    You can prolly adjust your front arms a fair amount to help with the pinion angle.

    I just want to make note that adjusting the caster based on pinion angle will negatively affect the steering and handling.

    You can adjust it a little, I would be more concerned about adjusting the angles to keep the caster correct.

    Get it together and see what the angle looks like. I don't think you will have a problem but 8.5" is a lot of lift.

    Sorry I posted that at work and could not see the pics. I mean I'm a dumbass, but not that much of a dumb ass.

    Like freight on and tommy said, put it together and try to adjust the lower arm short, see where you are at. A cardan joint 1330 will take a lot of angle and should suffice, but a cardan joint on each end seems vibrolicious, I assume that is what you mean by double cardan.

    Like Travis said and you have read on the interweb it will effect caster, but I would think you could find a happy medium.

    I'm hoping so but I have been told it won't be enough from some xj guys. But y'all are right. Will just have to get it on and go from there. If only I could get some days off work now to get it going.

    Nothing new to mention about the mj right now. Have been hitting the books hard and will be graduating in about a week. In the mean time I have been looking to trade in my 2008 ford fusion as soon as I get a job for a H3T. What do yall think. I am not considering anything less than the V8 option. They are hard to find and have been looking for the past year.

    I think it is a good looking vehicle for a dd. Plus if I can get it with front and rear diff locks( which is fairly rare) it will be icing on the cake. Planis to throw some nice tires on it and rock it. looks like I can get one with about 50k for 28k. It will come with the 5.3 a trusted vortec....

    I would just go buy a chevy 1/2 ton 4x4, v-8. You should be able to get that new or 1 yr old below that price range.

    I laugh a little every time I see one of those somewhere. A regular Chevy pickup would be a much better option.

    I'm sure they are great vehicles, I'm just not into the whole "blowing guys in the bathroom stall" scene that goes with ownership.

    In all seriousness those things suck. They are on the same chassis as a colorado, so even though you have the bigger motor, you do not have the suspension or frame to handle anything bigger than a mini truck can. I owned a colorado and it was a massive pile of ****. The interior in H3s are still small and not very roomy, the mileage is terrible, and you still have to look like a Dbag in a mini version of a vehicle that was cool 2 generations ago.

    Like frick said, buy a half ton 4x4 chevy. They are bigger, will probably get better fuel mileage, look better, and you can handle towing more with it.

    Also, if you knew the last H3 driver that was in the club, you would seriously reconsider your opinion.
