Yeah, I’d prefer a level ride height across the board too. I searched a bunch of old threads and pics of Rancho lifted H3s. Seems they had a bit of rake. My spring guy and I decided to shoot for +2-3” up from the current ride height. At 3” a bit of rake but I expect that to settle out after a...

Yeah, the ranch leaf springs are totally shot, sags a ton in the back. So much that if I fill the gas tank to full it smells horribly of gas, coughs, sputters and stalls until I burn some off. I think it’s sitting so low in the back that at full it runs back into the fill pipe and jacks with...

+3 in back. - 1/2 in front. + 4” in back. Same - 1/2” in front. Current Stance: Pulling the rear leaf springs tomorrow. Dropping them off Monday for a re-spring. Let me know what you think! Thanks! Matt

Here’s what I got from RANCHO Engineering: https://hummer4x4offroad.com/forum/threads/rancho-lift-bushing-part-number-info-from-rancho-engineering.15138/ I got some of my bushing from: http://www.valleyspringservice.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4&zenid=6rqp3re6vdpt3u972c11e0ce71 Good...

Yep, we’ve had it since fall of 2017. It never cranked that strongly! Problem solved, just a crappy old starter with only 120K ish miles.

Battery terminals new a while back, set screws and soldered in place. Zero corrosion in the cables. New A/C Delco Gold starter with all connections well cleaned. And good battery. Never cranked so strongly. Thanks all! Merry Christmas!!!! Matt

Ugh! Sad, my Rain man of alternators and starters shop is permanently closed, and the phone number is disconnected. I hope the old guy just retired!

I’m sure its owner loves it.

Thanks for the info! I have the Rainman of starters and alternators local to me. Pretty much a mad scientist shop! He will call out what you carry in before you get to the mad cluttered counter. “Old prestolite marine alt, no parts any more for that one….” Whopner is on at 5…. I’ll pull it...

ALPHA OWNERS: Tried 2 different fully charged batteries. Always starts, just labors to spin it. Weak starter? Cables are good, as are the terminals that are set screwed and soldered with no corrosion present in the connection or cable. Connections at the starter are clean and tight. Let me...

Ranch Engineering bushing replacement part numbers and suppliers. Every bushing in the Rancho lift is in this post as received from Ranch Engineering. Worked great for me. Good luck! Matt

Paid my detail shop an extra $100 to pull the seats and carpet to clean and get the musty smell out. Of course they didn’t do the drains properly so I had to fix those myself. Still was well worth the extra $$$s because they did a great job on the cleaning. Later, Matt L.

Some mostly finished pics. Need more hole plugs for the top roof brow panel. We like it. Need to find the right metal mesh to match the grill and bumper openings. Seems like the side plastics on the roof have shrunk and pulled rearward cracking the front attachment points. The AZ sun is brutal...

Looks like the PO cut out the vertical rungs, fiberglass backed the voids, skim coated, and sanded it fair. Then rattle canned it. Pretty good for an amateur.

Raptor Bed Liner This is the stuff we used. Test sprayed the back sides to get the technique and distances right. Lots of very careful prep work. The kit came from Amazon, came with the sprayer we used it at about 60 psi. It’s pretty much just a cheap undercoating Gun. Per the videos you can...

Freshening up the trim. The youngest boy wanted to do this. Raptor Bed Liner for everything. Custom grill was peeling pretty bad so we ground out the bad spots and re-faired it nice and smooth. Hood louvers were a Pita stupid design fixed with urethane windshield glue. Epoxied all the...

Oil pressure sending unit??? They leak sometimes when going bad. It’s on th back drivers side of the manifold area
