2inch lift

[dr p]

found this two inch lift on e-bay this truck has 37's with 2" lift-looks real nice-I thought-know there was a thread asking about 2" lift previously.

That is beautiful. 2 inch lift with 37's is just the right touch, not overdoing it, but large enough to noticeably make the H2 meaner. If my garage would let me I would definitely do this.

A quick question .... do these lifts void our H2 factory warranty ?

Thanx,

I love those steps too. Where can we get them?

Cheers

[HeeHaw]

I agree. A very cool truck! One of the few modified H2's I really like.

HeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwwwww

look on ebay for the 2" lift the company that sells it is also selling the side steps. it came up on i thind the 7th page when putting hummer h2 in search engine. I really agree with zazing sets apart but not overdone and not top heavy for real offroading. The company says people with kits installed says the truck handles better than stock. I can beleive this my tj with a 4 inch lift rode much better than stock.

Alright....this IS VERY interesting and I would very much appreciate more info on this.

I have to agree that a 2" lift and 37's make for a perfect combination all around....not too high to destroy the center of gravity, but definitely a bit more clearance and obviously excellent/outstanding looks!!

I like the way my rig looks with the top racks....but if I take off the racks, I lose 3" from the top.....THUS ALLOWING it to fit in my garage if I lift it: HELLO!!!!!

Now....how is the lift going to help the ride? I can't see how it's going to ride better then stock. Most guys with lifts tell me they sacrifice handling, especially in cornering and other areas. Can anyone add some info to this?

Looks Great...... Do you know the over all Height?

I looked into these steps but choose not to buy them since you had to replace the factory nerf bar. I bought a new step that bolts to the factory nerf bars and no drilling was required. The look is far better than either step offered by Hummer. I will take some pictures and post them on the board.

[H2Jim]

Where did you get the steps?

[ANGELO D.]

I THINK THE 2IN LIFT LOOKS OK BUT I WENT FOR THE RANCHO 4IN LIFT AND I AM QUITE PLEASE WITH IT. THE PERFORMANCE ON AND OFF THE ROAD IS GREAT. I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF MY BLACK H2 WITH RANCHO 4IN LIFT.

[NCHummerman]

Looks great Angelo .... what does the lift do to the factory Warranty ?

THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS HUMMERMAN, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED MY H2 THAT THEY WOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY. THE DEALER WAS ACTUALLY OFFERING RANCHO LIFTS BUT THEY WERE GOING TO FARM OUT THE WORK TO A LOCAL 4WD SHOP
AND MARK UP THE PRICE 50%. I TOLD THEM I HAD I LOCAL SHOP IN SALINAS THAT COULD DO THE WORK AND I SAVED MONEY AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WOULD HONOR WARRANTY. I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE DEALER.

The kit sold on ebay for the air bag version selling at 295.00. The kit is just torsion bar keyways (cams) for the front to add 2" easily. The back is actually lifted by the factory airbags as they are designed to level the vehicle. I called VPO on wednesday and found this out.

This is the keyway.(paint it flat black and let it get dirty thus the dealer will not notice especially if you went with larger tires)

So we can raise the airbag version for 49.00 plus shipping or 295.00. This is a tough decision.

The steps are made by N-FAB here in Houston.

The step takes the place of the factory Rocker Panel Protecton.

tbarrow
what is included for the non airbag trucks? this guy is just reselling a 49 dollar part for 250??

ANGELO D.
I want to "paint" my grill black. How did you do yours and what material did you use? I did not want to "paint" it due to stone chips, but was looking at Imron paint that is more durable.


TBARROW
Is this the only piece we need for a AIR bag model??

Thanks,
ROB

TBarrow, I have an air bag set up, so this key way will fit in the standard H2 torsion retainer?

How is the ride now? I had a 2002 GMC HD Crew 4x and raised the torsion bars just about 1" to level it out and the ride was greatly affected. The front inside wheel actually hopped when going around corners. I presume the keyway raises without changing the torque on the bar?

Thanks much for sharing.... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

H2NorCal,

The key allows you to turn the torsion bar adjusting bolt further, which may result in a harsher ride.

A lot of these keys are Fords keys, allowing more height adjustment than GM keys.

[TBarrow]

I am just as interested as you. I called them to see what it consisted of and that is what they said. I can not tell you about the ride as I am still considering this. I know the owner of N-FAB and he sells the steps to VPO. I never asked about the coil spring version as I have the Air Suspension.

A friend of mine tweaked the torsion bars on his Z71. While it gave a few inches of lift and LOOKED good, it ruined the ride.

Another disadvantage is that it will wear out steering components and the CV's because of the more extreme angles placed on them.

You also lose suspension travel when you tweak the bars. For ever inch you crank them up, you lose an inch of downtravel.

I finally got a chance to take some pictures of my new steps for my H2. I love the look of these steps, they bolt to the factory nerf bar and did not require any drilling. I think it give the truck a much better look. I am going to start a new thread on this topic and also took a picture of my friend H2 with similar steps. Check out his paint job.
