Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

The trucks not done yet. should be done later today, but i did get my weels back from Rack Coating in Canal Fulton,OH. they did awesome work. took a little longer than expected but none the less, look great. i havent decided whether or not to keep the center cap chrome or paint it to match the wheel.


i should be picking the truck up around 4:00, so ill take some pictures as long as its not too dark out.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Paint the cap.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Well I just got a call that the truck can't get in for an alignment until tommorow am. So no pictures tonight.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

:iagree:

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

I wanna check it out on the truck then make a desicion after that. I've contemplated powdercoating all the chrome black but I haven't convinced myself yet. I'm sure after the lift and seeing everything together I'll make up my mind.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Those are gonna look so awesome bro! Can't wait to see pics of them on!

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Yeah man, can't wait to see the truck! Are there also chrome bolts that go in those holes around the outside? Are those also on the fence as to whether they stay chrome or go black?

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

the chrome bolts were plastic and they were destroyed in the pre powdercoating phase. Didn't really want them in anyways. Makes it a bit cleaner looking without them I think. I'm dying here! I wanted to pick up the truck today but gotta wait til tomorrow!

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

i was even thinking of painting the chrome center cap gloss black to have it tie in with the truck a bit more without being "flashy".

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Yeah caps are easy to get painted later, test it out see how u feel! Can even photoshop them too once they are on the truck to compare. I bet your soo excited! This is gonna change the look of your truck in a huge good way! You may not be able to sleep tonight hahah!

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

i couldnt sleep last night, thinking i was gonna get it tonight. im just worried about how its going to drive. i hope i didnt ruin my truck. but like anything im sure ill have to get used to it. like my camaro after all my suspension mods, it rode really rough, but i love it now and wouldnt have it any other way. i just hope my wife likes it. were having a baby this year and i hope its not too much for her. i told her i had to get this thing ready for the zombie apocalypse. :giggling:

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Haha!!! Congrats on the baby bro!! Get on our zombie response team now! Ride wise I don't think it's gonna be bad, ur getting an allignment ASAP so ur good! U got a lift or level? I'm leveled with 37, rides like stock but with some minor rubbing at full cock (no homo lol)

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

lift, not leveled. and they are doing the allignment at the shop tomorrow, thats why i cant get it today. they ended up using something liek the dyna beads that i had heard about on here. they would have had to use like 50 oz of stick on weights , so instead they just used those beads for the balancing.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Love the powdercoat. For the caps, spray it with Plastidip. It should match the wheel finish pretty nicely and if it doesn't and you'd rather have it gloss black, you can peal it off and paint it gloss black.:D

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Man those look great. Can't wait to see them on the rig. You running chrome lugs? I think they would look good with chrome centers and lugs. If your running black lugs deff. paint em.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Black lugs.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

I can't wait to see it!! I think you'll love your rancho

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

I can't wait! Heading out about 3:30 to go get it!

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Haha..I'm excited and I don't know why! You'll have to add it to the lifted hummers thread!! :)

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

HER IT IS!!!!

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

well, i gotta say, when i first saw the truck, i was scared. honestly, i thought i ruined my truck and that my wife was going to kill me. she didnt like it.....at first. so i was driving home. drives normal on the roads. handles fine. just really tall. i was thinking, " how is my pregnant wife going to get in and out of this thing?". " how the hell are my dogs going to get in and out of here?" after looking at it more its really growing on me. after we got home, my wife said " you were sooo much taller than everyone on the road" and she laughed. and i got her approval on it now. she got in it. had no problem using the side steps.
the guy who did the ligt is a mazzi dealer and he is going to look into getting me new chrome rivets where the other ones came out. i think it will look pretty good with them. maybe ill do a photoshop to see.
the spare wheel isnt on yet. i have to take it back to get re- powdercoated. it didnt turn out good at all. has some runs in the paint and chrome flakes sticking up.
tires are great. not really noisy....surprisingly. my nittos were louder.
so.....im pretty happy with everything. even though it doesnt fit in the garage. but at least i have remote start.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

I dig it, but you may need to step it up a bit with a larger rim/tire combo. That lift makes the rims look small

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

What!? Thanks but no thanks. It's a brand new setup. The 20's with 38's is plenty for me. It's going to settle down a bit over time. But this setup is just fine with me. Almost too large

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

I'm running 40 inch Goodyears on mine and they have the beads in them as well and I was surprised how well it rides with them. You will love the ride. I also have the Mazzi Hulks but mine are black and polished in 17's. Your truck looks good.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Thanks. I'm still getting used to it. But I do like it. Just need to figure out a way to get my dogs in the back now....

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Tomorrow I?m installing my Power Amp steps. That bit of extra lift is going to give my short ass a hernia....


Mark

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Is there an extension kit or something for the factory tube steps to drop th down a bit? How much lower do the steps sit that you are installing? I'd like to make it a bit easier to helps wife get in.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

I won?t know how much lower the power amp steps will make it till tomorrow.

I?ll measure the two heights and let you know. Accorfing to the pics I?ve seen... looks like quite a bit.

Mark

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

What's their web site? How much do they cost?

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

The steps are made by this company.

When I checked prices, they were about 1100-1200 bucks.

Mark

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

I have the same setup as you and my amps are wonderful. Much better than the tubes IMO. You get what you pay for. My truck would be hell without them.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Can you measure how low your steps sit when their down? From the bottom of the door to the top of the step

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

I thought I read that from the floor to the top of the step was 13 1/2" on their website somewhere.

I'll definitely let you know today when I get the truck back.


Mark

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

So it should be a few inches lower than mine. I'll have to measure my distance and see if it's worth it

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Looks great! I think the tire size is good too, sometimes too much rubber makes them look weird. I think the chrome bolts around the rims will look nice too.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

Well after talking with my wife, we've decided we're gonna need another family car. Lol. So I think at the end of this year right after we have the baby, we're gonna buy out the lease on my sisters 08 h3. We're adding another hummer to the lineup! Lol. Now I need a new house to put all 5 cars lol

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

heres a few pictures i took next to my sisters 08 H3. ive decided that im going to buy out her lease on this thing. only 15K for a H3, loaded with less than 40K on it! great deal.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

LOOK AT YOU! Now you just need an H1.

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

lol...thats what i told my wife. ive wanted a H1 for a while now...maybe a military one. saw one really cheap....but i told her, with these hummers, it reminds me of this H3 commercial.......
http://youtu.be/NviBNiwbRbM

Re: Rancho lift w/20" Mazzi Hulk & Toyo 38's
 

I haven't seen that commercial in ages.

H1s are definitely monsters...I thought hard about an 03 open-top a few years back, but just worry too much about maintenance cost. At least the 2s and 3s are GM parts...break a tie rod on a trail?...get a ride the GMC dealer in town and buy a new one. Break a tie rod on an H1?...depending upon the year you may be waiting quite a while for that part.

If the Mega Millions or Power Ball works out for me I'll revisit this though...
