So I've been playing around with this idea in my head awhile since I came across a similar post some time back. It's a stupid idea that probably will not come to fruition, but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Someone had mentioned being in talks with Rancho to get a bulk order of lift kits for the H3, but there just wasn't enough demand for them at the time to reach the breakeven point. I can't seem to find the post, so I'm not sure where they landed as far as "for sure" buyers. I've noticed more and more posts about Rancho lifts and peoples' interest in looking for used sets, so it's given me slight confidence to post this. I am putting out feelers to see how many folks are actually interested and have the means to purchase a kit.
I will only be inquiring for the front end components since there is a decent availability of larger leaf springs (OME) and extended shackles like those from Schwarttzy. I would imagine this to be less of a burden to Rancho since they won't have to remanufacture and/or ship bulky leaf springs and lower their upfront costs. I'd also assume, because of the exclusion of leaf springs, they could meet the breakeven point at a lower order number. Now, I'm just some jackass talking about what ifs, so I could totally be missing the mark on what I'm saying. Regardless, I still would like to take a chance to see if it's possible.
If you have genuine interest for a new Rancho Lift Kit, let me know by responding to this thread. Please don't say you're interested if you're not willing and able to fork up the cash. I'd hate to reach out to Rancho about a bulk order, only to cancel it because people have backed out. Share this thread with other Hummer sites or owners you know so we can get as many prospective buyers in as possible. I have no problem purchasing an extra set or two to get us over the edge if it comes down to it, since it's pretty much guaranteed to sell after being online for 12 and a half seconds. I will probably reach out to them in the next couple of weeks depending on what the interest level actually is.
