Bone stock for now.. Hey Wiggs, what percentage tint did you use? It appears to match well.

mkivbren- 20%. It does turn out nicely and almost matches the factory which is typically 17%. Thanks fo rthe kind words.

MedicShawn- what grille do you have one there ? Is it the stock on painted or aftermarket? I really like the black on black!

Thanks Medic, The 315's look great, I have been debating about chaning to a 315 or 325, and i felt that the 325 was too large, but when i saw yours i said-thats it. what about the H2 rims?? Is there alot of guys looking for them? We have a military base 20 miles from here and they run the H2 wheels exclusively so we have a dealer here that has hundreds of them, both new and used. Before this thread, i didnt notice how many guys were running them. Give me your thoughts please.

How do you like your KOre kit? how does it ride? compared to stock

How do you lik eyour Hankooks I really like the looks of that tire and the price is tough to beat. Are they Noisy? Do they ride good wear good?

Thanks in advance.

+1 for the H2 rims I think they give off the perfect stance as far as width offset backspace etc and even at stock heighth a tough stance.

I absolutely love the KORE. In fact i am so pleased with it that I have ordered the CHASE and will replace the HD levelling kit. It dramatically changed the ride and control in the front end, but now the rear seems real sloppy and while i have control in the front the rear end is always hangin out where it shouldnt be. CHASE should be in about a week or two from today. The Hankooks have been great based on the price. I have notoriously worn tires out in 30,000km, and my dealer conviinced me to try these. He gauranteed in writing that if they were down to 15% by 45,000km he would replace at no charge. I couldnt lose. I havent run the Toyo m/t but a buddy has them and they seem quieter but with my stock exhaust i can definately hear them, but i would not consider them loud. Recently on the ice, they suck, but so did my wifes mini-van with snow tires. I am having them siped.

The best advice on the H2 rims is find someone who has taken them off their expensive hummer and doesn't care about getting rid of them cheap. I bought 2 sets on ebay for less than 500 each. The tires alone new are 225 each. If you have a Hummer dealer near you look there also. You do have to open up the center holes to fit on the dodges and trim the factory center caps. I think the actual military hummers are running 16 or 16.5 inch rims (which won't work on our trucks due to caliper clearance).

These guys are runnin actual H2 rims as they are puttin them on chev trucks. They claim that they are the strongest wheel on the market. These come in from the actual manufacturer that makes them for the H2. These are the real things, and the guy claims that i can buy as many as i want for 125-150 each. this just sounded way too low, but last year they bought over 2500 of them and they get huge discounts. maybe i should start a business here!!

The h2's are definately quality. When i took mine to the machine shop, the guy said they were some of the strongest, most well made, truest wheels he's ever seen.
