I'm thinking about getting a 2-3" leveling kit for my H2. What is the best one out there? I was looking at UCAs and what one is better Cognito or Kryptonite? While I'm at it I will also replace the Tie Rods is Kryptonite the best? Is there anything else I should replace while I'm at it and if so what one is the best? I'm a total newb so thanks for breaking it down for me.

The best is a matter of perception, I don't think you can go wrong with the cognito or the kryptonite UCAs. They are both great products. Same goes with the tie-rods, I have the Kryptonite setup with the beefier centerlink. I have a 2" leveling kit from supreme suspensions with keys and coil spacers. It was a decent kit that has held up well for me, so far.

The h2 factory steering components suck balls for offroading. The centerlink all rotate under stress and cause premature wear and failure of the pitman and idler, and the rem tie rods are ridiculously small and will bend under the slightest stress. My pitman idler needed replacement so it was an easy decision to go ahead with the Kryptonite Steering setup while I had everything apart.

On some of the above parts it doesn't say it will work with the H2 but do you think it will? Should I buy longer shocks or use the shock brackets in the leveling kit?

Thanks for the help.
