I just found these with a quick search and they come from 1" to 3" thick in 1/2" increments. One of those is bound to be the right one to put the H2 wheels where you want them in the wheel well.

Not sure of the price of h2 wheels lately but last time i looked they were more then any of the wheels i listed and i really dont want a spacer. At over 100 bucks a pair it does not make sence. Thanks for the link tho.

If they are what you really want then it is worth a little extra to get it.

Found a few sets of H2 wheels for $550 / set.

You would have about $800 into the set with spacers. Not much out of the range of the other wheels you were looking at.

haha cheap is what i meant. dont know of any lifts for sale.

[85burb]

Got the ring and pinion in. Counted teeth and it is right. Cant wait to install it.

[MTCK]

Very cool. What ratio do you have now? You're just replacing the R&P and putting in the LSD right?

[85burb]

I have a 410 now. I figured i should repace the gears with the truetrac. Ya that is all i am replaceing for now. May get chromaley (sp) axle shafts one day.

[85burb]

No real updates but did take him off roading and fishing today with my brother. He tryed out his locker and new km2 tires and mostliky blew his motor up on way there. Good thing he has a engine being built. Mine ran great. Buddy has no trouble spinning all tires. I had both front tires and atleat one rear spinning. Not even half throttle. Kinda weak 4x4ing but was fun. We were going to go to gilmer soon but with his motor broken looks like it will be a while..

[85burb]

Not a hole lot going on. Had all the money to install my diff then my little girl had a absessed tooth.....so there went 1600 buck..... But i have half the money saved back up to install diff. I am doing a oil change on it sunday and i just figured i would check the plugs cause i will be getting some for wifes car to do sunday. Any ways my plugs look good.

Sorry to hear about your daughter.

Thanks. She is 4 so the teeth they pulled and capped were going to fall out anyway. She had 2 pulled and 4 capped. She is doing great. The people that did the work were great. She was put under for the hole thing. The only thing she remembers is someone poked her leg then we were home. She was quite crazy for a few hours after cause the drugs were wearing off. She was seeing double at one point. It was pretty funny. She loves her new shiny teeth. The bottom back ones have silver covers and the top front side ones have silver with white fronts. I am amazed that she has only complained about pain one time. Heck she was eating chips the night she had the work done. It is amazing how tuff she is sometimes.

[grayharville]

Good to hear that your kiddos alright. Have you ever been to barnwell? It looks fun but I wouldn't know

No i want to go but i think my bro blew up his motor so i dont know when i will get to go. I dont want go alone. Stuck burb with no help makes for a long day. I hope to get one of my buddys to go one day. A long time ago i tryed to get a few people together on here to go but no one wanted to. I hope to get my truetrac installed soon and after i get that i may push harder to get there.

[85burb]

So i have the date set up for the rear end install. I will drop it off sunday afternoon and he will do work on monday and i can pick it up monday night. I am supplying the gears, install kit, carrier and he is supplying the oil, wheel seals, and wheel bearings. He is charging me a tad more then 450. Is that a ok deal? It was 3 something tell he priced the wheelseals and bearings.

[MTCK]

Sounds good to me. I got quoted $1500 for front and rear r&p, I supply all parts including bearings, seals etc. I won't be using that shop...

[85burb]

Ok i dont feel bad then. I just want it to work and last a long time. I would maybe try the front my self but deff not the rear. It is used every time i turn burb on and go somewere. So i will be compleating the last one tire fire tomorrow to signify the end of his one legged ness. Cant wait to TEST the new one out....
