If all the difference you cant decide on is 1/2" then flip a coin for it and be done with it. Then get to ordering parts and installing. Dont forget the alignment afterwards.

Thumbs up

Glad I went with the 2" spacers on mine. The slightly heavier diesels might be better with 2.5". Definitely settles out after a couple days. It was nose high at first so give it some time after an install before you decide whether you like it.

Oh yeah, I went with Hell Bent Steel. They took a $60 offer on Ebay with free shipping. That's as cheap as I could find them and they seem to be good quality. Pretty thick steel and powder coated. First throw away the instructions and do one side at a time. After I was done with the first side, I blocked under the tire on that side with 2 2x4s and then that will let the other side drop to the ground after you disconnect the sway bar link. Almost didn't even need a spring compressor on the second side with this method. Well that's how to do it if your in your driveway and only using the spare tire jack.

Tires are 315s so a litte over 34" tall and plenty of clearance with the 2" level. After selling all the extra stuff, I will only have about $700 total in everything including the level, machining, mounting, balancing and an alignment. I think I will figure it all up and post it in the H2 wheel swap thread. Really cheap upgrade compared to new tires and wheels which would have been closer to $2000 to do all five.
