Thanks guys. I went with the same company 06 H3 went with for the spacers, so i can run my stock rims. In my head i'm trying to build what I think Hummer should of done. In the next month or so i plan on either keeping the stock front bumper or go with a Thor front bumper and winch.

Didbyou put on the 9000 Rancho shock? If so what setting are you using. I found #2 was best for me , but I was after a softer ride.

Yea the rancho rides nice the rear springs will start to sag though


That is the only thing I'm afraid of about the kit. But so for so go. I need to take my rig back to Lafayette Customs once I hit 500 miles on the Rancho kit and 2 times every year following, just for mantaince/check up. I think i see rear airbags in my future with all the towing i do during hunting season.

I think doing the bebe leaf spring mod would be better than airbags IMO. I remember the gist of it, but 06 H3 would be able to tell you for sure what it entails.

Thanks but i don't like the front rake with a SOA conversion. I bought my H3 strickly for off roading during hunting season and hitting a mud pit or two during the year. Also towing boat and fourwheeler. Thats why i'm considering air bags once the rear starts to sag. But thanks for the suggestion.

this is a different bebe mod. you take the main leafspring from a 1 ton chevy and add that to your leafspring pack (IIRC, please verify with Bebe or 06 H3 if you think you might be interested in this mod). SOA is a whole different mod.

Soa will not give u a rake with the rancho lift...only without the front rancho kit will give u a rake. No one has ever done the 2nd main spring from a 2500 with a rancho pack
