Seems like you put a lotta dough and time into this one! I love what you've done with it. How do you like the dual shocks in the front? I'm thinking of going the cognito/fox route in the future.

Well in that case you could go to a Cognito couldn't you? I think you have to cut the diff on them as well, normal cognito lifts require cutting of the diff. It's just that they are really $$$.

Yea, and they don't even offer a complete kit. I guess it's big enough for the time being.

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
Fabtech and Bulletproof don't cut. Which is one reason why I chose them.
As for the 12" lift - I don't think I would have gone with 12" coming from stock. The 6" was a major lift for a while....but I've had it for 7 years now. It's "stock" to me. And I'm in Texas and TIRED of sitting at traffic lights with a bigger truck than mine on either side. I figured you only live once....why not go totally badass with this beautiful truck?

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
If you live in Texas why not just go to B&C Off Road and have a 18" Third Coast made for your H2 (shown with a 3" body lift as well below).

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
I just can't get over the torsion bar drops on the B&C's. I'm pretty sure they just fab some full throttle kits. Don't get me wrong they have made some sick stuff. But I'm not a huge fan of those ugly T-bar drops.

Sorry DF, Fabtech cuts too.... In my first H2, I installed a Fabtech and had to cut.
Even with Rancho, I believe I had to cut. (I installed, just don't remember)

You are indeed correct. I misread - Fabtech does cut the differential. But neither Fabtech nor Bulletproof cuts into the frame. Cognito does.

Can you repeat that? I want my wife to see that... I am right about something... she'll just tell me that even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while....LOL.
Seriously though... I had thought about going with a Cognito setup, I'm glad to see I didn't, I don't want to cut into the frame. (though I'm in the bodyshop- business)
Thanks,
Mark

Re: LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!
My Bulletproof kit arrived at the shop yesterday. Fox shocks, gears, steps and exhaust are already done. Just need to finish the lift and get the new tires/wheels on, and it's good to go. Hopefully early next week.
Oh - and check the height. Texas lift laws say max height on the headlights is 54". It's going to be VERY close, otherwise it'll need some more mods.

Did you have any issues with the install? How did you find Bulletproof's customer service if you needed to get in touch with them? Did the lift kit include everything you needed for the install? What size tires and any other pictures of the finished lift?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
