it's possible they'll be different, yes. just make sure to measure at some point before you make any adjustments. adjust them both the same and then remeasure the same place. you may want to drive it a couple miles before you remeasure, let everything settle into place first. that will tell you if you need to make any further tweaks. i did mine in the driveway, which isn't level. i'd recommend doing it in a garage, that way you won't have any "terrain" inconsistencies.

head lights i am not worried heck i had a 12 inch lift on my king ranch super duty and 40 inch tires and never worried about the head lights.
You could consider the other folks who are 1) in front of you and 2) coming the other way...
I picked up my H3 last night....as soon as I get through some follow up stuff with the dealer, it be leveled using this method, and the Headlights will be adjusted. Headlight adjustments shouldn't be hard to do either. If you do it in the garage before you level it, just mark the wall where the center point of the beam hits...and then use the up/down adjuster afterwards to get it back close to where it was before you started.

the Procomps are bad ass but I think the Nittos are a little more streetable. I still have to daily drive my H3 so I'm trying to compromise a little.

Good excuse to go out and have a smoke...
Mucho grassyass..I think I seen what you're talking about..On the H3, the adjustment bolt (about a 7/8) is on the outboard side from the torsion bar..I guess..I see nothing inside of the frame towards the center of the underneath..
So, if I'm not mistaken..Jack up the front end so both tires are off the ground. Put a mark on the bolt to count 2.5 turns CW (each), this will give the front end a little lift to level it up with rear end..
IS it just me or does my underneath look different from this picture? I wanted to adjust my torsion bar but underneath my 2006 H3 doesn't look the same as the pic above. Can someone help me out and tell me where the hell do I make the adjustments? I linked some pictures:
