I have an 07 H3 purchased in Oct of 06. I just got the Truxxx Hummer H3 3"
Leveling Kit a couple of days ago, which I purchased from Fat Bobs Garage.
(Product ID : 403030)
Early this afternoon, I called Bryan McCravy of Extreme Off Road in
Douglasville Georgia to have them put on.



The front was raised so there is 9.5 inches from the top of my factory 32
inch tires to the bottom of the fender to match the back.
He had them on before I could finish a chapter in the book I was reading.
He rode shotgun while I tested it out in his land. We drove off through
the woods up over hills on bumpy roads and through ditches.
It was a very smooth ride. Much better than when the dealership turned the
factory ones up to their limit.
One of the main reasons I needed the lift is because I am over 6 feet tall
and the way the vehicle originally sat I could not see the traffic lights,
when first inline at the intersection unless I leaned down. Well that
matter has been resolved and the truck looks and rides so much better.
I will have the front end aligned although I drove it about 50 miles back
home on the interstate and it drove straight and true.

 

Does this kit come with shock ext. or is is just the keys in the pic

 

Both the shock extenders and the keys.

 

one thing that most people fail to realize is that by cranking the t-bars you are extending the shock, in some cases past their limits. This is why some have suffered rough riding conditions after raising the front with a t-bar crank. You can use shock extender brackets or buy a set of shocks with a longer throw and your ride quality will be back to or damn near stock.

 

I specifically bought this kit based on the same advice from my Hummer dealership.

 

I went to pick up my truck from the dealership last night after a front end alignment was done.
The service department was closed and my truck was outside. Looking at my truck from the front, about 15 feet away,the front tires were forming the letter A. One of the sales managers was not sure but said it did not look right. He advised me to leave it.

I left it at the dealer last night and called them this morning. They didn't give me an answer they just said they would have a look at it.

Shouldn't they look straighter up and down?

 

yup, they should be straight up and down, this is what is done in n alignment. I'm guessin they never aligned your truck or if they did they had the janito fill in for a sick tech

 

I learned an important lesson today. Don'tfile the paperwork until the job is finished.
The specs for the correct alignment for this kit were different than the H3 specs. I
gave them thealignment specs from the paperwork that camewith the kit and the
alignment was correct.

The truck drives straight as an arrow.

I don't know what the 07 H3 specs are but the specs for this kit are:

Caster Left: 1.5
Caster Right : 2.0
Camber Left: 0
Camber Right: -1/4
Toe In: -1/32
Need Camber Kit: No

 

do yo think those specs are the same for the readylift kit ? Have not put mine on yet has there been any issues with getting the alignment right with these kits

 

Here is the link to the Ready Lift web site. I do not see any information on the downloadable PDF file that gives alignment specs.

If I am not mistaken the specs are based on the amount of lift. My kit was a 3 inch lift this one is a2.5 inch lift.

Before you make a purchase I would advise you to contact someone at Readylift to see if they have alignment specs. Had Truxxx notsupplied them neither NTB nor the Hummer dealership would have figured it out.

My experience showed that alignment specsfrom the manufacturer of the key and not factory specs were needed to get my wheels correctly aligned.
