If you had air suspension, would doing this convert it to spring.... or would you have to first convert then do the mini lift.

(btw, should have got the deer, had deer steaks and mounted it on the wall of your garage - you know.... being your first kill and all..... make sure that you stripe the H2 (again since it is its first kill) )

First kill with the H2. I hit one with my 04 Subaru STi on the way to the coast 7 years ago. Damage was a lot more though.

I converted the air suspension shortly after getting my H2 last year: http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=42682

I've seen other posts where people did the mini lift keeping the air in the rear. A lot of people only raise the front to level the truck out.

Here's a breakdown on cost:

Cognito UCA - www.dmaxstore.com - $470
Bilsteins x4 - www.dmaxstore.com - $330
New torsion bolts - www.dmaxstore.com - $10
Kryptonite Front Endlinks - www.dmaxstore.com - $100
Torsion Bar Tool - www.dmaxstore.com - $120 (should be able to sell this and recoup some $)
Traxda torsion keys, rear spacers, front shock extenders (not used) - www.traxda.com - $347
Install - me - $0
Alignment - Goodyear - $79
ATX Artillery 17x9 - America's Tires - $190 x5
Toyo Open Country MT 37x13.5x17 - America's Tires - $375 x5

Next up - wider fender flares (any ideas?) and lower gears in the pumpkins.
