I was thinking.......

Are you merely looking for a firmer ride or is this in response to the winch / bumper you're also thinking about? What's the objective assuming you're ok with current ride height?

By the way, speaking of Rod Hall's H3... a little bird told me his Fox shocks are shipping next week (approx $1,000 not including install). I think I'll wait until someone else releases some performance coilovers.

The thought process started with additional weight, yes, the possibility of a full winch bumper on the front end of a vehicle that already has issues with the size and weight as it stands.

Additionally, with the torsion bars being turned, the possibility of failure from over use is greater.

So, adding a heavy duty set of torsion bars, would possibly extend the life of the torsion bars, with the added weight and use.

It's just a thought.....


I saw the shocks...
You can get a set of custom made Bilstiens for almost half that. What are they thinking?
What makes them think that the general H3 public would want a professional racing shock? I guess they don't plan on selling very many...that's fine.

Tell me more about the front end having issues please (other than the fragile front diff).

Aside from the front diff, and other axle components, I've gone through a front driveline and now three Rancho 9000's on the front. So, it still feels a little bouncy, (might be yet another blown shock) after I had the t-bars turned back down to 4 full turns. I'm thinking the t-bars might need to be replaced already.

I have been in Sewies truck and it feels totally different.

I've not been able to find any "symptoms" of t-bar failure online, but I have noticed that the Toyota peeps have the ability to upgrade their t-bars.

Again, I was just thinking.

well damn!

wouldn't a real offroad suspension lift solve a lot of things? (besides our weak front diffs)
I'm still waiting and hoping one will be available some day. If FJ's and JK's don't take over the world first.
