Looks Awesome! did you upgrade shocks or do extensions? How do they ride

Stock suspension/stocks. The truxx leveling kit came with shock mount extensions.... Easy to install...

Ride feels a lot like stock. I am going in for allignment tomorrow just to be sure everythings straight.... Small investment considering the price of 5 new tires (did spare too)

Looks great, now that they are on do you think you could have gone bigger?

looks great.
:iagree:


it does look like you need to use some griot's bumper reconditioner on your fading rear bumper. (from you pic)

Love that SE orange! The tires look great too, 37's just look right on a H2, like they are supposed to be OE.

I'll second the Griots trim reconditioner, I put on a couple coats in July, granted it's only been about 4 mo but we've been through one snow event with salt on the roads, after a wash it still looks like I just applied it. Great product!

Nice. That orange is growing on me. Would really look good without any chrome. Also, get out the heat gun and take those side emblems off.

Got the same truck. 37's look good. I like that you left the the LE stock rim. I may consider that for my next set of tires. Will the 37's worsen the gas milage?

I really have not had time to get under the truck and do a full lock to lock turn to check clearance. The weather has been raining since I got them put on.

I had allignment yesterday and wow, what a difference. When I installed the leveling kit, everything went out of wack...

Not worried about the bumper right now, we are expecting snow here in Buffalo this week! Maybe in the spring...

I feel no difference with these tires over the stock ones as far as handling... The pictures don't due it justice. it looks way better in person. When I am sitting at a stoplight I have seen people pointing at the tires... LOVE IT!

i would remove them before i even think of rat canning them.

just thinkign of all the work of taping around them just to spray them alone, where as a heat gun and some fishing wire alone would ake care of it.

if anything.. i would remove them first, then spray them, then put them back on

Sure will, down 2-3 mpg from what you see now.

"Gas mileage"? Was that an option for the H2? Mine didn't come with "gas mileage". Wonder if I can order that from an aftermarket supplier! :popcorn:
