some newb questions

[jsbihn]

Hey all,
Well I have some newbie questions since my search has not given me any data.

Ok, Here we go :-p

1) What is the tallest and widest tire and wheel combo you can put on our trucks without a lift and without messing up the suspension?

2) If the air ride goes out, is there a replacement for it that is or isnt air ride that doesnt cost 2000 (or whatever I saw it cost to replace)?

3)
- a) I left my sunroof open yesterday and it rained out. (I know I know, you cant imagine how much I have kicked myself in the butt already). So of course, I come back to a flooded car. Now it wasnt like the Porsche in Risky Business flooded but the carpet was definitely squishy with water. I soaked it up and then shop vac'd the rest (well as much as I could), then I sprayed a industrial strength mold/mildew/ odor cleaner heavily on the carpet. I am thinking about having the steam cleaner guys come out and do their stuff on it today. If it doesnt work, where can I get new padding and maybe even carpet from (at a inexpensive price). I know there are dealers and companies for my Vette that sell really cheap, I figure there has to be for the H2.

- b) How do you remove the seats? It has nut that looks like a torx pattern but in reverse (meaning that it is the shape of the torx head tool, and not actually what the tool fits into). I have read that a normal socket should fit it, but I just want to make sure.

4) Are there any little tricks and tips for cheap or free mods? I know in my Toyota Tundra there was a free mod to allow the rear window to roll all the way down and up without stopping in the middle. I am wondering if there is somethign like that for the H2. Maybe the sunroof (since mine stops one inch from fully open then I need to push the button again to have it fully open). If there any performance tips, or anything else?

5) Is there any ways to make a inflater hose kit? Mine didnt come with it, so I figured I can make one?

6) I would like to lift it eventually but I dont want to go too radical. I have seen some that are and though they look nice, I doubt it is what I want. So I was thinking about 3-6 inches. What is the best way to do this? What is the cheapest way to do this? Do Chevy parts mate to our truck and if so which? Does anyone have any pictures?

7) Do Chevy parts work on our truck since I knw most of it is Chevy/GMC anyways.

Thanks all
