The kits range from $75 to $300 dollars . With everything,you get what you pay for . The more expensive kits are better made . ( quality of the metal in the torsion keys).Also they will come with shock relocators.There are sponsors on here you can order from . Or you can order online from E-bay ..etc . The kits should allow you to be able to lift the front 1.25 to 3 inches . Remember even after you install the kit. There will still be minor torsion bar adjustments needed to have it level.99% of the time one side will be higher then the other . There is NO magic Wala !! It's leveled perfect . In my H3 i have a kit that included a rear 3/4 inch rear shackle set up . MY FRONT lift is 2.5 INCHS AND I STILL WANTED IT ABIT HIGHER . My front is at 24.25 now . The other guys on here know what i am talking about . Now you can also just crank you torsion bars to lift your rig . I am not up on the exact inches of the H2 ride height in the rear . I attached this link of a guy who lifted his by cranking his torsion bars . http://www.eeaston.com/2006/09/tighteni ... sion-bars/ You will need a alignment after . It also good to drive it for a few days first.Just in case one side settles and you have to adjust it again . Then do the alignment . Again i do not have a H2 and maybe the other H2 guys can way in . I know the factory rake is horrible ..Hope this helps .

In addition Rhino had his superlift leveling kit done by dealer as alignment was due for check so made job way easier than us doing it then getting alignment.
