Hey guys, my 2006 H3 is getting very close to the 155,000 mile mark and components are starting to show and act their "age"... Got 3 issues as of right now... Brakes, shocks and leaf springs... priority #1 is definitely going to be replacing the brakes, gotta be able to stop when the snow hits... but after that I'm not sure if I should replace my shocks first (Gunna get Bilsteins because my Pro-Comps aren't doing so hot and are too short.), or should I hold off on the shocks and get new leafs... (Current leaf springs have little gaps starting in between the leaves, are starting to flatten a bit and have a little bit of rusting thanks to Michigan salt... I understand that the GM replacements aren't the best, OEM usually isn't, but at the mileage I'm at, I'd rather go the cheaper route, plus the nearest spring shop is North of Detroit, about 3.5-4 hours from me... Where can I get new leaf springs online? (I've looked but not sure how trustworthy some site are...) Don't dare go to a stealership and ask, probably say $1000 for em' which is a big he!! no in my book...:wink: And salvage yards around here don't have H3's and refuse to allow me on the property unless I'm buying a full vehicle... (Ridiculous I know...) Any help would be appreciated, can't afford to get rid of it and don't want to, even when the engine goes I just have it planned to swap in a beefer engine... soo I plan on keeping it for the long haul, unless an H3T comes along at a dirt cheap price, then maybe I'd think about selling it. :wink:
