Default Tire/rim and train horn recommendations ??

I'm looking to get some black rims maybe rockstars, what is the largest tire and rims I can get without a lift.Maybe the leveling kit to bring up the front but thats it. I drive mostly in the city ( in New Jersey) but looking foward to some off-roading (nothing to crazy) !! And I'm looking to get the loudest air/trains horn available for around $500. What should I get? Thanks!!!

I too am looking for the loudest horn I can find. The OEM horn on the H2 sounds like it came off a Honda. It should have something as loud as the truck is large.

I would perfer an electric horn, since this would be much easier to install. Saw an article about someone finding a loud electric horn (135db?), but I do not recall where it was.

Maybe someone can help?

No, not a train horn. The sound of these will get you arrested or your H2 keyd. Neither is very much fun these days.....

If you google train horn kits you will find lots of options. I don't think you'll get keyed or arrested as long as you are carefull and responsible with it. I would leave your stock horn there, and put a separate button for the train horn to use when appropriate.

Go to www.hornblasters.com they have a bunch of different kits. I have installed 2 of them on my own vehicles, including my H2. They are around 150db.

Just be careful when using them. I usually won't use them while driving next to vehicles, because you can really freak someone out and cause an accident. Although I do use it if some jackoff does something stupid though. It's fun though scaring some people walking down the sidewalk or 30 people sitting at a bus stop.

Went to two different tires shops today. One place told me you can only fit 33's without lifting the other said 35s is the max.
On this forum everyone is saying 37x12.5 can be done... I personally would love to have 13.5 for the wide stout look..

Can owners chime in...
