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.

Default Lift kits

Hey guys! I'm a proud owner of a 2006 hummer h2 sut. I'm the only owner. I've been wanting to lift it badly. I've narrowed it down to the 4 inch rancho and the 3 inch fron and rear lifts. I know rancho is a great product, but don't know much about the smaller 3 inch ones, including ready lift and supreme suspensions. Please give me your thoughts.

I've been thinking about the 3" keys and rear spacers. Would love to hear some opinions on this.

My goal is to fit 40s, but in the best way possible. No rubbing, nice ride.

I have 3 inch spacers and keys, and I am running 38x15.5
It will take ALOT to get the 38s not to rub. and you can see how they fill in the wheel well

You will not get 40s on there properly without a 6 inch lift I would say. Unless you do the 4 inch and a body lift

Thats my next move.
6 inch lift and 40s-44s

Alright thanks jsbihn. I'm leaning towards rancho, because it might have a slight chance of fitting in the garage

With anything on your roof I doubt you'll fit in the garage with the rancho lift.


Also the rancho lift requires you to hack up your front diff-reason I never went with it. Bulletproof suspension was the only fully reversible lift for the H2s.

Listen to LoJac.
This guy is smart!
And have done alot to his truck...
Plus I was about to say the same thing.

I don't think my truck with a 3 inch lift, and roughly 1.5-2 inches in ride height because of the 38s... it will not fit in the garage.

LOL thanks js!


I guess I recommend Bulletproof. However, I do not have any type of lift installed on my rig. I just thoroughly researched all the name brand kits on the market a few years back and Bulletproof was the only kit with a direct install and completely reversible. Meaning, unlike the Rancho kit you're not hacking up your front diff and I believe the front of the frame rails as well.


I do plan on just doing keys and spacers to level her out and add a few inches in height. I'll still be able to fit in my garage but that will be maxed out. I'll only have maybe 1" if I'm lucky between the top of my roof rack and the stucco of the garage opening.
