I'll bet it looks cool as hell too.

The problem is and which happened with my last H2 is you install bigger tires. The truck runs like crap. So I added 4.56 gears. It helped but I still ended up throwing a supercharger on it to make it "better".

That was all cool but even if you discount the headaches and cost to get where I was, I had issues.

I couldn't park in parking decks, (not an overly big deal until you go to bike week and have to leave your rig on the side of the road)

And I got 7-8mpg on the highway.... granted, I usually run 85'ish but when I make 700 mile trips to FL from NC, I don't want 7-8 mpg.

So on this one, I'll put nothing taller than 35" tall (which will probably require a 37), it will look decent and I don't lose that much performance.
