Leaf spring shops can re-arc the springs the other way too (flatten them out) ...using a spring arcing machine. I've seen it done. Take your tk to a spring shop ...they can make your tk the height of your choice for not that much $$ and about an hour of time.

hahaha for 2 inches in the rear kind $$$$$$$$
If I recall correctly, only 2 lift kits were ever made for the H3. Rough Country, which didn't have good reviews and didn't last long, and of course Rancho. Your best options for raising the rear end have already been presented.

Late to this thread, but I thought I'd show what I got when I refreshed my suspension. Decided to get OME leafs, the Schwarttzy high clearance u-bolt plate and his shackles (pictured). It was way too high in the rear. The rear view mirror became useless.
I ended up taking out the shackles, but even then it is stanced high in the back, lol.

23.5" torsion crank at the front. I might pop it up to 24.5" just to level it out a little at the expense of the CVs.
dam that loos really high in the rear how many inches did you add.

Not really sure. I think I read that the OME leafs add 1.5 to 1.75”.

The Schwarttzy extended shackles do 1.25”

The high clearance leaf spring bolt plate adds about 3/8”.

So somewhere between 3.1 and 3.4 inches; I took out the extended shackles though so it’s more like 1.85” high now. Still a noticeable rake, but not as crazy.
