the Procomps are bad *** 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...[sm=smokin.gif]
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:

Shortbus drives a H2. That's why his under carraige looks slightly different.

And since it is Shorty's, that's why it's soooo dirty and the orange stuff is rust[sm=exactly.gif]

Yes..the one that seems to go through the crossmember, outboard of the rear end of the torsion bar...Yup, that's the one.

Hey Hummerforums:

Okay I did the tbar adjustment and you guys may not be able to tell in these pics but I can definitely tell just looking at it driving it!!
