Yes please!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one that's wants this.
For some reason I have become completely obsessed with wanting to do this lately.

Do you have any pics of modifying the front spring mount or did you just cut it off and weld on a new one

Flex testing...make sure your bump stops, shocks, brake lines, and ABS lines are all coordinated with each other. Having correct lengths on this stuff is critical...

Here's an early shot right after I did the SOA (still had Rancho shocks). You can see the huge gap between the spring and the bump-stop...so some extension towers were in order....

These were made with some 3x3 box tubing and some plate steel. Additionally, I chose aftermarket progressive bumpstops (on the table toward the rear)....

The new bumpstops required some 2" spacers blocks between them and the frame. The factory rear bumpstops were cut-off and used on the front axle...

I welded my lower shock mounts as low on the tubes as I could get them, trying to get as much travel as possible but not giving up any ground clearance...

Any way we can get a sticky of this of tread? With parts number list on the front page? I've seen a lot of forum members asking for a parts list and I think if we just had a sticky of it, it would make it extremely helpful.

Here's the axle stuff...

Here are front hangers (several to choose from). Your H3 has 2.5" wide springs....

Here's the brake line place (they don't list them, but they do make them)...

Here's a pic of the Colorado with stock hangers re-drilled and shaved...

If you plan to run JK shocks, you'll need some pin bars for the upper mounts...available from a number of places. I run Fox shocks and they supplied me with them.
If you plan to run a sway bar, you'll need some extended links....not a big deal.
You will also need to come up with some sort of extended bump-stops...not a big deal.
Depending on your pinion angle, you may also want to replace the tiny o-rings on the ABS sensors. If you rotate your housing to the point where the o-rings are submerged in the axle oil...the stock ones tend to leak. You can get some slightly fatter ones at NAPA.

That's pretty much it.

What exactly is an SOA build, and what is its purpose?

Sent from inside the cardboard box in the alley behind your house.

 

[954paulo]

It puts the rear leaf springs over the rear axle instead of below (stock way). Giving lift with the use of factory springs for the rear. Good ride to balance out a rancho front lift or custom.

I want to know this as well... I really really want to do this but if we can get a front lift going too. What other options are there besides the rancho?
I know Rocky Road outfitters here in UT offers the old man emu lift.

It looks like you can just buy the "front" set up. But I'm not sure on the quality/durability. I'm heading to their shop tomorrow to have them repair one of their sliders I have, so I will see what they have to say about the lift.

What other options are out there for doing a front only lift??

It seems like its just a replacement torsion bar + shocks thing, no more info shown about it!

 

[Airborne]

Ya that's what I saw. I am going to ask them tomorrow about what it exactly "does". If it offers a beefier torsion bar (ie alpha type) that might be worth looking at for some. I was looking to get a little more lift than that though.

I'm interested in finding out about their lift as well. Strength, durability, how much lift...

Sorry Paulo...I don't know whatsup with the photos. They appear fine on my PC....but not on my Iphone. I do know the H4O photo uploader is goofy these days....seems to double-load everything as both a separate attachment, and also in the body of the text. The "advanced" uploader has not worked for me in over a year...so I'm forced to use the basic uploader. I see several other posts with the same double-attachment issue.

Probably user-error...I'm dumber than a Miss America contestant when it comes to computers.

Guess that makes two of us then!
