Hi from Louisiana! Traded Tacoma for H3T, few questions to get started:

I am happy with the height and ready to get an alignment but they told me they would only have the factory specs for an alignment and not a raised front end.

Does anyone have or know where to find the alignment specs for a lifted front?
What am I missing here? Why would they want non-factory specs (camber/caster/toe) after cranking the front end up a couple inches?

I'm not sure what they had in mind, just relaying what goodyear asked me for.

I am assuming they shouldn't need this to align and find a different place to take it to?

To help correct the bouncing in front, would you recommend the bilsteins or rancho shocks? 95% driving on pavement.

Will either shock get close to factory ride? I know it won't be 100% but 90% is a good compromise for the way it looks.:)

For the bouncing, you probably want the rail Duty 1/2" longer front bump stops.

If you have leveled the front end of your Hummer H3 by adjusting the torsion bars, you may well notice that you suffer from front end dive when braking and excessive suspension movement. The Trail Duty Extended Bump Stops will cure this problem. Available in two sizes, +1/2" and +1", these poly bump stops will help prevent nose dive and reduce excessive suspension movement.
Important: The best way to assess which bump stop size is suitable for your vehicle is to measure the distance between the existing bump stop and the lower a-arm, (after adjusting the torsion bars). Ideally you want the new bump stops to have small gap, 1/8" - 1/4". It is important the new bump stops are not resting on the a-arm or supporting the vehicle weight.
The +1/2" bump stops are recommended for most applications. +1" are not recommended for off-road use.
