LIFTED HUMMERS THREAD!!

[H2Much]

Nope, still on the skyjacker. They used some rancho parts to accomodate the lift to my vehicle, but I'm still on the 5-1/2".

Really wish I went with the 6" though, seen a lot of them and they just seem like they look so much better.

I parked next to a H2 with a Febtech lift when I was just on my Rancho and we were level. Granted I don't have a spare tire on the back so my torsions were probably cranked a lil more to level it then a SUV or SUT with a spare...

When you guys say ranchos what are you talking about? A kit or rancho shocks?

When you did that, did you have your bodylift installed?

Speaking of body lifts, did you install it or have the company that made them for you install it?

I’m going to be ready for new tires soon and 40’s would be a perfect fit. I have 37’s or 38’s on there now and I could probably go another 1-2” more. I’d say 39’s (if there was such a thing) would be perfect.

Lemme know...

@ Mark

Before my body lift.


The 40's fit with my Rancho kit and Truxxx leveling kit and rear spacer. I run 24x12 Rockstars and they rubbed turning. I didn't want to trim in fear of hacking up the wells, I ended up trimming just 2" off the bottom. If you do run the keys I would highly recommend the Cognito upper A arms, (which you already have) to make it easier to align and correct the angles. If memory serves me correctly Mark you are running a 20x10 XD wheel. I think your rubbing would be very minor if you went 40's (with the Truxxx keys and spacers). I remember you upgraded from the 35" Mickey Thompsons to 37" Toyos. I just like a lot of wheel well gap so it doesn't look stuffed, so I did the 2" BL and have articulation room when pulling up an incline while turning since I run such a wide wheel.

I had Rides of Conover NC to it. Speak to Brandon if you want it done, they said they wouldn't bother buying a complete 03-05' 2500 HD kit since most of the kit is not used. Just buy the pucks and bolts. The steering extension that came with my kit was installed, but they said wasn't necessary on a 2" BL. The rear hitch and bumper assembly was raised with 2" stock, I played with it to make it perfect, but they did a great job overall.

40's before body lift.




40's after body lift.

I LOVE the stance of your truck. The gapping and spacing is perfect. Since power isn't an issue for me, I'm not worried about a taller tire an having less gear ratio. (of course, 4.56 gears don't hurt either...lol)

I'll be picking your brain soon enough, I'll give Brandon a call.

Yea like I said, they fit with the Rancho and Truxxx kit, but the spacing from the top of the tire and fender flare looked stuffed to me. Feel free to give me a call with any questions Mark.

Not only hours of headaches but thousands of dollars of wasted money.

....cause we've all wasted a bunch of money trying different stuff only to find out it didnt fit or look as good as we thought it would, right???

Right?
