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 Recommendations for Comfy Shock Replacement 2008

I'm looking to replace the shocks on the 4 corners of my 08 (the steering shock looks brand new, must have been replaced by the previous owner). I'm looking for any recommendations for the best ride quality. I know it's not a Cadillac, but I figure I'll at least get the best feeling ones I can while I go about this endeavor.

No rear air-life shocks. 24" rims and 37" tires (yes I know more sidewall = more comfort). Stock height and no plans to lift it (unless someone wants to raise my garage door for me as the roof lights already rub the weather stripping as I pull in/out).

I have fox 2.0 reservoir shocks. Held up well for the last 8 years and 100k. Really nice ride but pretty pricey.

I installed the Bilstein remote reservoir shocks (5160 Series) on my 08 and have been impressed with the ride over the stock shocks, to be fare my stock shocks had 150,000 miles.

I've raised my H2 about 2" and also have 37" tires, I kept the stock 20" wheels.

My install thread, https://www.hummerforums.com/forum/h...s-47848/page2/

As Gavin has commented about the Fox shocks the Bilstein's are pricy also,

At 60 K I went for Original GM HUMMER H2 Shocks all around. Feels like I'm back in 2009 with that new car smell. It's like riding in my Living room on the couch.
