When will we get a 2" - 4" lift??????????
6" is too much for most members to swallow.

I'll do it...probablly on the way out. I'm working for Duke Energy @ Catwaba for the next week & a half. But I'll have some slack days towards the end of the following week...maybe go do dinner one evening just to see your truck.
I should return home to a newly lifted & tricked out SUT

Crush & Screeper;
Thanks for all of the info...I'm in the process of lifting my SUT this week. Trail Duty has delivered again!!!
I couldn't find the tires I wanted & will settle for Toyo AT's until the MT's are available in 30-60 days  I choose this route so I would have a set of highway tires & mud's when off-roading. I went with the KMC rock star rims, fabtech lift, pit arms, tie rods, steering stabilizer, SuperChips, E&G fender flares...not to mention the Gobi racks & Warn wench set up.
I'll drive it for a week or two then decide on the gears...again thanks for all of this info.

Screeper,
That setup is basically what I did to mine. The pricing seems very reasonable. Phil has a good price on those.
The tierod ends are a must. The tires don't seem high to me. I paid 390 a piece for mine and that was the seller's cost. I know there was a price increase and availability was extremely hard to find them. So 475 including mounting and balancing seems okay.
You'll love those tires btw.
Gears, I went with 4.56's. I actually drove mine for a week or so before putting the gears in. I can't believe the members that have liftkits can drive without a gear change. Highway speeds absolutely suck without gears. I can't speak for anyone else but having to put the pedal down just to maintain highway speeds, my gas mileage went from 11'ish to 8.6
Put the gears in and it's back up to low to mid 10's. (I have a heavy foot but then again, I didn't buy the H2 for gas mileage)
Unfortunately, I'm still not completely happy with the performance at highway speeds. I'll be adding a supercharger soon.
You'll definitely want the reprogrammer. I went with a superchips and it seems as good as the Hypertech I had on a Yukon. Changing shift points helps but more importantly, I wanted my speedo and odometer to be right on.... and since you can change the tire size by 1/4" increments on the superchips, it's pretty accurate.
You'll love the truck when it's done, it'll look great. I'm sure I'm the only one that HAD to do it but I had driveshaft problems. I went through 3-4 driveshafts before we figured out it needed to be 2" longer and I had to make mine out of aluminum for decrease vibrations.
Like I said, I'm sure I'm the only idiot that had to do that, I hadn't heard of anyone else having that problem.
Good luck and post some pics. What wheels did you go with?
Mark
PS. If you need me to check with my guy, he had the tires in stock.

Whatever.
Al, that's a lot for those tires.
Also, we didn't regear and haven't had a problem. I don't think Phil has either. A programmer may be a better trade off as you can adjust for tire size.
