Default Lift kits

I was thinking about getting a lift for our H2. What kit is recommended? What tire and wheel combo and offset? Will I need to modify the fenders? Will the gas mileage drop? What about wind noise? Can I do it myself, or are some kits harder to install than others?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I hope they haven't been asked before.

I could probably use the hand in my avatar, but would like something more solid.

Could I get 44's under with a 6" lift? Anyone tried that?

I guess that depends on your perspective.

You installed a CB in your truck right? If so you can totally put a lift kit on, the difficulty is pretty much the same. Oh and well you have all the front end components off I would reccomend doing a solid front axle conversion, it only takes about and extra 15 minutes to install. Good luck Ken.

OUCH!

I really want some of those 53" XZLs or XML or ZTL or PHTZLMTPEA>.>>>>>>........... whatever they are.

That's the main reason I want to get an old duece+.5 or 5-ton.... just so I can slap six of those babies on. I can get a set of six for about $750 delivered.
