How To Install A 1.25" Body Lift On A Hummer H3
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
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!

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!
Holy smokes. Those camera angles... Awesome work man! Glad to see another video.

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.
You really know how to make an excellent instructional vid. The color highlight graphics were very good. Thanks.
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!

What a great production ! Camera work & editing just great it was nice to watch and I learned a lot . Keep up the great work .
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.
Very impressed with your detail and illustrations in this vid. Can't imagine how good your progression will be in time!

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.

Hello from the UK. Love the video and especially the graphics, nicely done.
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 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 video. So Michi details. Thank you for putting the time into it.
The video is awesome , I wish all KZread videos contain this much details , I will check your other videos thanks
excellent video. great step by step explanation. I'm gonna do this to my 2009 I5 H3 ( Hunny Buns) next year.

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!
Very professional video, thinking about doing this to my H3
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.

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.
This video has been out for a while, so I'm late to the game. Nice video as usual!
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.
Very well done and very informative.
Excellent video, good job.
Great video with attention to detail!

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!
