The H3 still has lift options available to this day actually. Under $1k too I'm sure. I haven't seen anything higher than 3" in recent years, but they're out there. Don't forget a Chevy Colorado/GMC canyon lift will work too. Same truck. But a 3 inch suspension with a 1 inch body lift should fit a 37" tire pretty comfortably. Back in the day 4" suspension and 1 inch body was prime for running those tire sizes, but I knew a few people running the 4" suspension with them without issue other than slightly catching the back of the front fender on really aggressive tires. There's not as many options as there once was. But there's definitely options out there for us Hummer boys

[@69sound81]

@@HappyWheelFan2013 actually, that is not insane at all. I would absolutely opt for a super long travel kit (colorado and canyon gain about 1.5" if they recieve the H3 suspension, so only options over 5" would be better than 3" lifts made for hummer directly). But just the coilover shocks alone with a slightly stiffer spring made for a 5" to 6" lift would probably work well in a hummer h3. Also, geometría would be messed up, so upper control arms could need some upgrade for that to work well and if those upper control arms get upgraded, lower control arms should too cuz they take the mayority of the beating. But again, there are long travel options for the colorado and the hummer has slightly more space for the coilover shock inside that upper control arm.

[@LittleDiesels]

s10 lift kit will not work on a hummer h3. if im wrong, drop a link for this colorado/hummer suspension kit. i would love to see one

[@Sabertooth_54]

Link? I cant find anything

[@tclg1]

Any Hummer related content is awesome

[@charlescorbee9498]

For my Jeep Comanche I had made a 2inch lift front and back! 1) front - on top of spring leafs we designed a 2 inch round spacer (PVC) and mounted them. Cost € 50,00 each. 2) Back: I went to a manufacturer of blad leafs. They dismantled the leafs and bow each leaf to reach 2inch (done cold) cost € 50,00 each. And put them back on. So for € 200,00 I had a 2inch lift all around. Maybe this could also work for the Hummer H3

[@69sound81]

Air lockers!!! It needs air lockers! And it looks sick! You could actually go nuts if th3 engine dies and put a 5.3 or a 6.0 v8 under the hood, go for 37s on aftermarket wheels and air lockers. Yeah, a lot of money, but you got the thing for 700 bucks, you can porñur some money knto kt and turn it into an Alpha edition killer with some of tjose mods. Imagine, a 6.0 making 360hp, air lockers (air hose for inflation and deflation), a set of aftermarket wheels and a nice camera system to always know what is in front, behind and on each side of the vehicle. That sounds like the best build ever for a truck like this

[@JCMcustoms]

I can’t believe I actually now like that truck!! Looks awesome with the tires and no steps!!!

[@InfamousAJ06]

I put american racing wheels in mine just the simple black drilled holes. 130 a piece. they look great simple, clean and work.

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

I agree about the wheels; those ones aren't too bad.

[@claybornlewis276]

Those freaking tires totally transformed the look of the truck it looks great Yeah by a wheel cover cover up the spare tire

[@terryvaughn677]

Add a 1" body lift $200 to give you even better look and room for tires.

[@TopLineRacer]

I've been considering it! Luckily these tires don't rub but if I go bigger I'll probably do the body lift.

[@tobycross4935]

Love the content, especialy when you raised the body a little more have both alpha and beta h3's and wasn't aware of that feature thx.

[@Jeepguy1985]

Been running thunderer's for about a year daily driver and off roader tire's still look new and perform great in mud

[@taylorbaldt8296]

Mix up a spray bottle of dawn dish soap and water to spray around the bead be4 you put the tire on it will fix your struggling issues with the motor! Keep the videos coming!

[@TopLineRacer]

Awesome tip! I may not have shown it clearly but I did soap them up prior to mounting on the wheels.

[@silenthillfarms]

Love the hummer videos, that's why I subbed

[@TopLineRacer]

Sweet, thanks for watching!

[@claybornlewis276]

Keep tire you got on there for the spare tire , and buy a wheel cover... and put the wheel cover on Tire... and then that'll be the end of your problem ... plus it's a lot cheaper.... and yes yours $800 Hummer is looking really good, I got six grand in mine . $800 is a lot better than 6000,,,, that's what I paid for mine and yours is just as good-looking as mine LOL

[@Smalls_Childress89]

Another Great Video 🤘 keep them coming!

[@TopLineRacer]

Thank you!

[@Jamie-es2ds]

HellZzzzz yea, love the variety of content with this h3, good work brother

[@TopLineRacer]

Appreciate it! Honestly starting to love the H3!

[@Dudesaidthat]

Man you got to find a way to keep that running board on it. I feel like it compliments the hummer look.

[@Mr-Bogs]

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a used, but fantastic condition Rancho lift for my H3. Haven't found the time to install it yet, but I'm excited

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

nice tires look good!! you should get a front diff drop kit from Badlands Industry fixes the cv angles.

[@TopLineRacer]

Considering it for sure. Visually they aren't at a terrible angle right now but we'll see what happens long term.

[@fredette1978]

Awesome looks a whole lot better great video thanks for sharing

[@wesw186]

Let’s go!! Loving the h3 content!

[@TopLineRacer]

Great to hear!

[@ScrapPileRepair]

I always line the yellow dots up with the valve stem to help with balancing. For what its worth. My mayflower balancer wont balance anything over a 31" tire, drives me crazy. Hummer looks way better now!

[@TopLineRacer]

Do you actually notice a difference with the balancing with lining up the dots? I have done a bunch of tires both ways and never noticed much of a difference. Yeah this is the first big set I've tried on there and it didn't work at all but I'm not surprised.

[@ScrapPileRepair]

On a good machine I would, not on ours. For home use though, I can't complain. I will chase weights forever on anything over 31". I bought a brand new 15" steel rim and tire for calibration. That helped alot. Your favorite company, Copart has a yard 2 miles from me. Illinois laws sucks. I can't buy anything without a clean title. Have to have a rebuilders and dealer license to buy any funny title ones. Guys from Chicago come in and hook 3 together and off they go, it's a sight to see. Lol.

[@longlivechina7538]

Ill be at Carlyle June 23/24 hope to meet you there

[@just_in_time5518]

Looks so much better!

[@KrippleKyle]

Agreed...never use dhl

[@nicot2436]

It’s Comn along Nice! 💪🏻

[@TopLineRacer]

Thank you!

[@trevorconklin2869]

Amazing what a set of large tires will do for a vehicle.

[@TopLineRacer]

Completely changes the look

[@merrittmcdowell8675]

Several places have 3" lifts for 500-$700

[@TopLineRacer]

Unfortunately those are just torsion key lifts and they'll cause broken axles, I could still do a small body lift though if I wanted to go up to even larger tire but I'm happy with what I have for now.

[@daltonseay4544]

Happy to hear y’all think the lean is stupid as well!

[@ilsoundop]

Link for the tires?

[@Oilopss]

How big are those tires and how much do they cost

[@robinfuller747]

Rattle can the hubs gun metal grey

[@SeboltLawnLandscape]

Take the doors off and you've got yourself a new bronco!

[@robinfuller747]

Light bars

[@kenmacinnis8361]

Wow. Those old tires were "slightly" bald. Looks good now.

[@TopLineRacer]

Haha yeah I can't figure out why it got stuck in the mud in the previous video 🤣

[@scottChapman25]

much better

[@longlivechina7538]

Hummer H2 run this summer

[@TopLineRacer]

I don't think we will be doing the Hummer run but I think we are going to join the Hummer club when they go to the AOAA off road park.c

[@curtishicks7813]

I have the same tires on my Avalanche. They literally do not wear down

[@TopLineRacer]

That's great to hear. Hoping to get some good life out of them!

[@curtishicks7813]

@TopLineRacer good enough to buy another set that i want to put on the 97 silverado ( tribute truck) just dont know what size cuz i want to add a 6 inch lift

[@brian7189]

Seek Jesus! He’s the way! The truth! And the life! Repent for the Kingdom is at hand!

[@johnnyreb280]

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

[@TOLDyouSOagain]

I would expect the inside of the truck tires to be worn more, not the outside

[@dancurrier6421]

take the tires and wheels of the old whistling diesel truck and put original stuff back on

[@somphothbsiratsamy3748]

You need to be careful with tires. They have to be symmetrical. Otherwise they’re gonna fuck your damn axles in your tire rods up. And they become warp from sitting in the wharehouse throughout the years in the heat

[@mikeythomas8496]

Get a lift for a tahoe and it'll work just fine

[@TopLineRacer]

Unfortunately these are completely different than a Tahoe.

[@jake47]

First one yay

[@Jamie-es2ds]

U were second

[@mikeferretti7422]

So don't buy one and turn it into an offroad truck?

[@m998hmmwv7]

$700.? You bought this from your father or something? 😂

[@TopLineRacer]

Haha no, originally bought it with no title and had a bad transmission. Luckily the owner found the title later so it worked out.

[@bobloblaw7025]

So.. being as you taped off a car once upon a time, i problydont needto do mine either? hahaha being im a huge fan and all lol

[@TopLineRacer]

Oh yeah you're good, let me know how the paint comes out 🤣🤣🤣

[@menarenotwomen]

You can absolutely NOT run 37s with no rubbing regardless of if you crank the torsion bar keys or not. That’s comical that anyone would say that. I own an H3, and you just simply can’t run a 37 without a lift or significant rubbing
