Hi, I am new to the board and just got my '06 h2 and will be putting on 35 or 37" muds, but can't decide yet. I have seen a few set ups on this forum I like. It seems that I have to get a 2" leveling kit to go with 37's or I'll have rubbing problems. Just wanted to get some advice from people who have both set ups and maybe some pictures. Keep in mind I'm in Orange County and will do no off roading and will go with a 18X9.75 wheel. I would appreciate some pics of your guys' awesome rides. Thanks.

What width tire you talking about?
I would avoid the 2" leveling kit. I've been told by a few experienced people that the kits put extra stress on front end parts and cause premature wear. In all likelihood, you won't need the kit to clear 37s.

I am currently running a set of Motto MT700 18/9.5 rims loaded with 325/60/18 Toyo Open Country ATs. They only had 4 ATs when I bought mine so I loaded my spare with a 35x12.5x18 Open Country MT. I am thinking next tire purchase going with the MTs all the way around. I like the look better of the MT vice the AT. Been to lazy to shoot photos yet but may have some in the near future.

Re: Help...........37" or 35", with no lift?
37x13.50x17 Toyo M/T's on stock rims with no lift on an 03 H2. Only slight rubbing when making tight turns. Just took off some BFG muds and they were WAY louder than the Toyo's on the road.

Goodyear MTR's 37" no lift...no leveling..never a rub on stock wheels. Looks and rides awesome. Could not be happier. Been off road on some medium grade stff..nothing crazy but never ever a rub even with 4 passengers. I have learned all Hummers come off differently but I guess i got lucky. I might tight the torsion bars an inch or so for a little more level look but I am indecisive cause I do not want to affect ride quality. The MTR's are smoothe as silk and fairly quiet and give the truck a whole new look without a lift. BTW I am on stock rims as well.

Better?
Bolts - Other than the bad alignment, I had zero issues running 37s with all else stock. The height difference was very noticeable - a lot of non-H2 owners would come up to me and ask if it was lifted. But the nice thing is, the handling was the same and none of your warranty was voided. You MIGHT get some rubbing at the top of the wells if you go over something like a speed bump, but it's not going to hurt anything.
I've been VERY pleased with the MTRs. If you're not taking it off-road, I would highly recommend these tires - I've put about 20,000 miles on them and they show almost no wear at all. They're one of the harder compound tires out there.

37s, no lift. Offset wheels eliminated the rubbing.

Adam: What kind of wheels do you have and what is the backspacing? I'm looking for black wheels with 4.5" BS.
Thanks in advance. |

37" BFG MTs on stock rims! No lift.
I bought my 2nd set 2 weeks ago. I got ~35K miles out of the last set with a lot of wheeling trips.
They balance easily, they're fairly quiet and they perform well in a wide range of conditions. I have heard they suck in snow, but we don't get that in Central Texas. |

Thanks. Are you happy with them?
It looks like they also come in 4.5" BS: http://www.4wheelparts.com/4wp/products/productLine.asp?cat=WHE&prodline=3204&catName=&man =TECH
I assume I would want the 9" ones, right?
I've got the 37" X 13" (name says 12.5", but specs say 13.1") Cooper STTs.
Something like?:
Rock Crawler Series 97
Size: 17 X 9 Bolt Pattern: 8-6.5
Back Spacing: 4.5 Finish: Black Painted
PCW97-7981

Re: Help...........37" or 35", with no lift?
well i got the front leveling kit and 5000 miles and no problems,
i'm running 37x12.50xR17 Procomp Extreme a/t's on the stock wheels and even with the leveling kit, i have a slight rub at full turn. i would go with the 37" and crank the torsion keys a bit and you should be fine, just go with a 12.5 wide tire.
