Now, Im trying to level up my 09 H3 lux.

I want to buy Trail Duty H3 front leveling kit(-----includes Trail Duty 1.5inch Bump Stops and Bilstein front shocks.) to install 35inch tires

welcome! you have come to a great site. An LS3 is a good goal. lol normally when most people do leveling its about 23.5 inches from hub to fender. some go up or down a little more or less but dont go up 24inches though. at that height it will create extra stress on the Front end components. You plan to go 4 wheeling?

Welcome to H4O! Front leveling kit - just buy the 1/2" bump stops, you don't want/need the larger ones. Your 35s will fit on their fine with little or no modification. Most people level the truck around 23.25"-23.5" from center of hub to bottom of fender.

Welcome. When are you planning this heart surgery and who's doing the work?

Also where are you in florida? There may be some local hummer guys around you.

 

[davidh3]

yes.

If I want the front and back to have the exactly same heights, I just level up 23.5 inches from hub to fender?

Welcome from Boca Raton! :cheers:! and yes you want to measure from the center of the hub to the fender. Let me know if you need help with your h3 and keep your eyes posted on the south section for when we get an off roading trip going!

 

[06 H3]

yes.

Yea, get the H3 on level ground and measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom lip of the fender and crank it till you get to about 23.5 inches. You crank the bolts about halfway down the H3 I think the size socket you need is 1 1/16 in.

David,

Welcome to H4O. I have mine at 23.25" and it works very well.

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

yes.

It won't be the exact same height but it will be better then stock. IIRC its around 24.5 in the rear hub to fender. Mine is currently at 23.5-23.75 and while its not "level" it sure beats the extreme drive angles you get with 24"+.

Welcome to the Forum from Central Florida. If you ever want to put that bitch in the dirt and rocks let me know! We have a few good spots near me that are fun to wheel.
