Leveling Kit - 4/12/2007 12:13:26 AM

Just FYI...I had Readlifts leveling kit put on last friday, it definetly leveled it out. However yesterday I noticed when I went over speed bumps I would hear a loud clank noise. It happens when I am going down the bump. What it seems like is that when the suspension expands it relieves pressure on the torsion bar which is makeing the new torsion key lift up and then slap down on the crossmember...thats my theory any way. I want to lower the front about half an inch so the front doesnt "look" higher than the back, the fender heights are the same but the larger gap in the front wheel well makes the front look higher. I had it installed at 4 wheel parts... I'm thinking once I get the front lowered a bit that will relieve some of the load on the torsion bar so the keys wont lift up and slap the crossmember when I do crazy things like drive over speed bumps. I am in no way an expert on this sort of thing...But my main question now is should the keys normally rest on the crossmember and at least have the potential to lift off and slap back down...or is something else going on?????

I just had the same ones put on mine and they work better than the Truxxx ones that I just had removed. The kit specifies level, so you should have the front lowered so that it is the same height as the back. Hopefullt that will alleviate your noise issues.

If you dont mind...I was wondering how high the front end of your H3 is, we have the same kit so I was wondering if there was any difference since you say you dont have any noises.
