Before you do anything, wait. You need to let the truck settle into it's new configuration for a while. Mine was the same way when I got it. Frankly, it was a bit scary to drive for the first fifty to hundred miles.

After that, things settled in nicely and the truck drove great.

Here's what mine is set it:
85 octane

dial in your tire size: check to make sure your tires are a true 37" tire from the manufact's site before setting.

shift fimness: harder

increase rev limiter to second from the highest setting

1-2 gear +4
2-3 gear +5
3-4 gear +6

This seems to work best for my style of driving.

Default Re: lifted h2 with roll.....

sounds good. thanks for all the help.. ill give it a try with those hypertech settings .. also that is good to know about the "break in period" that makes sense.. ill give it some time..i love the look of the truck and being up higher and it did great in the mudd.... the place that did the work wants me to bring it back in 1000 miles to check out everything and make sure everything is good..... would it be a good idea to get different gears? to try and get alittle power back if so which ones. 4.88? .. thanks

I did 4:88 gears in mine and it was about perfect with 38" tires. With the 37's, its gonna be geared a little high. That will give you more power but you'll be spinning higher RPM's down the highway which will make your gas mileage suffer more.
As far as the body roll, the only thing that will help it is a stiffer sway bar. You can buy them for the H2, I considered it with mine but it must have "settled in" as Ken says cause it stopped bothering me, I assume it got better without me actually realizing it.

Default Re: lifted h2 with roll.....

Ken is correct. Let rig settle some first and it applies to any rig lifted. The next thing I would do and most likely anyway would be to go with larger diameter sway bars and see how it handles. That is there main function anyway.

Good Luck!! You are getting some sound advice on the forum.

Wish i could be on and offer more help. Health issues keep me from doing allot of things these days that i would like. Hope to get back on more and bug everyone again.
