Default Advice/ Opinions on lifting H3 !?

Im looking to lift my 07 H3 but not exactly sure where to look as far as lifts go. I want a 2"-3" lift and am looking to do it myself. So my question is does anyone know of any good relatively easy to install and durable lifts. Id love to hear what anyone has done to their trucks as well. Any advice or opinions are greatly greatly appreciated !!!!!!

To level the rig just adjust the torsion bars (tons of how to threads here)

Rancho makes the only 4" lift for the H3/H3T.

Easy to answer question. Either you adjust the stock Torsion Bars and can add extended rear shakels as an additional option, or ..... you buy the Rancho 4" kit.

DO NOT BUY any leveling kit (Rough Country or any brand) as has been said here and at every other Hummer forums.... complete waste of cash. If I were 08 RED H3.... send it back while still in the box for a refund.

Awesome thank you !! If I were to buy a two inch lift for the back will it be too much to level the front from stock all the way to level after the two added in the back ?

you might be able to, but the consequences of doing so extremely risky. you will eat cv joints like crazy being that high.

Thanks! So what would be the best way to level it after putting shackles on the rear with out cranking the torsion bars too much ? Maybe get a spacer or somethin ?

go with a full suspension lift. there is no way to do it with out tearing something up. There is an available body lift, and with the truck leveled looks really good.
