I agree, IFS in general wears out faster with bigger tires and a lift. I also think that 15.5 inch wide tires look great but have way too much grip. It also depends on if your going to off road your Hummer after you lift it.

BTW, Cognito sells a 7" lift. I know guys that run them on the GM full size pickups with larger size tires without any trouble.

NCBound, go to the tech section and search on lifts. That's a good place to start.
