Wow, it only has the i5 and its rocking 40s, I wonder how much stress is on the truck considering tires and now the lift. HA if it can last that Panzer and I can definitely run 37s

If that lift kit company could make a 6" lift that dropped the upper control arms and steering rack like that we would not need custom knuckles and there would be plenty of room to mount coilovers and a HP dana 44 front IFS diff with 5.38 gears...then throw on 40's and have some fun.

3rd coast does custom suspension kits. I bet if you asked them to make that but in a 6in version they would...

They dropped the steering rack on this? I wonder how steep that steering shaft angle is that connects the rack to the wheel

They dropped the upper control arms from what I can see in pics so if they are using stock knuckles they would have to drop the steering rack.

Bananatank called them and the 16" kit is $8,000. They said they only make a 16" lift for the h3 but I'm sure for a price they would make you whatever you would like

Yupe, my exact thoughts...I'm definitely going with 38's MTR's with kevlar...they are one of the lightest in this category, as well they measure to 37.7 or something like that....so should be fine...alone with some nike bead locks. This 35's can't wear down fast enough lol. XP[emoji30][emoji31][emoji33]


not to forget H3on 40's has ran 37's before without issues whatsoever...and is currently running 40's with no problem...and he's even planing on moving to the next size tire of MTR's which are 41 or 42.

It is definitely a torment the 35's are staring to seem a little bitty small with the Rancho lift kit...and they might look a tad smaller with the 1 inch body lift. I'm planing on installing sometime this month...if I get time.

37s look like 35s with no lift. Which look perfect. Just the right amount of fender space.

That fender space is what I'm liking right now with the set up I got going...before the lift the rub against the top part of the fender liner was out of control when wheeling. Right now no rub whatsoever. If I get the chance and 06 H3 allow me to mount his 37 on my H3 just to see how the engine behaves as well if the flexing would be compromise by some rubbing...then assets how bad the rubbing us and how the engine behaves take those two factors in consideration, focusing mainly in the engine perform part...if I feel confident that I can go 60 mph at average California highway settings (some hills nothing to steep, elevation) no problem then I am sure with a real custom tune things should be back to the feeling of running 35 with a 32 tune...or better. If not u can always go back lol...30 days to return scheiße in my books those are day to test thing to its limits...lol and if things can't be returned then just sell them for cheaper just enough to get a set of 35's

This is the 3rd time in 2 years the 3T is up for sale in Houston. Original asking price with 36k miles was 34k. Now they are asking more, with more miles? I love the look besides the rock star rims and red accents (I don't like red). I would black everything out, if it were me. Driving this rig with 40's and the 3.7L HAS to SUCK! But i'm sure it's strictly a weekend vehicle.

As for 3rd Coast. One of the best fab/ R&D shops in the industry.

Im sure they have good fab skills but their customers either have horrible taste or they recommend horrible things to their customers.

I can't speak for 3rd coast. I can only go by what I know of them and the work I've seen personally. They do SEMA builds and SEMA type builds for customers. Customers from Texas have deep oil and gas money, especially in Houston. It's all about the flash in that town. Go big or go home mentality with the high rollers. I would take that truck in a heart beat but it wouldn't look the way it does for long, if it were mine.

3rd coast may make quality stuff and to custom one off make a lift kit takes talent but off road SEMA builds are a joke 99% of the time, if you scroll through the pics you will see dana 30s with 44in tires, stacked wheel spacers, Yes, running a wheel spacer on a wheel spacer then a offset rim and light bar after light bar. Its all show no go.
