Why you wanna lift it? Goin' muddin'? I hate the way lifted vehicles handle on road, and offroad. Put on good skid protection and drag it over stuff! I know driving over big stuff is a blast but suckin' up seat material side hilling sucks bad! I know people want to get really serious with their H3s but really, look at the success of the H1. How much flex do they have? How valuable is it to be as hard to turn over as a sewer cover sitting in the street? How valuable is it to drive well on the road? Flex is good in a trail rig, particularly one with a roll cage in it! I've seen lots and lots of lifted rigs rolling over, not many stock ones. They sure look cool though! I think that if an H3 is going to go gonzo offroad it's going to have to take big one ton axles with ARBs, 37-44" tires, and a V8 to drive it all and then the rest would have to be beefed up to take it. 33" tires USED to be considered awesome. No longer. Heck, pretty soon we'll be seeing 60" tires on Rockwell axles! Egads!
