Sorry, but when I got serious about wheeling I sold my H1s. Not a bash just the truth. However I do like the H3s.

If he's talking about lifting it, it's not an H1, that's fo' sho'.
actually I am not intersted in lifting, as I am about learning about the different types of shocks and wheels/tires other Hummer owners have used and liked. We have an H2, but I was trying to find out if there are other H2 guys on here...versus just looking over the various Hummer forums. NC is local to me, so figured I would start here. I do plan on finding a workable H1 in the future, just not now.... Not everyone likes Hummers, and I don't have a problem with that 
And as mentioned, I could care less about bling crap or "fo' sho'".... I don't even like the chrome wheels, door handles, or grill........I wanted black, but that was not an option

Well good for ya bro, love to see some H2s getting dirty! I cannot tell you how close I got to pulling the trigger and getting a used H2 for light wheeling and towing my camper.
I would suspect that for lifting purposes, you will be looking at the same things that go on Tahoes, since your suspension is nearly (if not 100%) identical. Most of us on here won't know much about lifting them specifically but can answer generic questions.
Lil' bling won't kill ya, first thing I would do is put on rockrails, black would make more sense so you do not mess them up, but make sure they are STRONG and not really thin/dentable "steps"
I believe you can get a winch that bolts in there, that would actually be my #1/2 recommendation along with the rockrails.
Then...I wouldn't lift it at ALL...I would trade tires and put on there either BFG M/Ts or Goodyear MTRs or similar. This will get you start on a decent road tire and light duty trail tire.
I "think" you probably have a rear locking diff, if so you are now set to wheel probably anything you would really want to anyway.
I hit URE a few weeks back in a stock Wrangler with 225/75 tires, but I do have a locker in rear axle. That allowed me to crawl everything I attempted, and avoid the harder /taller stuff I would have gotten hung on.
Welcome, enjoy....
