Over the years I have been extremely impressed at just how capable the H3 is offroad!



Problem; Whether a base or adventure package, the H3 is able to go a lot further than one might expect,however I have always noticed one main problem that always hangs them up and makes them need a tug or a winch. The rear suspension has 2 major design flaws; 1. The leaf springs pass under the axle which hinders ground clearance and causes the lower shock mount to come in contact with rocks, etc causing the H3 to get stuck on stupid things. 2. The front leaf spring mount hangs down so low that this is another point of contact that causes the H3 to get stuck!



Solution;Every H3 owner that offroads should seriously consider a rear spring over conversion at the minimum. I happened to find a complete how to so why not check it out! http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=759279



Consider it a free lift and it will eliminate any chance of getting stuck on the rear spring plate ever again and it will finally allow the rear suspension to be design the way it should have been!



Happy Modifying!!!
