Well I decided to go out and look to see what shocks are on it now lo and behold they are the 9000xls lol. I adjusted them counter clockwise a while ago and still stiff. I know its a hummer and all and I still love it just want it to ride softer lol

Look for a number on the shock should read 1 to 9. 1 is softest and 9 is the most controled. Instead of just spinning the know take a look at each shock and adjust them to 1 or 2.

Wait a second. Are you the guy with the rubber bands for tires on some kind of rims 20" or larger? If that is you, I remember that your T-bars are cranked way too high even with the lift and that alone will give you a crappy ride.

Plus there is no rubber between the rim and the pavement! What PSI do you run your rubber bands at? Your rig will NEVER ride nice until you lose the Rimzzzzz'n'bands.

First of all where are you located?

Second, 99% of the people interested in the Rancho lift , would not want those tires & rims. So you would be better off selling them separate.

Like Bunger, I think you should sell the rims separate from the lift.

Not sure what the condition your used Rancho is. I have seen them for $450 and up to $900 depending on the condition.

You will need a few of the OEM parts in order to take the Rancho off to sell it. Take a look at the Rancho site. They have a PDF file of the install instructions you can download. Just do it in reverse order and replace what comes with the kit with the OEM stuff.

Buy an Escalade for a cushy ride. H3 is a truck that looks like an SUV.
I have some OEM shocks with 10,000 miles on them that ride like a Hoopty that would work!
