Just thinking about it....anyone know of the cheapest 2" and or 4" lift kits for the H2 and how tough are they to install? I will be going to the 37 MT/R's when the BFG's wear out.

Rick,
I went with the 4" Rancho and have been happy with it.
The installation requires a little cutting and welding, so it is more difficult than most.
The 37's are almost too small for the 4" lift and I am thinking of going slightly larger.
I have photos of my complete install and am working on the technical write-up portion. I'll be glad to let you have all my notes if you decide to do it yourself.

I looked at the mountain crusher wheels on the Weld web site and they look like some of the sweetest wheels I have seen.
Do you have any pictures of the wheels on your H2? I sure would like to see them.

Thanks for your help. That truck looks even better in the new pictures. I think I'm gonna have to go this route. I like the shock tower relocation and I love the stealth winch mount.
I wonder if they've had the truck on an RTI ramp. I'd like to see pics of that.

Rick,
Here is mine with the 4" and 37's. Do they make a 2" yet?

I have an Idea. Why don't we all individually E-mail Rancho and ask them to make a 2" lift for the H2. If they get enough requests maybe they will make one.

Ok-
This truck was on an episode of Monster Garage. I found these pics in December of last year before anyone was doing H2 lifts. I called the shop (lost their name/number) who did the work and was told that the suspension offered dramatically improved articulation but at a cost of $4500! That price immediately turned me off. I haven't heard anything about a similar kit since. I wish I had kept their contact information. They were located in California as I recall.
Can anyone shed some light? Bueller? Anyone?
Do we not have any fabricators on this board? I'm gonna contact some old Land Rover buddies and see if they have any ideas. . .
I think Safari Gard, Rockware and the like should consider doing H2 stuff. There are 40,000 of us on the road and more on the way. We need some specialty fab shops in the game.

You can always go a little bigger with a 9.5" lift and 39.5" tires.

i have been looking for a 2-3 kit as well. i have not found any kits marketed in this range yet. the best i have found is re-keying the torsion bars(green key) and coil spring spacers on rear. i am not as confident in this as i would be in a factory engineered kit. i have asked a lot of questions to people who use this method and most say no problems and no harsh ride. keep in mind if you "crank" the torsion bars to max you may get more lift but the ride will suffer. i have been told that you can get a comfortable/safe/conservative 2" lift out of this method. dan/2slo4now(forum member) has torsion lift. just thought i would share what i had found on this subject. hope it helps. if you find a better way please let me know. if you go this route please post results.
Bone stock but dreamin!

I forgot all about the stealth integrated winch they did. I like it too.
Heres one more pic of the coil over shock.

Did you ever find a 2 inch lift? I think a small lift with 37's would be just about right. I like the looks of the Bear Claws. I think Micky Thompson make them.

Does anyone know much about these King coilovers? Are they a good system, or a poor mans lift that cause problems down the road. I like the look very much.

Who is the owner of that truck? Maybe we could get some more info about the coil-over modification. If you have air bags in the back does that mean you would only need the shocks in the front, because the bags would level out the rear?

Thanks Phil!
Exactly what I was thinking/looking for.
"But I wouldn't be surprised to see someone come out with a good 2" lift, as that would be ideal for the H2."

Hey Trav:
I guess what you have does look pretty good but I think you have the BFG 37's X 13.00 X 17 which Phil says are 1" wider than the MT/R's. It still might not look as good with a 4" lift and the 37 MTR's.
I don't know of any 2" lifts...that's kinda why I posted.
Trav, your setup is awesome with the everything including the Gobi (Rules!) Rack!
Nice color too!!!
