I have been runnin the black powdercoated h2's for about a year now. I just put caps on two days ago. To be honest i liked it better without the caps. MOre rugged looking................

Thinking that is how I will leave mine. I do need to touch up the paint on the hubs. That and powder coat the nuts again, well the second set.

WOW WOW AWESOME What size lift? do the tires rub at all?

Lorenz Suspension, 3" IR Coils, SwayAway 2.5" shocks

As for rub, I get a little fender contact on the passenger lower fender. The contact is only with 3/4 of a turn and hitting bumps. Think that may be a bit of a alignment issue. No contact on the drivers side, the passenger looks like it is set back a bit. Either way I plan on making some room on both sides for the tires. It has been to hot to be outside and put the suspension through its paces. I plan on cycling the suspension through the entire arc and turning radius and adjust the lower fender corner to make enough room. Thinking it is just a 1/2" adjustment, the lower fender should be able to take it. Just a little nudge.

The tires also hit the control arms at full lock. I will just limit the steering. I may also get my H2 wheels done and see how that changes the control arm contact. I should do them any way, get them powdercoated with the rear bumper.

Thanks for all the nice coomplements.

I love the blacked out look! How much did it run you to have the wheels powdercoated? Sweet Rig!

Scoutman, I had mine done too. Locally, I paid $80 to have all 4 wheels sandblasted and $100 to have them powdercoated black. Also, I spent another $48 having the tires swapped over to the powdercoated wheels and rebalanced/mounted etc. Pretty reasonable imo.

my wheels were a bit less than that, but in the range. 200-250 for the project.

I bought a second set of wheels to keep the truck on the road during the powdercoating time.

One think I learned you need to remove the powdercoating on the hub mouting area. It is a tight fit and the powder can shrink a already tight gap. I need to pull mine to do that some more. I dont want to be stuck taking them off and have them painted together. I will also remove the paint from the lug nut seats (lack of a better term) to get better contact. Also to not chip and remove the powder...

Thanks

So in all a 5.5 lift? thanks confused i didnt think shocks added ground clearenec

4x4not

He has a 3" lift. The 2.5" shocks are just 2.5" longer than stock. The coils are the only thing that give it lift.

nriver

Correct, 4x4not

2.5" diamater shocks

Mav

k thanks whered ya get the coils?

nriver

Just re-read 4x4nots post. The shocks are a 10" travel 2.5" Diamater Remote Reservoir shocks. They are a bit longer than stock. I dont recall if they are 2.5" longer. But any way.

The suspenion is from Lorenz. He has a few options on suspensions now.
