Not to be a wiseass Mark, but if mine settles after a while, I'll crank it some more to get it back to where I want it. Why should I care how many turns it is from stock. I'm never going back to stock.

Everyone that I know that leveled had a different number of turns. Some went only 2 or 3 to get 23 1/2". Others went as many as 7 or 8 turns and never were the turns equal on both sides. I kept track by counting the number of 1/4 turns of my rachet and I figure I have about 6 on the pass. side and 5 on the drivers.

I blew it. Didnt count the turns. I just measured the distance from center of hub to fender lip before cranking. I thought that I could just crank it down until I was back to the original measurement if I wanted to go back to stock.

What do I tell the shop when I have aligned?

Dont know if it matters, maybe you can find some one with a non leveled H3 and get the measurement at stock Height for a ref. if you ever need to return to stock height. Thats why i counted and recorded the turns. also i measure from the ground to the fender opening. at full level 24" i measure 40" from the ground to fender lip. when you get yours aligned, just tell them you adjusted the T-Bars to level the front. They will align to the height you are at, nothing to worry about.

I didn't write down how many turns either. Mine took like 10 cranks per side lol. But if I were to for SOME reason drop it back to stock, I'd just measure it now, and knock about 2" off.
