I have! All I see is stock, 4 inch lift, and 5-7. I think... but that is for r9000xl. Which I would like as they are adjustable

I have the same problem. I just put on 37" inch Nitto terra grapples and I have some rubbing. So I want to do a leveling kit with new shocks. Which ones do I get?

skyjacker makes shocks too. but rancho has a kit just for leveled hummers. now if your wanting adjustable...i cant help you there. why do you want an adjustable shock on a levelled hummer?

it would be nice to be able to dial in what i want, may just go with 500's but it im ever towing something tightening the rear shocks would be nice!

death, i am leveled, i bought a cheap kit off ebay with new keys and new shock brackets, there have been on over a year and are holding up just fine, if you just want to get rid of the scrub try cranking the t-bars. if that doesnt get rid of it all then go to new keys to gain a little extra height. but mine rides like pure poop now! it is soft. but body roll if crazy in turns!

sounds like what you need is some sway bars.

Look into the Cognito GM 8-Lug Upper Control Arm Kit (UCAK100001): http://dmaxstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=274_158_159&products_id=324

Couple that with the Bilstein/Cognito Front Shock (BILSTEIN-BE5-E381-T0) and you'll get a nice ride that won't be compromised if you crank the torsion bars a bit.

i was paying attention to it today... its not as bad as i think, my steering though is wandering and a little hard to control... plan on a pitman idler support, and new tie rods. maybe new torsion bars cause mine a a tad worn out... we will see
