I have 2003 Hummer H2 with rear air suspension and I want to lift it
something like this....Really like how it looks

...

:http://www.trailduty.com/products/rancho/lift.html

I donīt know much about H2 suspension so can I install this kit without losing my factory air suspension? Is it necessary to install ranchos 9000X shocks front and rear if I put new shocks(rear) can I still use my factory air suspension? or how about steering stabilizer what does it do ??
Will 40x13.5R17 Goodyear tires fit with this set?

Thanks

Mike

Mike, read some of the previous posts about lifts. There is really good information in there. Yes, the lift works with factory air suspension. No 40"s don't fit very well with a 4" lift.

No it is not me in that picture just found it from member photos..
I did search many times I know that 40" tires will not fit very well, but it is possible to make them fit..
I am still wondering should I use 9000X shocks instead of stock shocks or should I also buy steering stabilizer or not..

no thats like a 6" lift in the pic. I know I had 37"s on mine stock and I could have fit a lot bigger stock. my friend has a 4" with 40's and when he turns all the way they rub if you hit a bump when turning.
