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!

Thank you, I'm sure we all hummer owners appreciate your job uploading this videos.
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
Holy smokes. Those camera angles… Awesome work man! Glad to see another video.
Any problem if was 2 body lift?
Lol I just went out and looked at the body mounts on my 08 Alpha and it already has a body lift done! Can clearly see the added black hockey puck looking spacers between the body and bushing. Wow so I guess I don’t need to worry about the 35” tires rubbing at all? What size are the 37” tires you’re running. I have aftermarket 18” rims. Thanks previous owner haha!
Amazing video, definitely will do that in future!
Man you have got excellent tutorial vid skill!
Great job filming, editing, and explaining. Joy to watch, and I don’t even have and H3 yet.
Best installation video out there.
Great job on the video, appreciate all your hard work documenting this mod for us H3/H3T owners!!
Great video! Found out a lot of things about h3 that I didn’t even know
So this lift can be done in addition to the torsion bar lift?
Really good and informative video! Good job, man!
This video is actually AMAZING! Subscribed.
This video literally made the difference and now I know I can do it myself.
Do me a favor check this out and tell me if it's worth it. Google bomnim chevy dadeland. They have a 09 hummer h3 alpha/adventure for $31k it has 56kmiles. Blue book value i think is $20k… my $20k offer was denied lol
