Arrow Re: 2 Inch Lift on H2.

What are the Bilstein part numbers for an H2 with 2 - 3 inch lift? What about the Bilstein part numbers for a 2500HD shock to fit the H2 with a 2 - 3 inch lift?

You have two choices:

Bilstein F4-BE5-6243-H5
12" compressed, 19" extended, 7" travel,
It is 389/94 valving which is pretty firm.

Bilstein BE5-6140-T5
11.77" compressed, 18.42" extended, 6.65" travel.
It's valved at 366/240which is very similar rebound, but much firmer compression giving a much firmer ride. Both shocks will work, one will be firm and the other will be really firm.

UPDATE:

I just had the Cognito 2-3" lift put on the H2. It is a fantastic kit and installation was easy.

Before my rear end was obviously higher than my front, just like every other stock H2. Now, my rear is still at 42" (bottom of fender to ground) and my front end is 43 1/2". Thus, this kit easily gave me 2" of lift if not more.

DUCK

Did my lift yesterday acutally. I made spacers for the rear airide springs. Then did the Green Keys for the front. The end result of my lift was about
1-1/4" of lift in the front. and about 2-1/2" in the rear. I also have 37" tires so the truck is rideing 2-2 1/2" hirer than stock. Over all it looks really good. With me only going a little 1-1/4" inches hirer in the front I did not do new shcoks. However..... When I do get new the full cognito set up I will go further up
