is there a reason why no alot dont do 38's though? just limits the options? or is it something with rubbing?
and i would do the 37's but might as well get 1 more inch right?

That's the problem in many cases... that "one more inch" sometimes rubs. (I tried telling my wife to rub it and she'd get one inch but oh well.... )

But yes, if you'e going to go to 37's, if you have the room, you may as well go to 38's.

thats what i figured. and the rancho kit can fit up to 40's, so i figured id be ok with the 38. i dont forsee myself wanting 40's so ill stick with the 38's.

and yeah, i tell my wife the same thing

Also 38's and higher get harder and harder to balance..38's would look mean though. You should be able to fit them with the rancho. It mainly depends on the rim backspacing and offset.

[2010_5thgen]

wheels are 4.5" backspacing and -25 offset.

I've been through two sets of Toyo 38's without one issue of balancing. I actually spoke to a guy who worked at 4Wheel Parts, and he had the same tires, didn't balance them, and had no shake.

[tyler1bo]

That's good if you haven't, that's just going by what my local offroad installer said. But i think he can do it. I would rather have the extra inch with the 38's but either one would look fine. Are you going to 40's any time soon?

You can’t put 40’s on just the rancho kit. My last H2 had a fabtech and the torsion bars cranked up and I could only stick 38’s on it.

This H2 has the Rancho kit and my keys arrived today. I think I’ll get them installed and see if I can get my bigger tires installed.

Who are you asking if they’re going to 40’s?

charles haha..You should be able to fit the 40's on yours. I know jonny did it but he said they rubbed slightly (that was the rancho, UCA, and truxxx lift stacked) so he got the 2" body lift to eliminate that. But that all could have come from his rims.

[charles06]

I'm still on the fence right now. The truck drives so nicely as it sits. Plus, I'm not sure if I want to spend close to $6,000 on wheels/tires with Christmas coming up. Although, I could buy them for myself as a Christmas/birthday present. My birthday is the 15th...don't you guys forget it.

Well, my birthday is on the 22nd so here's the deal. I'll buy you a set of wheels and tires and you do the same for me. (it's not my fault I want bigger tires)


Happy early birthday!

Haha. If you want 38's, you can buy mine. They only have about 5,000 miles on them. And the spare is brand new.

[tyler1bo]

What are both of your thoughts on your lifts? Mark's got the rancho and you've got the fabtech..how is the ride quality on them? Any comments? I'm fixing to be in the market and kinda juggling some brands. I think BDS is out (discontinued), bulletproof would be awesome I would think, haven't heard many things about fabtech, heard lots of good things about rancho.

[charles06]

I'm happy with my Fabtech kit. But truthfully, I made so many other changes, it's hard to say how well just the kit has performed. All the parts have held up fine, though.

[tyler1bo]

I saw a lifted SUT in one of my surrounding towns (very rare)..had the fabtech kit with the dual shock setup, dirt logics I believe. But it looked very good, I think he was running irok's in either 39.5 or 41's. And to my surprise, the truck was big, but not ungodly big to wear you couldn't drive it. Not any worse than a lifted diesel. haha. I'm so excited about going up

[charles06]

I bought the truck used and it already had the kit on it, including the dual shock set-up. It had the standard shocks, and the shock hoops kept coming loose. I eventually took them off, and realized that the shocks were pointless. I could compress them by hand, and I'm not a big guy.

I installed the fabtech on my first H2 and the Rancho on this one. I honestly can't tell a difference in ride, installation (ease or lack thereof) or height. If I were to do it again, I'd go with a higher lift.
