Default Re: To Lift or Not to Lift - Please help!

...my 2 cents.

My H2 is my daily driver. So it must hanlde good, is must exceleate and stop close to stock as well. I didn't want a huge lift either.

So, I have seen a few and wheeled with a few lifted HUMMERs in person. Lifting them gives you more clearance to your rock rails/ bumpers and improves your AP and DP angles.

I went with a 4" Rancho Kit. It costed close to the fabtech and was closer to the lifted hieght I wanted. their 4" kit is closer to 5" overall. I went with a 37 13.50 tire. IMO, the tires looks great when comapred to the new ride height. A 6" lift will make those tires look smaller. I also went with an AT tire. (Procomp Extreme AT's). io wanted this truck to handle great in the snow/ ice as well as CO trails and Moab. this truck handles very close to stock in terms of acceleration, stopping, and the more noticable differnece (but not by much) is the cornering. It doens't lean way over or anything. It's just your center of gravity is a little higher and you feel a slight difference. I stuck with the 37" tires so I wouldn't have to worry about accerlation or the stopping. I also added a Hypertech programmer for better shifting points and speedo calibration. So, overall, I would do it again! I am very happy with this lift.

Good luck.
