Default 6" lifted cherokee on 35's vs. stock h3 clearance

well basically theres a long debate between me and a friend, he thinks a h3 is GOD, and don't get me wrong his h3 does rape trails better than my friends 3" lifted wrongler, but he says my 6" lifted cherokee on 35's is about the same total, and frame clearance as his. claiming that his diffs are the same clearance, even though i have bigger tires, and total its still the same. i disagree lol, mostly his roof height is due to its bus-like looks anyone know or checked their diff clearance, as well a total clearance with a 6" lift on 35's? (havnt picked my jeep up yet-tomorrow)

funny thing is he talks **** how he can conquer what a 6" lifted xj can, yet he bout punches his window out when he hears that "screeching from tree branches" down the side

also he's been stuck 6 times, and pulled out 6 times by a gc

oh i have no worries lol, his may have nice leather..well **** mine is leather too lol, i just cant justify taking a 25k h3 offroad bone stock. stock 33's and rear locker is the only upside to them, but they weigh like 1500lbs more than an xj

Hummers are crap, enough said.

Here's the way I looked at it. Both the Jeep and Hummer brands were based on American military vehicles (The *****'s Jeeps and HMMWVs). The Jeep brand was created in 1941, and it's still around! The Hummer brand was created in 1992 and is ALREADY defunct. What better way to argue for the Jeep!

the H3 is a nice ride. it is much more capable than H2s and weigh alot less and come with locking rear diffs sometimes. but they have an IFS and that sucks unless done right like the landrover lr3. plus it is super tiny inside. and for the price it in no way compares to an xj. nuff said.

I have to laugh at your buddy with the H3.

Just after I got finished paining my Cherokee with a 3" BDS lift I took her out to get a 30 pack of beer. Since there were no other Jeeps in the lot, I decided to park nose to nose with a Hummer, H2 I think.

My buddie and I had get pics, and I think I even posted them.

Even though my Cherokee was a few inches shorter than the Hummer, I still had over 3" more ground clearance.

It was pathetic.

You realize up until 1994 the majority of jeeps were sprung under correct? With the exception of Cherokees of course.


My older brothers friends wife drives one of those urban warriors, next to my Comanche that was about 5.5" on 33's it was about the same size, the Comanche was about half an inch taller. Next to my friends Cherokee that's 6.5" on 35's it looks like a wind up toy. To sum it up...your friends pissy he has the generic "American super truck" and it is less capable then an old Jeep.
