Body clearance or differential ground clearance?? <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... adbang.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':headbang:' />

Diff. clearance, body clearnce doesn't have much to do with tire size.

Actually it does!



My H2 sits on 37s and I have 24" of clearance to the body. I have 14" of clearance under the front diff and 11" under the rear diff.



You would probably need 44s to get 18" of clearance under the rear diff!!

There really is no "probabaly" in that answer. It's simple math. If we assume your 37" tires are true measure and you only have 11" diff. clearance, that would mean your diff. cost you 7.5". 37/2 = 18.5 - 7.5 = 11 . So to get 18" diff. clearance you would need (7.5 + 18) X 2 = 51 , 51" tall tires. My point was that an H1 can achieve 18" diff. clearance on 39.5" tires. Just another comparison.
