Sam Cothrun - one of the co-drivers for Team Hummer has a fab shop, and has some Rod Hall edition Fox shocks -- may want to give them a look:

Don't forget to get your tires realigned after cranking your T-bars or your tires will wear on the outside

So what are you guys saying i should do. I have already cranked the T-bars 15 times on each side and im still not pleased with how high my ride sits. i took my nerf bars off but my father got mad and made me out them back, however it defiantly looked better with them off

The torsion bar adjustment was intended to raise the front end just enough to level the truck. Personally I’ve never heard of anyone turning the bolt 15 times! I turned mine 4 times and raised my front end one inch and then added the Bilstein Cognitos because they provide the extra length that is required instead of over-extending your OEM shocks. (thanks to okie for that info)

This will pretty much answer all your questions:

15 turns, "Wow"

Easy there, you should think about searching through this site and educating yourself on over turning those. Not trying to be harsh, but you'll have more to worry about then ride height if you leave them turned that much. Seems that 2-4 turns is what everyone is running, and I personally wouldn't go past 2.5 turns myself.

I run the Fox shocks up front and love them!

If you want that much height go get a lift kit. I think Rancho does a 4-6" kit which sounds like what you want.

Sounds awfully excessive. How is the ride?

I would not think you could turn it 15 full turns but I also haven't done it yet. 15 sounds like so far past excessive I am surprised you would still need a sunroof.

Not sure, but I think he is probably 12 years old, and has been screwing with his dad's ride. Otherwise the nerf bars would still be off. By the way, I haven't measured yet, but I don't think there is enough thread to turn 15 times.

Holy smokes, and I caught hell for turning 6 times.

REEF, you really need to get under there and make sure that you turning the right bolt as Forney said.
