Re: MY LIFTED H3!!!
I had to get spacers because the control arm was so close to my wheel you couldn't even fit your pinky finger between the wheel and the control arm!! It was about 1/16 away from the wheel. This is due to the backspacing of my wheels - should've got less backspacing...
Not only did the wheel spacer help distance the tire from the control arm but it gave my H3 a wider beefier look. Here's the before and after pics:
Before - no lift, 16 x 8 with 35's, tbars cranked like crazy!
After - lift, 17 x 10 with 35's, 1 1/4 spacer:
Had my friend over at Goodyear install my spacers and torque it for me. No more worrying about the COG (Center of Gravity) due to the lift, the wider wheel base hugs the roads now

That was one of the knocks on this lift from early on. So I'll ask again. What is the backspacing on your wheels?

I did find it strange that Rancho recommends 4.5" BS on 16", 17", 18" wheels. 5" BS on 20" & larger wheels. I have 17 x 10 and the 4.5 BS came too close that's why I added the spacers.

Thanks. That's what I figured.

Hey Sewie,
Another thing I found out yesterday wheeling with my H3 - freakin' engineering for those tie rods are horrible - I knew it was thin but it's also too #UCKING weak for a vehicle that supposed to be able to handle extreme off-roading!!
Remember the video of that H2 that was circulating the net? It was going over some small rocks and the front tires pidgeon toed into the center...well it happen to me yesterday!!
We yanked the tire to the right to pull the tie rod out, and was stuck on the side of the mountain for a few hours...
...a friend of mine took my rod to another one of my friends a few miles away and they welded back straight enough for me to drive it home.
Rod Hummer X Club Vegas Chapter President was with us and he said the H2's tie rod is no different, thin, thin thin!!

Re: MY LIFTED H3!!!
What is your new ground clearance with the lift? The before and after pics don't really show the difference. How did you like your MT/R's while you had them? They sure looked great!

As for ground clearance it didn't change, but once I add 37's it should clear about 2 more inches...but still thinking about it.

Re: MY LIFTED H3!!!
How many miles on the wheels? Too bad you live in Hawaii, cost a fortune to ship them to Oregon.
So did the lift give you more wheel articulation, or was it mainly for looks?
