Thanks!! Tip? With the lift you definitely need spotters, you can't see crap anywhere, it was bad before but even worst with the lift  Tight squeeze here, if not for Chad I would've definitely take off my review mirrors - I did make it through without a scratch though

Re: MY LIFTED H3!!!
Were you aired down at all? Can you get some pics of the clearance to the knuckles, etc. at different PSI's? Specs on the wheels?
Truck looks great BTW.

Or get it dirty as shiate and only wash one side real good and leave the other side alone.
Where in HI are you, I used to work for T&C Surf.

Re: MY LIFTED H3!!!
Looks great!
I was one of the first Rancho lifted H3's. The guys that did the install had some issues with it. A couple of things to check out is the the way the ride height is set up. Make sure they didn;t crank the T bars all the way up with the lift. I had the same rims you have but in all black and had issue with hitting the steering knuckle when aired down at the wrong angle. (17") It seems the ones I have seen with the 18" setup have been fine. I know that with the proper offest wheel and tire setup that H3 has great AP and DP angles. Also check out how far your bumpstops are form touching in the front. That's how I found out the Tbars were cranked all the way. There's nithing wuite like hitting the brakes hard on the highway and the front dips down a foot.
Good luck with it! It looks great BTW!
How does it ride for you at highway speeds?

The T bars are perfect, before the lift I had it jacked up like mad but with the lift it's fine. As for the steering knuckle and bump stops it seems to be fine as well.
My H3 is a daily driver and brought it on the freeway and got it up to 75 and to me it rides better than stock! It hugs the road better, maybe because the wider wheel base because of the wider rims and backspacing - not sure what it is but it does feel good on the freeway.

You still located in oahu? Born in Kaimuki, raised in Pearl City, and now living in Ewa Beach. I knew a few people who worked at T&C Surf - Stacey display designer and Marcey graphic designer - not sure where they are now.
That would look cool leaving one side dirty but I think the Hawaii Convention would have a cow if I tracked any dirt on their floors - LOL

No, I live in FL. I dealt wiht Graig and his wife and I mostly talked with Stacey and a few others when they would come to the main land for trade shows. They have a factory here in FL, I worked from there, as the Team Mgr for the East coast. I think that was the best job a person could have. Travel, surf, chill etc.. all paid by T&C.
