Just like the pink tie rods in your signature pic? :gay:

Funny little man. They are actually red. Well, right about now, more like brown. Glad Reliader got you taken care of. And where's my $, ****er?

Ride is good. The new springs are stiffer but not uncomfortable. Moving to 35s has certainly affected braking as I don't get quite the same bite as before. It's also so much quieter now w/o the giant hole in the manifold.

It's going to take a bit of getting used to getting in and out as it's nearly 2" taller at the driver's door. Valley Spring Service did a great job with the springs, giving them a light coat of paint and nailing it on the height I wanted to gain.

Parker's fine with the new config, though it means he can't jump in and out as it's too tall. It was close before and he could do it but I think it's out of his reach now.

And I'll need to send the PCM to PCM of NC soon. Last year's trans swap wiped out the custom configuration and now with the 35s the speedo seems off about 9%.

You need one of these. Both my dogs cant get in or out of the hummer so I decided to make it easy for them. Ramps weird my dogs out for some reason so I went with steps.

It does look good. You have used your H3 well and now given it new life.

What tire comparison did you use to determine 1" difference?

I did just generalize the size difference, in that my 305s (when new ) were about 33" and these new 315s are about 35".

Found the receipt for the leaf spring bushings. They aren't OEM. They are Dayton and I got them from Rockauto. For whatever reason, it's only listed under the 2006 H3. You need Dayton RB-231 and Dayton RB-172 for each leaf.
