I don't want to use the power pulled wheels because they are too fat and

think I'll be able to settle for a minimum of 2" in clearance.  The
suspension on the 8466 4x4 off roader looks interesting but I really don't
want to buy a $100+ set just for the suspension.

No, buy it for the tires! ;-)

The other suspensions that you showed me that you built look a little flimsy
for a big Hummer.

FLIMSY?!

I have faith in this one:

I pounded it up and down with my fist and the suspension held up fine. With
enough shock absorbers, it would definitely support a model the size of a
big super car.
