Nitto tires rubbing on stock H2?

Slow down there turbo! lol

Its normal for tires to rub on the sway bars on the H2. Don't worry I till not harm the tire or the sway bar. Unless you like to drive all the way to work every day with the steering wheel at full lock and somehow you make it there doing donuts! lol.

I think that any H2 running 20" wheels with only 35"'s on it looks kinda goofy regardless if its lifted or not. If you really want a porportionate look go with a torsion bar lift and 37's.

If you go wider than 12.5 on a 37" tire you will need to do the Torsion lift or you are going to have rubing problems.

I would recommend the the chevy green keys (These are just Torsion Keys from a 1500 chevy truck ) And get the RANCHO RS5000 shocks. They are $45/ea. from Summit. The site on Summit will say "Backorder-expected ship date of (Two weeks from whatever the day is) " However this is not the case. When you place your order Summit just has Rancho drop ship them directly to you.

Do NOT use the factory shocks with the T-bar lift it will ride terrible and will quickly destroy your factory shocks as they are the first limiting factor on the H2 front suspension.

well, im not running 20" wheels now. im not even sure if i want to. i think i may just go with 37" tall tires on the stock 17" wheel. so if i lift the front with new torsion keys, running 37" tall tires will be fine?i dont need to lift the back at all? how much does it take to level out the front to match the back? 1 1/2-2"? doing this, would i need to get all 4 same shock sizes? since the back would stay the same height and the front is raised x amount of inches.

?humminNboatin... i have the truxx f/r lift with the 2" tall shock extensions that came with the kit. can the shocks still fail sooner than expected?

found a set of the green keys on ebay for 45 bucks. should be getting the rancho shocks soon from summit. how much lift does it take to level the truck out? about 1 1/2"?

KEYS ARE NOT NEEDED FOR 1 1/2 ,JUST CRANK THE T BARS . bOTH THE KEYS AND CRANKING THE T BARS WILL RUIN THE NICE RIDE AND MAKE IT ROUGH .

[2010_5thgen]

So just turn the stock torsion keys? Why has everyone been saying to get these green keys?

[IRA51]

what you do is crank the T bars 1/2 turn each and see if it stops rubbing. If not crank them another 1/2 turn if needed . That should do it . You WILL need to go get the alignment checked /done. You want to lift it just enough to stop the rubbing . It's free and works.
