Hey Everyone,
As most have heard, we acquired the take off suspension kit from (Vay) Vdawg from his Hummer H3. Our intentions are to make a comparable, but upgraded kit available to all of you for purchase.
Before we get started on machining these parts we wanted to chat with the community to verify our direction and see if anyone had any input.
The knuckle, we all know this is the piece of the puzzle that is most crucial to these kits. There are other areas for improvement, but we know that this is the key piece.
Our design incorporates a 1 PIECE BILLET STEEL, knuckle.
This is something that we have decided on that makes the kit unique in its entirety but also yields us the ability to make improvements on the previous executions. The obvious advantages of Billet vs Cast make this very appealing.
The rest of the kit will be of our own unique design, with a similar end result to previous 4" kits.
Our main reason for reaching out to you all, the community, is to help us gauge if we are going overkill with our ideas. We want to bring the best possible quality product to the market but this also has to be a worthy business call for us. The raw material alone for the knuckles is not something we are willing to absorb in the midst of market testing, we want to verify you are all supportive before we go for it.
Previously, and almost as standard, a USED suspension lift kit (4" Hummer H3) in the market is $3-6k depending on condition, location, use, kit complete, etc.
When new, They were retailed In the close range of $5k.
For us to produce this kit, as designed with the 1 Piece Billet upright / Knuckle, We are in the neighborhood of $6,500 plus freight.
These are current projections, material costs have gone through the roof lately and may be different when we get to market.
We are looking for feedback, suggestions, all things of this nature pertaining to a new styled lift kit for the H3.
Lets all work together and get you guys the most badass H3 lift kit possible to date.
Looking forward to your responses,
PHR
