Hey guys - I am now getting Hummer H3 owners tracking down camber adjustment or re-alignment kits after a 2" lift. Nothing written in the shops for Hummer kits but I am told the fronts are the same as Rodeo. What would you suggest for a Rodeo - I have 2 x H3's here I can test on and then we know.

2" lift we just leave it, the angle isn't enough to worry about

3" you lower the diff 1"-1.5", by drilling out, or cutting and re-welding the factory diff drop brackets, or you can get them imported from america
you then bolt the ball joints onto the opposite side of the top control arm (the underside of it) and put some ball joint spacers between the control arm and the ball joint

this way everything fits in the guards, it is undetectable unless you unbolt the guards, just looks like a 2" lift

the whole point of flipping the ball joints is to allow the wheels to get into the right camber, there is enough slack for a 2" not enough for a 3"

Rodeo, Frontera and Jackaroo are all the same

They are built on the GM Mid size SUV platform

So highly likely the suspension is very closely related?
