Getting stale, time for a few mods...

[OrangeCrush]

I love my H2 but I?m getting bored with her looks. I think the better description is I?m getting jealous of people like Bimmer and Rousch?s H2?s.... lol..


I really like some of the lifted trucks on here so it?s time to make a few mods.

1) I?m going to start off with the 2? body lift. Since putting the diesel in the truck, the front bumper needed to be lifted a bit anyways because the front brackets for bumper aren?t quite in the same spot because of the HD2500 radiator support.


2) Since I?m getting the bodylift, it?s time to step up to 40?s. The 37?s on the truck have always seemed too small to me and I think it?s the rims.

So here?s the rims I want.



3) New tires... I?ve tried about every tire out there except the Rockers which I like. Rousch said they?re not radials and since I do a lot of highway driving, I think I?ll stay away from them. I?ve been running the open country?s but would like something better in looks. (if I can find something that works as well... they?ve been great tires)

4) Tie rod ends... the fabtech tie rod ends are getting worn out. (which is funny because they didn?t last anywhere near as long as my last set on my last lifted H2)

5) ball joints... it?s time!

6) Last but not least, I?ve always wanted an X50 light bar on the truck and this is the time to do it.

So let the modding begin!!!

Look at the BFG KM2 tire. Running those on my H2 and H3 and love them!

When you get the Body Lift, do you mind posting the lengths of the various bolts....I know that Bimmer has provided some good info on it and posted some pics, but he ordered the HD2500 kit and apparently some of the bolts he required were not in the kit. If you could post a list of the parts you used, that would be great for those of us who want to put one together ourselves. From the info I have gathered so far, it seems that only the BL pucks and longer bolts are required as well as a Radiator lowering bracket (which is easy to fab up yourself). Not too sure about an extension of the steering shaft, as the stock one is adjustable (again, not too sure if it adjusts far enough). So any info on this would be great (either here or in the Official Body Lift thread in the Technical Section). Cheers!

Indy,

I don?t mind but as busy as my shop is, I?m going to call the same people that did Jon?s lift and let them do it.

I?m so far behind, I don?t have time to do anything. I hate to pay someone to do something I?m perfectly capable of doing myself but I?ve got much bigger projects to finish than starting something minor like this.

Here?s what I?m starting to put my efforts into...

























I just had this trailer built... now I have to start modifying it the way I want it.

(plus I need matching wheels now...lol)

Wow, that is going to be one nice trailer...are you using your H2 to tow it or will some diesel be doing that? Anyways, have fun customizing it... Cheers.

Mark I have ran the toyos and now im running the SS M16's. they ride very smooth and look better than the toyos IMO. they are a bit louder but its not bad at all. I have 5K on them with little to no visible wear. can't wait to see how it turns out!
