Ok, so I just wrote a nice long response and when I hit post it timed out damn it

In short: Take the same vehicle lift one, leave the other as is. The lifted vehicle will roll before the one that is not. Maybe you can still hit an intense side slope with the lifted truck but I doubt that it's higher center would match that of the one left stock.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>On the same note, a lifted H2 will have more clearance than a non-lifted one.

That is obvious. However, a lifted H2 can still do the 40 degrees which is what GM recommends as the maximum for the non lifted H2.

The higher clearance coupled with the bigger tires gives you WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more benefits. Better approach, departure, more tire for traction on the rocks, better clearance, etc...

The slightly higher center of gravity is a minor issue.
