Hi everyone,

Hopefully one of you can answer my question (GM cannot seem to get in touch with the right engineer, or they dont want too...). Anyway, I keep reading about how much suspension travel the H2 has. Well, doesn't it have the same suspension as the 2500 trucks and suburbans? How much travel does it actually have, in inches? Preferably broken down into compression and rebound. And, if possible, how much travel does the shock have? It sounds like a lot of you have done a lot of work with the front suspension, so hopefully you can help. Supposedly the long travel shocks have about .5" more travel at the shock, but what does that equate to at the wheel? It could be more droop, compression, combination of both, or nothing if it hits another stop... Thanks

Anyone??? Someone has had to have checked the suspension travel on these things.

Suspension travel is 8.7 inches in front and 10.3 inches in back

That sure sounds like compression (or maybe droop) but not total combined travel.

Anyone else? I too have heard 8.7 in the front, then others claim is 12, others less than 2". GM doesn't seem to know.

Thanks
