THANKS IN ADVANCE.

 

I would skip the lift kit dream for a DD, but it is your truck.

Wheels and lift kits are about the best way to **** away $ never to be recouped there is. If you're not gonna wheel it, are you really into the poser look?

For wheeling you need tire sidewall flex, so 35" tires with 17" wheels is about where function starts to fade. Big cha cha wheels are for street queens.

 

Agreed Doc. You need more rubber for off roading. Big wheels are a safety hazzard in my opinion also even on the road in an H3. Just a bad idea.

 

1. What is the height limit in most City Parking Garages?
2. I am driving 95% street but want the option to pull someone out in Beach Sand or Hurricane damages, being able to drive out.
3. Please Advise: Tires / Wheel / Lift Kit and or Shocks?
4. How will these modifications affect Gas Mileage and Wear / Tear?
5. Lifting vehicle seems like I would be safer. higher safer as long as I'm not speeding around tight corners.

WHEELS: Dick Cepek DC-2 or XD Rock Star?

sweet pics

 

That stupid center cap sticks out, you need to get shorter bolts and cut the legs on the back of the center cap so it's sits flush. My opinion and after I did that they looked so much nicer.

 

I don't understand you. Please be more specific. Why would you remove your larger wheels then change to smaller stock wheel. You make no sense at all. Don't even try and bull**** me, amigo.
