New H2 owner!
New to the forum wanted to say hello and put up my first post. I recently traded in my 2008 escalade ext for a low mile, clean, one owner 05 sut in victory red. Just got magna charger from autoanything.com and getting it installed tomorrow. Looking to get it lifted next month. Torn between a 12 inch bullet proof lift on 24inch 40 tires or a 6 inch rancho kit on 22inch wheels and 38 tires. Any thoughts?

Re: New H2 owner!
although it would be sick to see a bulletproof! But either one is good. Can't wait to see this one take shape.

Re: New H2 owner!
Don't go too high if you still plan on driving it. 6" is plenty with 38's....with a 12" lift, you would be able to go bigger than 40's, but whats the point. With that lift, you couldn't take it offroad and you couldn't use it daily. So just a show car. Would be a shame not to use it as it was intented.

Re: New H2 owner!
He does have a point there..if you want to make it a show truck. Boom! Get the bulletproof, but for functionality, the six with 38s is plenty big.

Re: New H2 owner!
zdawg,
Here's a picture I took on delivery, first tank of gas. I'll post pictures of the SC next week. I'll prob throw them on instagram or fb it's easier. I have another vehicle for long commutes and the gf but pushing a 12 inch daily h2 would be something. I have a 5 mile commute to work no big deal. I like the idea of a 6 inch lift and still being able to throw it on a rock but 40s and a massive lift would kill it. Most likely will build a nasty jeep or an h3 for a crawler if I decide to go that route.

Re: New H2 owner!
Welcome! I think height is also dictated by where it is going to be parked. I'm in some parking garages where stock is the maximum, but I try to look on the practical side of things.
Enjoy your new ride.

Re: New H2 owner!
Welcome to the H2 community! I love my SUT and have kept it close to stock, no complaints and by far the best vehicle I have ever owned!

Re: New H2 owner!
Very nice! Congratulations! I'm on my third H2 and it's also the best SUV I've ever owned. My last H2 had the 6 inch lift and it was great at job sites and in the mud, but a pain in the *ss parking at the airport or downtown garages. I'm thinking of getting another and parking it because low mileage H2 SUTs are getting harder to find every day.

Re: New H2 owner!
Nice, looks like you got a very clean one! Who is doing the Magna Charger work? That's a great price for it on Autoanything with the 15% new customer discount

There is still a lot of low mileage 08-09's out there, but the pricing is....
A&L Imports just sold an '09 Silver SUT with 7,221 miles for $85k, and currently has a red 09 SUT with 16k miles for $82k

I agree with some others on here...it really depends on how you're going to use your truck: daily driver, off-roader, toy-hauler, show truck, street queen...or a combination of these.
But you've got a nice clean SUT there...congrats and welcome.

Re: New H2 owner!
24" wheels is severely going to limit the available tires. I dont even think there is a decent offroad tire larger than the toyo 37" for 24s. 22s open up alot of options, at 20" there's tons of tires available.
