would like to know what it would take to clear 37 hummer h1 wheels? it will help get my rpm down for when i do my diesel swap on my k30 to a detroit 6v53. thaks, mike

Probably a 6 to 8 inch lift rpms depends your gear ratio with those tires.

86c20 · 03-04-2013, 04:06 PM

dam 6 to 8 i was hopeing for like 4 lol but it is needed for the 6v53 swap so might be ok

I clear 37x14.50s with a 6" bds with 1" zero rates up front. I wouldn't try it on a 4" lift unless you don't mind cutting fenders or body lift.

heres six inch with a zero rate moved 1.5 inch forward. lots of room. i also trimme the front fang off the fender.

and a crap load of room on stock wheels

obijuan · 03-04-2013, 09:13 PM

just six inch and 35s

same six inch and the zero rate 1.5" forward but with 37s

GHAH! How have I missed that K5? What is that fabulous looking front bumper that you have? Great looking K5.

lol thanks. it has no markings and no identifying things. it appears to have been made by ARB and has styling from that. supposedly from when they were called "aussie"?
no clue really. it came on my truck when i bought it and it is definitely well made and if it was one off it was by a very skilled person. 1-3/4 tubing bent up to press broke 1/4 plate bottom part. it is a winch bumper also under the plate.

i painted it black and put it on my dually a while back. when i sold the dually it was a deal breaker if the bumper didnt go with it.

on topic lol, this is 4 inch and zero rate with 36s

I thought hummer tires were 16.5?

obijuan · 03-04-2013, 11:06 PM

that is correct, they are.

andrewmp6 · 03-06-2013, 01:48 AM

4 inch lift might work if you use some cut out fender flares maybe.

86c20 · 03-06-2013, 11:12 AM

what do you mean 1.5 forward?? also this is not an off road truck building it to pull trailers and such

mattcrp1 · 03-06-2013, 12:31 PM

Are you going to run those military take off's? The 16.5" 37's? I had a set of those on my lifted ford and suprisingly they rode well and the wheel turned ok in the parking lot.
