needing help with what kind and where ( LIFT KITS )???

[superbeast]

i am buying a 04 h2 on friday ( first one for me ) and want to put like a 2 or 3 inch lift and more then likely 37 mtr's so i would like to know if there is any and if so what kind and best prices and where to get one , also looking to keep the stock ride or if better , it also has the rear airbags , if anyone has some pics that would be great also

[drmiles]

Simply adjust the torsion bars upward. I think mine is too high in the front now.. those pics were shortly after I had it done. I noticed that if I added the winch it sagged even more, so I cranked the torsion bars a couple of turns.
However If I had it to do over I would go with the Fabtech lift and add upgraded trailer arms, instead of stock.

yea but if you re-gear you will gain a lot of the power back....cheaper than going FI.
Edit:
Or better yet do both!!!!

Has anyone installed the extended torsion key set up with rear spacers. I guess this 2" lift would make a little more room.

who is adam from co and how do i get ahold of him to find out where and what kind to get of this size

[DH22G]

talk to Adam in co... he has the rancho 2 in with 37s and the thing is SICK

[drmiles]

Yeah, may do both.

Regearing would help more on the low end than @ the top. Truck has plenty of power under 50mph (Breathless performance package, powerflash programmer, extreme flow exhaust). Its driving 70mph in a 6,000 lb brick with a 7,000 lb trailer up hill that its lacking. Needs more horses for that Supercharging now, trade for duramax desiel in 2006.

Soc...those tires almost look small with that lift! Amazing that the H2 can make 37's look small. Do you need to do any other mods if you lift? Driveshaft? Does a lift give you driveline vibes? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I agree, sometimes they look quite small. Nope, no other modifications had to be done. I know the kit required some light welding, but the dealership took care of everything. No vibration at all, and it rides quite well.

Just saw th post. there is no lift onthat truck, unless he did this very recently. We both have the 37" BFG MT's and they fit fine. his rub a bit when flexed though. He has offset rims causing that. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>


Last time i saw him he said he did.. he prototyped rancho 2in lift... or maybe iam mistaken.... but it is sick cant wait to see that sut at moab!

Looks it is! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I wondered if you took it off road. I am curious to find out how it handles on the off camber and climbing situations. Still love that look though. ... if only my garage opening were higher... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Tim,

As of yet, no. I'm fairly new to this area and I'm not even sure where to take it, to be quite honest.

Interesting drmiles....I'm use to jeeps...and beleive me you really feel the difference in the low end once you go to 33's....you need 4.56 or 4.88 when you go to a 35's in a wrangler.

[drmiles]

Discussed regearing a couple of times.. (Eaton was coming out with 5:13). Most of the power loss is evident @ highway speeds > 80mph. Other wise didn't feel necessary. Now I have a 7,000# trailer to pull, thinking about supercharging to compensate..

Another pic

[superbeast]

drmiles is yours witout a lift and what size of tires and what kind ?? oh yea hows the ride over stock

I asked the asst. Manager at O.R.W. about those. He said they have tried two of them and they had very bad luck. Something about the cam not holding .
