To me a lift will only make you top heavy. You don't want a lift if your on a 45% side grade you will roll over. Larger tires won't do a thing! Because tire rotation and spining is a problem. You need something to grip and turn slowly. This is not a tractor pull!! I said to knock off the clearance stuff. You don't want to chop the top you want all the weight possible. I like being able to go 100 mph when I want to or traveling at 85mph shorten the trip. An H1's top speed is 72 mph. A Duramax is $45,000 at Lynch Hummer. A Duramax is only 300hp with very high torque 520 ft lbs
