I wish Bilstein had this application for H2.

How hard is replacing the shocks on the H2??

Is jacking-up/lifting the vehicle necessary or can it be done in the driveway?

After consulting with my 'Yoda" brother, Cranky, on the phone, I've decided that the Bilsteins are the way to go. And if they suck I can blame it on the ricer.

I think they both use the same technology except the pistons on the extreme travel are thicker and, of course, you have the extra oil.

I've had them on F250, Expedition and a Jeep and thought they tamed everything well and didn't allow for sway on the highway. Personally, I think they stop the rebound extremely well compared to anything else I've had, even Rancho 9000s.

I haven't thought about putting any new shocks on the H2 until you brought it up, but I'll be anxious to see what you think of the bilsteins since you had IAS on your Tahoe before.

I did, you knucklehead.
I found the thread with Brklyn, but I wanted to see if anyone else had installed them but hadn't written anything up yet. I was trying to coax some of the newbies or lurkers into participating.

I put the Rancho RS9000X on my H2. Way better performance both on and off road. I like how you can adjust the shock to 9 different settings. While on the road I set them at 4 and when off road adjust them to 7.

Don't screw around, get the Bilsteins , you will not regret it.

They are engineered specificly for each vehicle.

shox.com is a good source, they have been around for a long time.

HI Guys, I have them on my rig. 37 MTA's as well. They work great. Like having an extra sway bar on road and very compliant off road.
I have had the shocks on for 32k miles and they are still as new. Great investment in upgrading to any good aftermarket shock.
