The Rancho kit requires you to hack up the front diff and a couple other things. Bulletproof is a full bolt on kit and completely reversible.


I was going to go with the bulletproof kit but honestly I think 6" is just too much. I plan on eventually going with different keys and spacers in the rear for 2-3"

Going really high is just for show, so it depends on what you want to do with your H2. For offroading, you want the biggest tires with the smallest lift, and not be scared to cut&trim

Great point, H1's are one of the most mobile vehicles ever created and they don't require 6" lifts to get where they need to go!

Agreed, unless you are building a deep mud/water rig or something. Personally, if I ever go for a lift I'll be looking for something in the 4" range but I'd be more likely to go with fender flares and cutting.

If done right. 6" lifts are for more than "just for show".
6" Ranchos with 41" tires.

I went for the 4'' Rancho with the shock absorbers. It's compatible with the air suspension (08 model).
The look is impressive and the 9 flexibility positions give you a wide choice to adapt between offroad - onroad driving.

Those look really good. They also fit my "smallest lift needed to fit the tire size you want" idea. I don't think a 6" lift falls into the "really high just for show" category, although I'm sure some people do add a 6" lift and don't wheel.

Nice rig!



That's cool too, but you definitely need bigger tires to fill your wheel wells.

yes I need to replace the tires by bigger ones. But I don't want to replace my stock 20'' rims. What kind of tires would be best knowing I drive only in sand?
Thanks
