Re: 2 Inch Lift on H2.
Yea, I don't think the H1 and the H2 have the exact same suspension...

Re: 2 Inch Lift on H2.
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.

Re: 2 Inch Lift on H2.
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.

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.

Let's get Rick over to learn more about his setup. Or maybe he can send someone an EMail. hell, PM me his info, and I'll contact him.
I tried to save that pic of his truck...it won;t let allow you to.
Does someone have more pics of that rig? esp.... the suspension setup?

Can we see pics of this truck doing some serious wheeling?
Albie has a 6" Fabtech with 40's and his rubs like a teenage boy getting his first peek at Penthouse.
We had 38's and they rubbed bad as well.
Put them on and see what happens.

Re: 2 Inch Lift on H2.
That is truly the funniest way I have ever heard to describe a tire rubbing after lifting a vehicle.....damn, I blew coffee all over my laptop.
