Thats not a huge deal for the HUMMER guys like it is in the jeep community. The IFS does a great job at articulating. In fact, I'm not sure I can think of one guy who has removable endlinks *scratches head*

It's actually the rear bar that you want to remove for best articulation performance. For the fronts, most go with longer travel shocks instead.

One of the off-road magazines has/had a build article posted and they modified some Jeep remote disengagable rear links to fit H3. Very nice!

^Ya if anything you'd wanna disconnect the rear; but even still, that rear can articulate like a damn rubber band for the most part. I've had the rear tire slammed into the well and the other one so much room I could almost curl into a ball between the tire and well.

Default bump stops,travel??

For the fronts, most go with longer travel shocks instead. i quoted.

with bumps touching i dont see ANY up travel on h3!!

how can the suspension "articulate"when the stops are stopped just sitting on pavement?? there is almost zero free play

Because the stops can actually contort quite well; they can be moved all around from the suspension.

Default ahhhh,scuse me

this dont make sense:

"because the stops can actually contort quite well; they can be moved all around from the suspension."

ive mentioned this in previous posts and got no sensible answers

there is a rubber pad about 1 inch thick,TOUCHING the other side,,,there is no room to move up at all. thats why u really feel bumps.
the rear has about 3 inches till they touch, the front zero

just go out and look under your truck and ask how the wheel can move UP!!!

Your talking about the big yellow things in the back right? Because I've had those things friggen sideways lol. They move all around.

The stop you are reffering to on the front is probably the bump-stop, which is what prevents nose-dive under heavy braking.

holysh*t thats the coolest thing in the world. SIX INCHES of additional travel??? I had no idea there was that much more to gain! Thanks a TON for that link dude! And for less than $200? Hell yes! That extra 6" of articulation is a LOT
