Re: 8 months later and now I have my hummer
Depends on how high you plan to go. With 35's you could get either. I would crank it up and get the 1" stops.
Have a search around for ideas...

Re: 8 months later and now I have my hummer
the 1" stops pop out and soon as you go offroad. They are too long. you have to crank teh tbars to 24.25 of higher for them to work well/ not pop out and that is out of the safe zone for suspension height.
The 1/2" stops and 23.50 is the ideal height from center of hub to bottom of fender.
Order the bilstien shocks with 1/2 stops. I've been running the setup for some time now. I also put Rancho 9000XL shocks in the rear since they are adjustable and allow for extra weight when towing or loading the truck down. I had the 1" stops and they are way too tall.
you can go with 315 17 16 on the stock rims and be good to go. You will get rub and full turn lock to lock on tge swaybar...but nothing to worry about there.
I changed out wheels too on mine. Went with a 17" rim/ 35 12.50 17 mt tires and at 23.50, I have zero rubbing.

Re: 8 months later and now I have my hummer
Tim is right about going with the 1/2" over the 1" bumpstops
I wouldn't swap the rear shocks for the ranchos as they are not high pressure charged like the OEM or Bilstein shocks are. The high pressure charging provides some spring rate assistance for the leaf springs to allow for higher payloads.
The Rancho shocks are nice shocks, they just dont have the high pressure charging

Re: 8 months later and now I have my hummer
Guys I love this truck. I'm so happy with it. I ordered the blistein shocks with the bump stop. I don't remember what size bump stops I got. They're cheap anyway. I've got big plans for the truck. I'm just really happy with it. And it's amazing to have one after looking at them online for 8 months now.

Re: 8 months later and now I have my hummer
Well, all good things must come to an end. I just landed in Ireland and I'm on my way back to Iraq. Sucks having to go back, but it's okay. I was smart enough to take my leave well past the halfway point. So, I only have a couple more months. I miss my truck already. I received the weathertech floor mats. Those things are awsome! They fit so well and cover the entire floor. If i didn't know better you'd think it had vinyl flooring instead of carpet. They're going to awsome for keeping the mud out of the carpet. I didn't put on the leveling kit just yet. I wanted to wait untill I was going to buy new tires. So the kit is sitting in my room till I get back. Well, I hope all is well with you all. Wish me luck. And I'll be on once I get back to camp.
