9.5" is a lot of lift. I have not lifted a truck before but that seems like too much.

9.5 inch lift seems really high but I have seen 20 inch lifts before

but it would be fun to watch it offroad . . . . until it fell over . . . . .

That's true...height give a car a certain advantage but get out of a range of 2 or 4 more inches and it will suck on the trails

we've had more issues with the lifted H2s on most of our runs than we have with the stock ones.  the additional brackets hanging down under the frame end up getting hung up more often since they're at the same level as the original frame members.  also seen the lifted H2s have more problems in snow than stock.  but, i doubt a 9" lift for an H2 is meant to be taken offroad, so it's probably not an issue - unless the mall has some really big speedbumps.
