Rick Grucz. theres way more than just a body lift on that thing. he also has a 6.5 suspension lift if i remember correctly. and 42" Iroks. also whatever pucks he fabbed himself must work because he beats the $hit out of that thing offroad.

If he had a 6.5 suspension lift of any make he would have a torsion bar cross member drop down, every company has one with their lift. I think he might have keys and spacers too, but no suspension lift that I can see.

I may be wrong but there is no chance he runs 42's off keys and a 1" body lift. I've seen this thing in person and its a monster. almost everything on it is made by the owner. If you really want to know ask Eric(humminboatin). he knows the guy

Yea I'd be curious to hear how he dose that, are you sure those are 42's?

almost positive. he had the 39.5's when i saw it in oct. 09' then when he fabbed that rear tire carrier he got 42's. That's what Eric told me. and i've seen two separate pictures and after he got the carrier the tires looked significantly bigger. I dont know how he did it but everything on his truck is insane in person. thing looks like its been through hell and back multiple times... and to top it all off. Its his DD. or atleast used to be

Ricks truck had a 2" body lift. The pucks were just generic body lift pucks from JCwhitney. Green keys and then he stuffed the 42's on. And cognito upper control arms.

He also had do to a TON of metal trimming underneigth to keep the tires from scrubbing badly. They still scrub at full lock but at least it will go go full lock.

The idea was to get massive foot print on the ground while not losing ground clearance due to T-Bars beeing dropped.

Get recently got rid of it and is now looking for an H1.

Interesting, he told me something different, but that makes more sense.

i crawled under my h2 yesterday and really debated this.
my only concern is i have bad corrision/rust becuase i bought my h2 from up north, IF i did this i would have to do alot of paint work to the frame or it would look like a dumpster.
im good with a rattle can but it would take me a loong time to do it right.
any recomendations on frame treatment?

Yea I got some surface rust to take care of too. POR30 can applied right on rust, I would still wire brush the bulk off first though.
