Today I started the install on the H2 It was a long day but I got the front done. I will finish the rear tommarrow and let you all know how it went Here is a pic of the kit.

What shocks are you using?

Also, what is CST? Have not heard about them but I like the kit----did you have to do any cutting?

Shock are made for this kit for the H2 They are CST Shock
Yes Had to cut off the stock bump stop mounts

Thanks for the info----it is a kit to consider since it has true control arm drops and does not appear to spread the upper and lower control arms. I also like the heim joints. More guys on here should use heim joints since they break tie rods off road.

I went with the FTS 6.5 lift and it really does ride like stock--they do the same thing. I went with King Off Road shocks, more for show than anything else. It gives the lift a real beefy look.

On my next lift, I will go with other, less expensive shocks.

H2 How do you like the Magnacharger any problems ? Do you have a pic of your ride I would like to see it Thanks

This is what mine looks like

[HGW]

Looks good so far----I do not know how to link to a previous post but if you go to the photo section and scroll down to "Weld Cheyennes on 38 X 15.5 X 18" you will see numerous pics of my Yelllow H2.

The Magneson is fantastic---I will post pics once I get a chance.

Looks good--when you get a chance, I'd like to see a pic on the steering system up real close---that has been a problem on some lift like this---looks like they did a good engineering job on it.

Also---did you get rear brackets to lower your trailing arms--it looks like it but I can't see it in the pics with the tires on.

I would also like to see the shocks when you get them on.

Thanks

Looks nice. How do you like it? Is the CST kit a solid kit? How does it handle and drive?

Send more pics if you have them.

Thanks

[So Cal H2]

H2 I will get a pic of the steering for you. Trailing arms are in the stock location.
Here is a pic of the shocks.

Tbone So far I really like the kit. Yes it is solid and it rides and handles better than stock I will get more pics later.

Thanks for the pics--I thought they would leave the trailing arms in the stock location.

The shocks look good!

Well done So Cal! Very Nice, I did not think I would want to go with that big of a lift on mine but seeing your set up makes me think twice.

Thanks for the complements I like the way the lift came out it sits level not too high no drive line vibration no wheel rubbing on full turns and handles great. My only complaint would be the loss of power with the 38" tires but that can be fixed

[HGW]

The loss of power is definately noticable with 38's. I have a Magneson on mine and notice too much of a drop during 6000 RPM manual shifts between gears.

4.56's will solve the problem easily. Now that you have the cage underneath, you will need to drop it again to remove the front diff.

I still need to see the front steering system when you get a chance to take them.

So Cal H2, Thats looks great - I love those wheels!
