Leveling an H3

Turning the T Bar bolts takes a little mustard, especially if your vehicle has seen annual road salt. If your guy at the local shop is a 90# weakling, his answer would be like what you got, "they must be all the way cuz they are impolite and won't turn when I ask them to."
I have never jacked the front wheels off the ground doing mine or helping others. I do use a 1/2" extended socket wrench (probably about 16-18" long) for leverage, and then apply plenty of mustard with elbow grease. I am a helluva lot meaner than any two measly bolts.
In fairness, over years T Bars will settle some. If you bought yours used, and the guy before you had a massive winch bumper with a snow plow (sarcasm), your T Bars may have faded.

Yes he did do it while it was on the ground! I told him to raise it up and he said that wouldn't make a difference. When he looked at it at first he said it can't go up there's no more thread on the screw to go in!! The shops I've called say they only do it with lift kit. $500+

That's how the bolt always looks. The head doesn't go in or out. Turning it changes the key location. It's the key that moves up or down and twists the torsion bar.
