Almost all of them are .5 - 1.5" low up front on the driver side. All it takes is a Torsion Bar adjustment, a11/16" size Bolt to tighten. Measure both sides, and adjust the low side upto even. Search for more info. Here is athread linkwhere Ihooked up a bunch of reading.

RE: Want to raise the H3
Now, I have verified that the whole LH side is lower than the RH side. So, I assume if I crank it up a little bit the LF will come up the same as the RF and then the whole left side will be adjusted?
Thanks, this is the best help I've found everywhere.

Suspension Problem?
Before I posted this in the forums... I figured there's already probably enough smart people about this vehicle here to answer my question.
I was Zaino'ing the H3 today... , etc... my driveway kind of goes a little on a slope into my garage. I was walking from the street up to the garage and I noticed it looked like the drivers side was sitting a little lower on the LH side.
A few minutes ago I confirmed this with the tape measure. I understand I can adjust the torsion bars back there. Maybe I can adjust the torsion bar to fix it? It doesn't appear the shock is broken.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you are off when checking the rear, there is an issue with the rear leaf springs sagging to the left. If the measurement from the rear left is lower than the rear right, (shouldn't be more than 5/16"). you may havethis problem also. It's a simple fix. Just loosen the leaf spring shackle nuts, then shake the crap out of the rear, jump on the bumper a few times, maybe drive around the block, then tighten the nuts to 63 ft/lbs.

RE: New H3 Owner
Ok, so for the H3 torsion bar adjustment, do you need a 1 1/16 socket or a 7/8 socket? HELP lol.
