Body lift?

[woodwardsh3]

Does anybody sell a short body lift, 3/8" or 1/2" ?

you could find someone to turn them down on a lath.

I'll happily make the pucks for anyone interested in doing this. NO, I'm not making 100 of them.

I would like some 1 1/2

Just did the day star last weekend. Went smooth for a So Cal truck, bolts came right out. Gap is not even noticeable to anyone but you. I would stay at 1" and keep the sway of truck to a minimum. I have 325/65-20s with t-bar cranked to what was 23.6". Ride is still good but can tell the difference. I trimmed bottom of front wheel well on the rear of it by about 2" and still rub at full turn, but I have 20x12 wheels so they are a little wider than most. Try the 1" and if you need more than go from there. If you need an extra hand PM, I live pretty close to you.

Would you mind posting a few more pics of your h3 after the body lift install? Thanks

I have pics I can post from mine. To fix the gap on the rock rails, I just went boulder crawling and slammed them a few times in Last Chance Canyon.

Thank you the quick response. I have been debating on what will and tire package I am going to upgrade to. Leaning more towards 22x12s Your rig looks great especially with the 20x12s. Do you have any major rubbing? Thanks again

Can't turn all the way but I am within an inch of full turn. Only rubs when I park and need to really crank the wheel. I have a 4.75" offset on fuel 20x12s with 325/65r20 duratracs. Americas tire would not mount smaller (35/12.5/20), but I am glad I went larger and will get the rancho with 37/13.5/20s when these wear out. Having the 5.3L motor, I almost don't notice the larger tires slowing me down. Air doc and k&n should bring me back to normal.

I did trim body though for rub. See first pic of three that you quoted an hour ago.

Here is a link to my photos from my lift: :link:

I typically never shy away from an LCC run. Maybe we will have to run it again!

Count me in if the dates work!

Would it be better to do the body lift and 1" wheel spacer??

Do the body lift regardless, really happy with it. How did the hood turn out?

Just bonded the cut plastic Hood vent back on today. This is temporary, if it works good I will get the $350 stainless black powder coated unit that rivets on. So far temps stay around 205 and trans 175-180

Good to know! I have been looking at this mod and trans cooler while I save for UCP. When you say bonded, does that mean the clips broke getting the vent off? I stopped prying today as I didn't want to get pissed off by breaking them.

If you pinch them on the backside of hood it helps. They had a recall on the vents as they where flying off. The fix was black bonding adhesive. Mine only had 4 clips left on it total. I used tuff stuff gassed/binding adhesive.

Wow mine came off easily

I'm really thinking of the hockey puck body lift. It would cost me about 45.00 instead of 250. All I need are the pucks and grade 5-8 bolts. Or some 1x1 heavy steel cut into 3" sections and capped off

The bolts are what make it expensive. Also, goop the hack out of the bolts with thread lock.

 

[H3HummerLineX]

I'm sure MCmasterCARR has them

Anyone know the bolt dimms? Or don't need to pull a couple bolts to measure.

Daystar uses a higher grade bolt too (stronger than stock) for the body lift.

 

[H3HummerLineX]

I will use a grade 8!

From daystar h3 body lift manual:

12 pcs M14-20x160 10.9

When I did the body lift I recalled the oem where 9.8 (i have a bolt o believe somewhere i could check later)
