H3 Rough Country Leveling Kit

[WRB100]

I recently purchased and installed the following leveling kit for my 2006 H3 and according to the company(Rough Country), they state I can lift it 2.5 inches with no issues. My original measurement from center hub to bottom wheel well was 22" inches. My finished measurement is 24.5". I have read a couple opinions that this may be too much for some suspension components. Looking for any other thoughts about Rough Country's recommended lift suggestion.

So far it has been a couple weeks and after the immediate front end alignment it looks awesome and rides good. I was told by the alignment mechanic that I may feel steering pull, but I have not at all so far.

You should of need no kit in order to level your H3 the easiest and cheapest way is to torque your T-bars...I myself was gonna buy a leveling kit before I learned that all you need it to have a well level H3 was to crank the T-bars. Just try to stay between 23.50-24 u not wanna pass that since your cv will be in a weird angle and wear fast....as well you might want to get some longer shocks to make up gir the new height...altought u can get away with the stock. I know I did for a year and a half...before I installed the Rancho lift kit. Good luck buddy and post some pic of the beast.

Now put some extended shackles out back.

Fellas, please check out the link I posted revealing the kit I installed. It will show you what is included; shock extension spacers, tortion bolt extension spacers and leaf spring shackles.

It's not a bad leveling kit for the $$, but you honestly don't need the spacers on the tbars in the front. Spacers on the shocks yes, but not on the tbars. I bought that kit for the rear shackles (my Alpha came with some monsters in the rear).

I put the longer Warrior Products shackles on mine, those almost look stock length. But as was said, to LEVEL it you do not need anything other than a wrench. The shackles actually make it rear-end high again, you can't get the front high enough to level out with the back after shackles.

The RC shackles are 3/4 to an inch taller than the OEM shackles.

So that would be less than 1/2" taller all total out back.

Yep that kit is basically a leveling kit. It's not a Rancho lift that's for sure!

 

[WRB100]

So, my question to anyone who has leveled their H3 out either with a kit install or not, how many inches did you raise the front?

 

[rsc]

I raised mine 1/4". But, the previous owner (?) had already cranked it to 23 3/8". Stock is somewhere around 22 1/4" (it varied a lot).

previous owner of my Alpha had the front sitting at 24 1/4 and the CV's were at a bad angle and u could barely steer. I am at 23 1/4 now and it's perfectly fine.
