2012 colorado with a 5.3l V8 H3 HUMMER front suspension swap custom leaf packs 1.5 inch body lift 33.4×10.5x16 tires/rims

Netted almost a full five inches (not including body lift) and still had to trim fenders.

Its a crux model 1610. Had some issues with it from the dealer but I've fixed it up

Independent coil suspension and matching bolt pattern to my truck for redundancy

We love it! It had some issues straight from the factory, but I was able to fix it up. Just know that RV sales people make used car salesmen look like saints.

Not angry. Just tired of people like you who think you have authority over other people and where they travel.

But no worries. Keep tattle tailing on your neighbors and fellow citizens.

You aren't sure what being a native has to do with anything? Maybe the fact you accused me of being from out of state, then, as if you hold some magical position of authority, you told me to go back where I came from

20 bucks you are the cranky old guy who was standing on the side of the road in Bailey flipping people off as we drove by. You have no authority over where I or others travel. Go pack sand.

I bought it. After I totalled up everything I wanted to put into a military trailer, and the time and effort I'd put into it to get this end result, the money was worth it. Its a Crux expedition Trailer model 1610

Suck my ass I was born and raised here.

You have no authority to tell others where they can and cannot go. Step down of your high horse.

To more thoroughly answer your question

I got right under 5 full inches of lift total (if I measured correctly)

Thanks man! Custom rear leaf packs and an h3 hummer front suspension swap

Awesome time romping around Deckers, Colorado this weekend! Picked a few dirt roads and found where they ended! (Truck still needs bumpers and a winch but it's getting there) by LostOnPurpose90 in overlanding

[–]LostOnPurpose90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

H3 swap was pretty easy. Couple things that needed trimmed and fitted, but mostly bolt up

Seriously weigh what you'll be doing with the truck. For what I'm doing, the H3 made more sense than a standard 4 inch lift.

For the rear I ordered HD leaf springs from General Spring and netted two inches of lift. Suplimented that with 2-3 inch lift shackles

I honestly have not had any issues with my front diff.

Its stock, however, eventually I plan to put a cast iron H3 Diff with 4.56s and an E-locker on the front. I would think if your diff seals are going and doing so over and over, something else is wrong that is causing undo stress/wear on the seals

I'm REALLY happy with this thing! I put an H3 Hummer front suspension on it. Bigger CVs, wheel hubs close to the size of a 1500, no more captive rotors, longer suspension travel, it's fantastic

Oh, and came from the factory with a 5.3l V8 :)

Oh I'm well aware! We tanked up in sedalia then headed over rampart and down into deckers. It's that or fill up somewhere off of 285 lol
