Re: First Lifted H2
Screw up the ride? How bout performance? I need more geddy up. Pulling a trailer isn't the coolest either.

Re: First Lifted H2
The steering/handling has def changed for the worse. The ride is pretty close to stock though. I think it was regeared because the power seems typical as well. It does have K&N air intake and superflow exhaust which probably helps too.
What's a Treehugger? Brush guard? I do want to do that, but I think power running boards are first...

Re: First Lifted H2
Yeah if you go offroading in a sandbox!..... you will crush the h3ll out of them going over a good trail, I would love to have them if I didn't play every now and then with mine... its so freaking tall and it would look better without the OEM rails, but I would hate to spend $1k+ on rails that get crushed in the first trail. 
..........Unless!......they came off really easy!

Re: First Lifted H2
Do you take your OEM one's off or just replace them when you crush 'em?
Where did you get your Demon Guard? I like the look of that better than the Tree Hugger.

I take them off every time I got trailing, its only 8 bolts, takes 5mins 
Oh the DemonGuards... Thanks  ! I make the DemonGuards, I designed them.
Unfortunately my shop and house got flooded 4 months ago with 6 feet of muddy water, so right now its looking like I'll have it back up and running in January 2011 or hopefully before, if you can wait that long I'll make you one.
PM for more info.
Thanks again.

Re: First Lifted H2
Looks great but might look even better with some bigger tires on it.

Re: First Lifted H2
Nice H2! Larger tires are a toss up. I love the look and off roading with them, but I hate what it does to performance if you don't regear.

Re: First Lifted H2
Is the front cranked higher than the rear? I think that the 22" Rockstar he is running is just a really high offset, if it was a lower offset and they stuck out more the tires would not look as small. Still looks goood none the less.

Re: First Lifted H2
I don't know how to tell if he cranked the torsion keys (can I tell by looking?), but it sits pretty level. The Fabtech lift pushed the front wheels out 1.5" on each side as well.

Yep look under the crossmemember towards the middle of the vehicle, you will see where the torsion bar connects from the lower A arm up front to the torrsion key in the crossmember, there will be a bolt threading into a steel shank that goes against the torrsion key. If the bolt is threaded all the way in (or close to all the way), you know they are cranked. |
