Default Re: 2 Inch Lift on H2.

the keys put the same load on the T bars ,but allow the adjustment bolt not to bottom out . done 2500 hd's both ways and you get a harsh ride with both. first one I ever did was a 93 k 5 blazer 4x4 .

If you really wanted the best for going off road you'd ditch the IFS for a solid axle with coil springs or coil overs for the best articulation. Agreed?

Red face Re: 2 Inch Lift on H2.

if i remeber correctly the original H1 is decent off road and it seems to have IFS......

but yeah......a solid axle H2 would be burly.....however one would loose all the advantages of our traction control systems and the daily driver abilities they have.

Yea, I don't think the H1 and the H2 have the exact same suspension...

40s Can be done!!! But its not easy.

See: Picture number 4 on the site posted
http://thehummerclubinc.com/Media/Images.aspx?I=246

This Black SUT is Custom Body Lifted 2". He also cranked T-bars and did something with his coils in the back. There was alot of cutting and welding involved in doing this lift. Yes those tires are on stock rims and I have never heard of Rick bitching about loosing beads.

Guys I would like to thank you for the great response. So far I have learned that I will be purchasing the Cognito kit before I do this. Now I just have to figure our the BACK END!! lol.

They used to use a relocation bracket for the airbag sensor, that would trick the sensor into thinking the back was sagging so it would air up and raise the rear of the vehicle. This is common practice on lowering air bag equipped vehicles aswell.

If you have a contact for Rick, maybe invite him to this topic so more of us can figure out...or talk to him and see if maybe he can fill us in on how it was acomplished.

That is one bada$$ lookin SUT!!! Are those 40's? or 38's?

Wink Re: 2 Inch Lift on H2.

the guy in the link, rick, and i have emailed and spoken on the phone about his setup. he is super helpful and truly has a bad ass rig.

oh....and he has his own, custom made 2" body lift and IS running 39.5 bias ply IROKs.

doable.....i think so; there is your proof.
