How To Install A 1.25" Body Lift On A Hummer H3

- Hey what’s going on guys! In this video I will you how to install a Body Lift On A Hummer H3. In this video we cover:
1.) What a body lift is
2.) Differences a body lift and suspension lift
3.) Identifying a single body mount point
4.) Installing the body lift on the I5 H3 & Alpha
5.) Before and After Photos
6.) Running Larger Tires
Please read! I do want to clarify one small thing that was in the original directions that I did not mention in the video. In the video when I said to only loosen and unbolt one side of the body mount bolts at a time which is true; however, the original directions say to slightly loosen the other side that you are not lifting up with the jack. That does not mean remove them, that means slightly loosen them. However, doing this does make it possible for body to become slightly misaligned which could lead to issues putting the bolts back in which I did not mention it. However by not loosening them, you could hypothetically be putting unnecessary stress on body. When I installed the body lift on the H3 video featured in the video and my own H3 I did not loosen the other side and nothing was negativity affected. Just wanted to be transparent about this. It is your call if you want to slightly loosen the other side. Let me know if you guys have any questions about this!

What are the common issues with the H3 3.5 from 2009 ? I want to buy one..what do i have to look for?
How do u do the angry eyes
Just put the body lift on today. I did not loosen the the bolts and there was no issues. Kept my body straight on the frame. Thanks for the video. It saved me time and money!
@@tubeabq did you notice a difference in ride height? Another words is it worth it and feel Higher
@@heatwave5766 Yes my woman noticed a difference. She's sitting on 35s wrapped on 12 inch wide 20s. Maybe 14 inch wide. She had some rubbing issues at full turn while in reverse. Now she has no rubbing issues
Thank you, I'm sure we all hummer owners appreciate your job uploading this videos.
Thank you! Yeah unfortunately there is not a lot of videos out there on the H3 and most information can only be learn through browsing forums. I want to try to make it easier for new H3 owners to build up their rigs!
Great job filming, editing, and explaining. Joy to watch, and I don’t even have and H3 yet.
Thanks for watching!
Same here and knowledgeable no uhhh mmm and aaahhhh straight thru explanation
Absolutely I agree great job
First time I watched this video, I didn’t even own an H3. Now I’ve got an 08 and an 09H3T. Love your videos and love these vehicles. Cheers!
I really appreciate the quality and detail in your videos! It’s rare to see a channel with low subs have this quality of videos! I really hope your channel grows because you deserve it man! Very informative videos! Keep it up man!
I’m 100% with that whole statement. I’ve been subbed for a little bit and I’m retiring my 4R with an H3 hopefully this week 🤞🏽
I don't often comment on vids but i had to drop a message on this one. GREAT job at not only documenting the process but also breaking it down. The time and attention to detail is exemplary. The color coded component breakdown is very well done and extremely helpful. Wish more videos were edited in this way. Again, GREAT WORK!
Hands Down, THE BEST How To Video I've watched.
Holy smokes. Those camera angles... Awesome work man! Glad to see another video.
Thank you! I have been playing with around with a 360 camera and it is allowing me to get a bunch of shots that would be impossible with any other camera!
Definitely as an h3 owner I really appreciate these videos I realize that you put an incredible amount of time and effort into them you definitely have the best h3 vids out there
Thanks!
This is one of the best edited, and well explained DIY video i've seen. Makes me almost confident enough to attempt it on my Colorado.
Everything about your videos is superb. keep putting them out. From explanations to the demonstrations to the editing is perfect. I have recently purchased an H3 I5 and have scoured youtube for how to videos and yours are by far the best. Would like to see more on regular maintenance and DIY mods internal and external. Once again GREAT JOB and keep it up.
Thank you for the how to and before and after. Your details will help me when I do mine. 2008 H3 I bought two months ago and absolutely love. Thanks Again!
Thanks for watching!
This is a comment about all your videos, not only about this one. Thanks for all the details and the accurate information you bring to all your videos, with very detailed explanations. I appreciate all the effort you bring in filming and editing this videos to be very clear to all of us…….thanks again, I appreciate all the effort.
Love the video. I watched it while installing mine tonight. The front bolt on each side was the biggest headache getting the old bolt out of the bushing. Used the blue tipped wrench to get the bolts loose from the sleeve
I can’t believe how good this video was man! Serious you are such a great instructor and your visuals were next level however you edited this video.
Excellent video, thanks. I like the details and effort you have in your content. No gimmicks, no baiting, just good information and detail. Again thanks.
Another fantastic video with so many important details covered. You are a true hero for the H3 community! Thank you!
Very impressed with your detail and illustrations in this vid. Can't imagine how good your progression will be in time!
Thank you! I have many more ideas in mind! If I could I would love to do videos on a weekly basis, but they just take so much time to complete!
'@@4lowmode got the 1.25" body lift on. You have any knowledge on Skyjacker Blackmax shocks? they show 0-2" rear and 0-3inch front lift on our H3
You really know how to make an excellent instructional vid. The color highlight graphics were very good. Thanks.
Brilliant video. So thorough and so well made. Love the point that the spare also gets clearance. Seems like the pucks will make the body really OK.
Absolutely one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen on TH-cam. Astoundingly professional in every way. Thank you for the time, thought and energy you put into this. Now I have the confidence to install this on my H3T with 35's
Glad you found it useful! Haha all the work is in the editing. Only took a couple hours to install the kit even with me filming it. But to get everything how I wanted it to look and present it took me the longest.
He even tells ya the socket sizes......tools to use. Fucking eh ! Very detailed.
Great video. Very well produced. Your attention to detail is outstanding.
Keep up the great work. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you for watching! I have more videos in the works!
I really like your videos. I learn those little things that were mysteries to me. A radiator and electric fan upgrade would be a nice project for your followers living in the Southwest.
Your video skills are amazing. Great graphics, animation! Great articulation and thorough explanation. Thank You again.
Great job on the video, appreciate all your hard work documenting this mod for us H3/H3T owners!!
Yep! Right now we don't have many options for Lifts in the H3 Community, so I thought it would be really important to cover the 1.25" Body lift which is easy and affordable. When I first got into H3s I understood what the Rancho Lift was, but wasn't really sure what a Body Lift was and if it could help. I really want to try to demystify the concept of it and make H3 owners confident enough to do it themselves.
@@4lowmode I think you did a great job of that, makes me want to do a body lift on my H3T Alpha!
Awesome videos bro. Glad someone out there is still making these type vids. Very informative and helpful 🤙🏼✌🏼🇺🇸
Thanks more to come!
G day mate. Followed your Video. Went smoothly. Thanks for the great Video. Keep it up. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you 🙏
Great video. I’m satisfied with my H3 being stock, but still enjoy how- to videos.👍
Thanks! That's what I thought at first, but later down the line I started buying everything I could 😂
What a great production ! Camera work & editing just great it was nice to watch and I learned a lot . Keep up the great work .
Man you're the best, I've installed something in my h3 for every video you upload. All thanks to you.
Man you have got excellent tutorial vid skill!
Thank you!
What a great production! Your narration, camera work and editing - all just great. It was fun to watch and learn. All the best!
Thank you! Yeah these videos do take a good amount of time to make!
I love your videos because you point out things I would never thought of like the fan shroud. Well actually, I really do like your animations before you actually do the installs also👍. Great job Sir🍺
Excellent and detailed video. Don't worry about long videos if they are precise. Thanks
excellent video. great step by step explanation. I'm gonna do this to my 2009 I5 H3 ( Hunny Buns) next year.
Great job on the vid.
I used to be heavily against body lifts because they don't actually raise the bottom of the truck. However after doing a couple of lifts on different 4x4s I am finding that a suspension lift can eat up travel on many applications. So when thumbing down a body lift some people may want to consider what a suspension lift will do to their down travel.
This video is actually AMAZING! Subscribed.
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it useful!
Great video! Found out a lot of things about h3 that I didn’t even know
Glad it was helpful!
Great details, camera angles, voice over, animations... Holy crap I don't even own an H3 but your video was so well done that I watched it anyway LOL. Great looking H3 you have there.
That's awesome! Even if have another type of truck, the concept will be somewhat similar!
Wow I was watching this video and realized I commented on it 2 yrs ago before I bought my h3. I’ve had mine now for 55k miles over past 2 years and love it. Your videos have been a real gem. I’ve done lift keys front, lift shackles rear, big roof rack, Gobi ladder, and 33’s. Now I just ordered a diff drop kit so I can adjust my keys beyond the 23.5” range. Super stoked for that, new product. I’ll likely do the body lift as well before I change out to the 35’s. Only complaint I’ve had so far is the underpowered 3.7 and the 4l60e trans is less than desired. All and all these are awesome trucks. Thanks again for all the awesome work you do putting these videos out for the community!
Excellent video. So Michi details. Thank you for putting the time into it.
Doing a final road-test on a 2007 H3 base and a 2008 H3 luxury tomorrow. My first H3! Amazing production on this video. Subbed!
Thanks! Hope you like it!
I’m buying a 07 H3 and your videos make me super excited
Thanks awesome! Glad you enjoy them!
The video is awesome , I wish all TH-cam videos contain this much details , I will check your other videos thanks
This may be the best instructional video in existence ..nice job
What an excellent, thorough and complete video. Thanks!
YOU DO THE BEST JOB IN YOUR VIDEO'S OUTSTANDING .KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ,
Yes! Very great video, wish I could learn like this with every subject I am interested in. This is the first comment I ever make on TH-cam, you earned it man! Excellent job!
Thank you so much! Glad you found it useful!
Great video! Your voiceover and editing are amazing. Enjoyed watching the entire video alot! I have a black I5 so this is great to see what it would look like.
Can you make a video about whether or not to put 35's on the stock hummer and how it would effect it, such as gas mileage and the old transmission.
Should you get a leveling kit or adjust the torsion bars to get rid of the nose dive.
This video literally made the difference and now I know I can do it myself.
Thanks! Its really not that hard when you get the concept! The first time you do stuff like this it can be intimidating if you just have written instructions that aren't that detailed! I am glad this video helped!
Hello from the UK. Love the video and especially the graphics, nicely done.
I'm so glad I found this channel! Keep up the great work man
Thanks! I have more videos that I am working on!
Wow, amazing video!!!! Thank you so much for your series on H3!
These videos are great! Thank you! Much appreciated
Thank you for doing a great video. Will be doing a video of me doing this on my H3t alpha very soon. To go along with other videos I have uploaded
Please do, we need more H3 how to videos. There are so few on here, it's hard to find the ones ya might need when you encounter a problem. Good luck with your lift.
Great way to explain this process, very professional presentation, Thanks
great job on showing all your steps. I do like your snorkel kit especally the cap. Do you have the part numbers?
Bro I love u man!!! Wow I can't fix cars for nothing but I can definitely follow these instructions is it possible for u to teach us how to replace the front bumper and grill in the front of the i5
These are awesome videos. Great job providing guidance and information to H3 owners. Have you done any research on various tire options / sizes and how it impact performance? I find all sorts of conflicting information on the internet on what size tires will fit on my stock H3 without modifications and what needs spacers etc. so I would welcome your thoughts. Additionally I would like to run larger tires but I find my H3 is already under-powered for towing and am concerned that the reduced torque with larger tires will make the issue even more noticeable.
Your videos are awesome!!!! Give us exactly what we need to know !!!!!thank you !!!!
Glad you like them!
Great video mate. Very helpful for us . The h3 is fire . So for 35s on stock h3 I'm only need a bodylift?
Dude you almost made me to go buy a H3 tomorrow
Haha you should! If you get one, make sure it has an adventure package because you get more offroad goodies! I have a video on my channel on it!
Did you get one yet...?
Did you do it?!
This video has been out for a while, so I'm late to the game. Nice video as usual!
U r even better than Chrisfixx.. Amazing video! So clear and real.. Plz do other car brands lifts as well! Thanks
Great video, perfect explanation, greetings from the Netherlands
One of the best diy videos out there really really good I formation and the editing is the best
Thank you! Haha more time went into this then I care to admit!
Really good and informative video! Good job, man!
Thanks!
Bro I’m sooo gonna do this on my wife’s h3 i5, I bought her a set of 22x12 with a-24 offset on 37” tires 🛞 but the rub so hopefully this will help me .thanks for the video
Amazing job on the video. And the hummer looks great.
Amazing video, definitely will do that in future!
Go for it!
good work boys.. great editing... can this be done to the hummer H2 also.?
Very professional video, thinking about doing this to my H3
What I can say only is PERFECT
Excellent video, what is your opinion in messing with the torsion bar ? Thanks
Great video!! So detailed !! Thanks buddy!
DO you have to adjust the gas tank or steering column on the 1.25 body lift. Thank you. Your video is awesome. I like that it is long and will use the whole video in the future. My Hummer is the inline 5, 2007.
This is the best h3 content I’ve ever seen
Thank you!
Great video! Worth the 30 min! You did a great job on the video...
Thanks!
Dude! Amazing info. You explain every thing in detail. Great job.
Hello, let me say, great video. Probably one of the best informational - how to videos on TH-cam. And, especially on the H3. I'm glad I found you 😉. There is definitely a lack of h3 how to videos..
I subscribed. Ya made it look easy, but I know those bolts and nuts need some persuasion. The H3 in the video looks amazing , I really should take mine to the next level....get it....
Any frame issues on the ones ya worked on ~ I see some cracking on my upper passenger shackle and frame area..? i do live in a rust belt area....
I've had my h3 for 12years and it's been good except for the intermittent engine rough idle and rough around 1500-2000rpm. And brakes lots of replacements. It's really comfortable and feels pretty solid on the road. Honestly, I don't off-road it - some trail stuff. There is no suspension flex. They really should have come out with an updated model with coils. I've a tj w/4" & 35's..the flex on that is nice, H3 - not so nice. But the H3 is way more solid driving.
Anyways, great video, thanks for taking the time , people will watch this in years to come. Roll safe
Thank you so much! In terms of frame issues, I haven't heard of that many instances of people having problems with their frame cracking, breaking, bending, etc. I myself have worked on 4 different H3s and none of them exhibited serious structural frame damage. Of course like all other vehicles, the frame can get some rust on it if you live in the rust belt, but I haven't come across anything concerning yet.
Thank you you did an excellent job on the video and I like how you Going to details
Great job your very detailed with the information.
Thank you for these great tutorials! keep it up mate!
I will! I have many more ideas for videos!
@@4lowmode I am very excited :)
Yeah ....you are great thanks for your details and time on this👍
Thanks! I appreciate it! 😃
Very informative and detailed video enjoyed watching have a question for my h3 if I put 2 inch body lift does the steering shaft need to be extended
Yes there might be other things you need to do such as extending the steering shaft to make this work. The company that made this 1.25in kit determined that 1.25 inches is about as high as you can go without having to do extra work. That being said, you can definitely do it. I am not sure everything you need to do, but go ahead and reach out to a guy named "H3duramax" on Instagram or TH-cam. He installed a custom 3in body lift on his H3 in order to fit a duramax engine into his H3. Hope this helps!
Great very well detailed video 👍 Thanks
Thank you this was very helpful 👍🏼
Terrific tutorial. Very detailed. Great job!
Thanks!
This are quality,well explain videos👌👍
Nice video bro, I got the same lift on my 07 3.7..
You need to start a class on how to do videos. You are very professional and very to the point. In the military, you would get an outstanding grade. Keep it up. By the way, the length didn't bother me because you made it worthwhile.
Thank you so much! A lot of time does go into the editing process! I do make make multiple revisions to the editing and really ask myself what footage is needed and what can be skipped over. That is partially why these videos take so long to make. Currently working a new video that is close to being finished. So far there has been 8 filming days and a couple of editing weekends. Working hard to get it out!
killer videos bro compre af Tiptop!
Excellent video, good job.
Got the same lift kit on mine and the same(?) roof rack (which always gets the compliments, go figure) 😊
Excellent video 👍
Very well done and very informative.
I like your way and explanation, need to show how to clean transmission with pest flashing liquid
Excellent video
Bro can you some quick snorkel installation, i am about to add one but i need to know how that works and how do you do with the rain
@4 low Mode I wish you made these videos for a H2 :( all you vids are very well done and helpful 👍
Thanks! If I had an H2, I would lol.
Hi! Great job! Where did you buy the snorkel and the lateral antenna? Thanks
