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.

Roger that. I’ll also test them in the 15-20”s of snow I’m going to get this weekend in Oklahoma of all places 😂

So finally got around to installing the new coil spring insulators for the top. So before the pass. side had slipped off center because I didn't have them, just a flat rubber washer. Well when I left it back down I got the pass side dead center but the right one slipped off and I didn't notice until I had it all back down. So hot outside and tired of messing with it just left it for now. It looks like it isn't quite touching the cylinder sleeve though so not as bad as before.

After testing it out on some uneven terrain, it's not rubbing at least. So I will leave it for now, but at some point, I'll jack it back up and try to get it dead center. I was reading a couple threads back, yes with the wheels off the ground the springs are loose, that's how I got them in, I did not use a spring compressor. Otherwise I never would have got them in, unless that's with shocks and rear sway bar end links still attached, then it wouldn't uncompress. For airbags you don't have to jack it up that much, for springs I think mine were like 19" long uncompressed, has to go way up to heck and gone before they'll go in, like 20-22 inches from axle to top of cylinder.

I'll have to jack it back up and try to get the left one closer to center, but going to wait for cooler weather.

Default Springs

The drivers side spring did the exact same thing. I have the Fabtech 6 inch lift and the drivers side spring is constantly moving to one side.
