Default Re: The Official "Elcova" H2 Body Lift thread (for those who say it can't be done).

so whats the max tire size you think you could fit with 2" body lift and stock wheel?
i measured the space at full lock and i could fit 38x13.50 with 4.0 backspacing(my current backspace) without any issues. i was wondering your thoughts tho becuase every truck is different.

With no other lift? I'd just do keys before a body lift. 37's on stock.

my issue is my h2 has very little rake. it use to have a mad rake when i got it, 2 months later i had the airbags replaced and it sits close to level, so theres nothing to level out or the front end would be higher.

also right now im stock on 37's, when they wear out i want to fit larger meats.

You should have switched to springs, then you could have added a spacer. Or stil switch to them and sell your bags. There is a member her selling an air bag spacer from a Fabtech lift here, you could always have a weld shop cut it down and re weld the seat on it... The body lift installed was around $1500.

I have 2 sets of Air Spring Spacers left over from when I had them custom made for my H2. They are milled from UHMW Plastic. I will sell a set for $75 Shipped.

Here is another body lift, 3" with the frame cut at the radiator support (so no spacer needed) and I assume the same in the rear.
