Roadmaster Active Suspension

[mjferencak]

Has anyone used or heard of anyone using roadmaster active suspension on the H3? I've tried searching the web for anyone using the kit for H3 applications but I came up empty handed. I think my H3 could benefit from these. The manufactures website doesn't list the H3 as applicable make but it does the Colorado. Not sure how different the two are in the rear, maybe someone can enlighten me.

Why do you think you need it? Curious as to what symptoms you are seeing or problem that you're trying to address.

I use my trailers on the regular now since I got rid of my truck and have noticed, with heavy loads, that the rear sags more than I'd like it to. Plus I'd like to decrease the amount of roll the truck has while in curves. I've replaced all shocks. Bilstein up front and Fox in the back to help the suspension.

I think the H3 rear leafs are just right for an unloaded H3 but with any continued loads or towing, they wear out quickly. I addressed the issue on my H3 by finding a good shop to re-arch the springs and added a full length leaf to the pack. It is a stiffer ride now, but the rear end is holding it's own now even when the truck is fully loaded. It was sagging before.

The net gain I got was close to 3". A bit more than half of that was sag, the rest was re-arching to higher than stock at my request.

Just install tow airbags. They can be deflated in normal use and u can level rear when towing.
