Thanks man. I appreciate it. I like the KMC rockstars. But from what I've seen, everyone has them. I just found these Rebel Racing wheels in black.

is the thread to them. I'm going with the everything blacked out except the white paint and the white lettering on the DC tires. Should finish up pretty sweet. Plus these wheels are cheap as dirt. I can't justify buying 20s, just to scrap them up. And you can't as effectively air down 20s as you can the factory 16s.

nice...i was actually thinking of keeping my stock black hummer wheels and just getting a lift and tires. Save a little money you know.

I know the lifts they make aren't very cheap. But your get the whole kit for about $1,500. I think rough country makes a nice 4" lift that should clear 37s. I really thought about doing a lift myself. I probably would if I had the V8.

yeh, after talkin to the dealership they think since i have the I5 that i should go with a leveling kit and nothing bigger than 35's. Looks as if i can get the 35's toyo's for around 1100 bucks for 4 on tirepackage.com. dealership said that it would cost around $1000 dollars for the lift, the mounting of the new tires on my old rims, and installation of everything on my ride. This is where i wish i knew of someone i could trust to do the work. I'll probably pay the money and let the dealership do it since they are experience with working with this leveling kit and H3's.

Don't do the leveling kit. Just get the bilstein shocks and 1/2" bumpstops from Trail Duty. Crank your t-bars 2-3 turns and you are done. Have a tire shop install your tires, both of these should save you some money vs. doing everything through the dealership. The price on the tires seems like a good deal, just have to add installation cost.

****TTTTTT!!!!(hahahaha) Why are there so many different ways. This is screwing me over!

Ok...tell me exactly what i need. What all do i need to buy. And what exactly do i tell the dealership when they do the install. I know nothing about mechanics! I want the dealership to do it, just because it's an H3T and i want their service warranty.

Why are there lift kits, bump stops, leveling kits, lift torrision keys, leveling front shocks...etc? What do i need to buy from trailduty to have the dealer get my rig up high enough where i can put my Toyo 35's on. Sorry for sounding like a jerk but everytime i think i got what i need to get, i get another way to do. I do want to save money, but i also want the best option(well except for the $2000 lift kit) that i can get.

Thoughts? and thank you for the info, i starting to learn how much i should of paid attention when my uncle was working on cars!
