go through mud/water crossings will benefit from it as I dont think it matters alot if the torsion bars are dropped

Or I could be corrected?

I know that in sand wheeling it doesnt matter as they will just tunnel through the sand. When I go in the desert I can go and keep going as long as my frame isn't on the ground, once it is then its game over!
