With the added keys, 3" body lift, removed airbags/ replaced with taller rear springs...as to avoid that whole airbag sensor bs (I had issues on a couple H2's with this setup with 37's), I think you could fit a 37 13.50 in there with increased travel over stock, but I just don;t see how the 40's would work. The Last H2 I saw with 40's was at SEMA with 10" lift.


therefore, if running a bigger tire, having more ground clearance, perfecting the stock suspension setup via quality pieces, and becoming more capable off-road is "lame" and/or "worthless"....well then sign me and my truck up!


That's the whole point of this thread. I honeslty feel 40's will fawk that truck up...but 38's might just be doable with the proper setup. I'm new to this type of lift setup/discussion. I understand the complete Fabtech 6" and Rancho 4" kits and am fully aware of what fits and doesn;t with those, but not with the B.L. and who would make a complete kit for that.

DUCK

If 40's will fit, i'll eat those words!!!! But I doubt it can be done without a $hitload of other mods outside of the tbar crank/keys, and a 3" body lift.
I'm not even sure that the front end of our H2's would hold up to 40's...even with the added mods. That may require the SAS conversion to do so...esp if you add a front Elocker like Tomp already has and I plan to do as well.

My plan....in case anyone cares) is to run the same setup as TomP with a set of 37 13.50 18 Toyo MT on the XD Wheels. I;m still researching on what shocks I can do this with as I would like to run proper extended length front and rear/ also a FOX Resi. shock if at all possible.
