Adjusted my torsion bars
That was one of the easiest adjustments that I had to do.....had to go get a 1 1/16" socket to fit the torsion bar bolt, but other than that, it was easy. I had been noticing that my H3 sat a little crooked....I kept saying NAH!
Finally got out the measuring tape, and it was almost 1" higher on the passenger's side. I lowered the passenger's side down, and then raised the driver's side just a tad. Now it's perfect! The front should get the same measurements on both sides and the driver's side rear will be about 1/4" down from the passenger's side, due to the gas tank, and how much gas you have in there.......
Alignment seems to be fine, but if something funny happens to my tires, I marked the bolts, so that it can be returned to the original specs.

Rich, yeah I did......It seems good now, but I will keep checking for the next week or so. The only other thing I noticed was that the passenger's side bolt was really easy to move, while the driver's side you needed to put a little muscle into it...Is this normal?

that's the same way I did it Solar, thinking maybe it was harder on one side than the other because you cranked up one side first (probably the easy side) then all the weight was leaning on the other. Does that make sense?

Just a guess but I think the passenger side was easier because you were lowering it, so the weight of the vehicle made it easy. nice ride!
