Thanks Trav:

As I thought....the a 4" lift might be too much for the 37"s (looks wise)...that'll push me to find a good 2" lift.

I'll get back to you if the 4" is what I eventually do.

I am a custom fabricator but have not messed much with lifts. I spoke to the performance shop that did the lift on the white H2 in the NH White mountain happening and he said those shocks are about 500 a piece and just trying to lift the H2 with those alone will pose a potential risk on the half shafts. Now that I think about it that my be the reason there is not a good 2" lift available. He said the with the 4" lift they provide a spacer to keep the half shaft in it's proper location. Perhaps with a 2" there is not enough room to add a spacer yet far enough away to pose a problem??? I just got off the phone with the performance shop who seems to be very knowledgeable and he is going to get back to me shortly with any info on a 2" lift, or if there would be a way to achieve it.

Victoria Offroad sold a 2 inch lift kit for a while on eBay. It was just torsion bar keys although they tried to conceal that and charge 300 bucks! If you go that route, it kills the ride. NOT RECOMMENDED.

I'm waiting for the exact same solution you guys want - 2 inch lift running 37' XTerrains or The Baja Claws.

I wish the manufacturers would take notice and stop all this 9-20+ inch nonsense that can't even hold its alignment. Thats great for show trucks but worthless to me.

I'm still waiting for a suspension system that offers a substantial improvement in articulation without adding additional height.

I found this truck a while back. Its running King coil-overs that provide a 2 inch lift.

Just thinking about it....anyone know of the cheapest 2" and or 4" lift kits for the H2 and how tough are they to install? I will be going to the 37 MT/R's when the BFG's wear out.

I have the 03 Lux without airbags and would be very interested in a 2" lift to increase offroad clearance without raising my center of gravity too much or sacrificing drivability since I use my H2 as my everyday ride. The coil over shock looks interesting. How might this affect the ride (street & offroad)? Where can you get them?

The coil over kit is by www.custommotorsports.com, I called them awhile back and was offered to drive this H2, so I can check out the ride quality. The said it rides better than stock. My only concern was that coil-over shock work great offroad, but on the pavement they tend to be a little too soft and you will get a lot of body roll. These guys seem to know what they are doing though, so I still might fly down to check it out.
