There is an obvious difference in ground clearance.

Looking MUCH better, but the wheels are still too big IMO.
I don't prefer chrome on TRUCKS (except the grill), but it looks much better when the mirrors are left black and only the door handles are chrome.
I can see the increased the heigth, but I think the wheels an tires are creating an optical illusion for me.

Its Rancho's kit. 4" in the front and 3" rear. I agree, it looks better balanced.

Saw it listed on http://www.h2parts.com for 2495.00 Thats Lynch Hummers site. I would imagine the price will drop a bit once main stream parts places like 4wheelparts and a couple others start stocking them.

Damn I like it! Loose some of the chrome and smaller wheels/bigger tires and you have a winner in my book.

Why do people have to take one of the most capable stock 4x4's and make it into a lowrider. Kinda reminds me of the Suzuki Samurai days.
I am glad the H3 comes stock with 16" wheels(I miss 15") that look decent.
Is it just me or does all that chrome and the big wheels make it hard to visualize? It's kind of distracting to me. A blacked out H3 wit 16" wheels would really show off the lift.

Hummer Dude, It looks like you lifted the front by about 4 inches. The top of the tire is 1/2 way down the bumper and it lines up perfectly with the bend in the door panels, matching the back tire. It looks more balanced.
Where did you get the H3 logo with the circle around it? It matches your wheels.

Info that I found...
The off-road suspension experts at Rancho® are proud to introduce the industry's first suspension system for the Hummer H3. This world-class technology allows H3 owners to rival the off-road prowess of Rancho-equipped H2 models.
This evolutionary new package allows customers to upgrade to 37-inch tires *. Among the many exclusive features is a state-of-the-art Rancho/Realift™ torsion bar relocation technology, which eliminates the need to relocate the factory torsion bar cross member - doing away with the need to cut and weld.
Rancho® engineers also developed an ingenious two-piece cross member design that allows the installer to precisely relocate the differential - ensuring optimum suspension geometry and zero bump steer - without removing it from the vehicle. Our ultra-precise packaging of the cross member maintains maximum ground clearance; when combined with Rancho/Realift™ technology, this design substantially improves approach and departure angles. Also included with each kit is Rancho's Hummer-inspired skid plate armor to protect the front differential.
Installation of this system does not allow for re-use of OEM (factory) wheels.
* This kit was developed using a 325/60/R20 on 20x9" wheel with 5.0" of back-spacing. Use of the maximum tire size 37 x 12.50 will require some trimming of the front air dam/fascia & inner fender well for clearance. Rancho recommends using 4.5" of backspacing on 16", 17", and 18" wheels, 20" and above we recommend using 5.0" backspacing. Before installing any other wheel/tire combinations, consult your local tire & wheel specialist.
218 - The dealer installed "Under Body Protection Package" will not reinstall on vehicles equipped with a Rancho Susp System.
18 - The net raised height achieved with this system is dependent upon the adjustment of the torsion bars prior to installation. Example: If the Rancho System is listed as 3", but the torsion bars on a vehicle are adjusted to 1" over stock, the net raised height will be 2"
Shock Absorbers Sold Seperately.

Correct I am refering to the Rough Country 5" Lift not Tough Country who by the way dose build some pretty cool stuff. But as far as I know not a H3 lift. Rough Country has been around for years building quality suspention lifts. I should have caught that myself.

I would imagine that we have all heard of all of the probs w/ the Rancho Suspension.
It looks like Tough Country will be releasing their 5" lift soon and, it's supposed to be much better than the Rancho lift, it retains much of the factory specs and is a completely bolt on installation and, best of all it costs less! I'm glad I waited. At this point it looks like I'm leaning towards the purchase of the Tough Country lift w/ 35" tires and pos. an 18" wheel.
