Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

Bump stops, who needs em!

New torsion keys(Supreme) shock extenders(Supreme) coil spacers(Supreme) shocks(Pro Comp) offset UCAs(Moog) adjustable rear Panhard bar(Supreme) all four inner and outer tie rods(Moog) the tie rods and panhard bar were not installed by this shop, I took it to a different shop after the fact and had those put on.

The shop that put the lift on told me afterwards, and this is in their exact words not mine, "we had to cut off the bump stops because the control arms wouldn't fit, it's no big deal, all they do is stop the wheels from drooping too far down when you lift it up on a jack to work on it..." I did not notice the chunk of the frame at the very end by the sway bar link end on the driver side that they cut out until a few days ago, now I know that's not going to really affect it much but it looks like s*** and it's right there completely visible and it was totally unnecessary from what I can see...
When they got to the ucas and realized that they weren't going to fit they should have called me and told me that instead of just hacking off part of my truck, I would have gladly went and purchased extended control arms instead of offset control arms but I guess they were in a hurry and didn't want to wait around for different ucas, it's complete and utter b******* and I'm like really pissed the more I think about it and talk about it and type about it....my H2 is junk now.😭😠😡🤬🤬🤬

So what can be done to fix this or is there no fixing it? I can't just let it go, I basically paid $700 for them to hack up my frame and kill my front suspension. I'm pretty sure there's laws against this type of stuff. What would any of you do in the same situation?(Yeah, I know, you wouldn't be in this type of situation, but I am and I'm asking for help..)

It will not be cheap to fix that hack job, to restore to original safe driving condition! Contact an attorney! or wait?

Negligence

If you are hurt by someone, either by what they did or failed to do, you may need to sue for your damages. You should be suing the person or company who hurt you for negligence.

Why wait? Lol! I have an appointment with an ASE Certified master technician to inspect my Hummer and then I should.have a clear picture of how to move forward with this. Thanks!

Only feasible repair i see is leveling the cut areas ao they can be weld plated over them adding suspension limit straps to limit the droop. Also i am noticing the the rear sway bar did not get extended links and is at a pretty steep angle

I went to the shop today and talked about it to them and even tho they continue to insist that the stops serve absolutely zero purpose besides limiting droop when jacked up on a hydraulic lift for service, they did say they would weld a little plate over it for me if I really wanted them to but to do that I have to buy different control arms since I did not buy the extended, I bought adjustable offset control arms, thanks for the suggestion!

Also, the links, yeah I can't find them..
. Well, I found them, but they were not in stock and I haven't seen anything since that was earlier today, but do you see where they cut the frame near the link on the driver's side?

So they replaced your two in two out muffler with a one in two out and just capped one pipe on the Y..... wtf??? That is likely causing all sorts of odd turbulence and bursts of backpressure.
