Body Lift KIT Question ?

[Saudi H2]

Is there out on the market any BODY lift kit for the H2 ?

Like the one that's for the H1 ?

As in 1" to 2" lift to the BODY not the suspension ?

thanks for the Help

I don't think there is anything out there!!! I would just get the leveling kit if all you need is 2".

Ther are no "body lift kit" out there but it can be done. It looks funny because of the cap beetween bumpers and body ...

I'm with these guys... if you're only looking for an inch (who isn't? :D ... at least my wife says I should be) just get a set of torsion bar keys.

They'll probably be cheaper to install (definitely easier) than a bodylift on the H2.

It would take all day to install a bodylift (if one were available) and then you'd have to make brackets to raise the bumpers, etc, etc.

I can install a set of torsion keys in 20 minutes.

.....especially if you're only looking for an inch.

I get your point , you are right ,

I was thinking of getting a 6" lift kit, fabtech and wanted to add a couple of inches to it !

I wonder whats the max lift on it ? is it 6" or can i add some spaces of an extra 1" lift ? with out going to the 12" extreme lift kit !

any one knows whats the max sizes for tires on the 6" lift kit with pic. >

You can get about 7'ish " out of a 6" lift by cranking the torsion bars a bit. The max tires are 38's (though I have heard of people using 40's... not sure how but that's what I've read)

If you don't have to worry about parking garages, home garages, etc ,etc, I'd go with a 9" lift.

The ONLY problem IMO is when you raise the truck that much, you need the right size tires with it.

The problem with that is the H2 SUCKS powerwise with a set of 38's unless you supercharge it and even at that, it's not all that great. I can't imagine how terrible it would be with 40's, nevermind anything larger.

It will clear 40's and yes you can add 2" torsion keys and 2" spacers to it without a hitch. I am running 37's on mine but I am just waiting to wear them down and throw on the 40's super swamper m-16's. Also you will definently lose power so I am also doing re-gearing for the 40's.:p

Thanks Bro. your H2 rocks !

You got a point with the power of the car , I won't be fast or strong as befor.

I am just looking for a show , drive slow car , BUT do you think i would have any transmission problems in the future ?

My past 2005 H2 with 22" rims with a 2" lift kit had some transmission problems !

Will it drive and stop and go in your point of view ?

my budget is kind limited, there prices and shiping them all the way to Saudi pluss tax over here is going to kill me .

I looked around and search the web these are some H2 with 6" lift kits with 41" tires looks cool

If your going to go with 40's you will need gearing. That transmission will not last very long pulling all that weight forward and your power curve will go to hell not to mention your gas mileage will be horrendous. Maybe 5 MPG lol!! My plans for mine are re-gearing, a shift kit, and a tranny cooler. That should keep the tranny gremlins at bay. Thanks for the comments on my rig!! I'm getting rid of the chrome to go with a black and orange theme. Hopefully works out!!
