I would really like to know if it would be an easy install!

Did you happen to read the instructions on their site?

i installed the truxxx kit on my 07 h3 about 3 weeks ago. very easy to install per the instructions. set the ride hight to there specs, witch raised front 2.75 inches. did NOT change ride quality. had front end aligned to there specs, looks much better, only proublem im having is popping and squicking over bumps and when backing up. ive called there tech dept. about the issue, they told me to check and make sure the new index keys are sitting square to the cross member. i did and they look fine. i will keep looking in spare time. is anyone else having this issue with the truxxx kit? if so how did you fix? thanks.

I really like the American Racing rims you have on your rig...I was wondering, though, if the Truxxx kit is compatible with the stock rims?

Yes, the "kit" is just re-indexed t-bar keys and shock-extension brackets.

That noise will stop in about a month when the keys get settled back in. You can even spray some lube in the keys and it will make the settling in process faster. I installed the Truxxx kit months ago and in fact was probably the first one to try it and placed some postings on it. Todate no problems and no front end settling.

One of you guys that installed them measure the distance between the yellow rubber baby buggy bumper thingy and let us know how much clearance is in there. I was under mine a while today and have about 1/2 inch. Then if we could get a stock measurement it would be interesting to compare.
What Im wondering is how all this works. If we had a shorter bumper would it allow more travel or at that point would the shock top out?

OK I will answer that. I went to the dealer where there was a row of 07's. The five I looked at the rubber bump stop was just touching the aarm...... make your own assesment but mine being slightly higher allows a little nose dive when you panic stop. So raising the torsions raises this gap. I just wondered which way it affected it and now we know.

Exactly. It will stop after a month or so, depending on how much you drive. Mine just quit this week. The parts manager at my dealership gave me a heads up on lubing the keys before I installed mine, so that helped. It will quit after the keys settle in the saddle.

thanks guys, where are you spraying lube on truxxx keys? and what kind of lube? wd40 or what? thanks again. i have about 2000 miles and still popping very noticable when backing up and breaking

I sprayed white lithium grease but you can use anything that will get into the keys. Don't worry, it will stop. If it don't - pack it with a holiday fruit cake.
