hey just got a leveling kit for my buddies h3 gonna put it on this week. i have lifted a bunch of trucks so no big deal, and have done torsion keys on my 2500hd. i just was wondering if anyone knew a website that has instructions pics cause the kit didn't come with them. or if anyone on here has done one and has pics of it. thanks

 

Most poeple here just cranked their torsion bars to level their H3's. there are a few that bought aftermarket kits. you can use the search feature to find the Threads and possibly PM those members.

 

INSTRUCTIONS for leveling an H3:

Put the "leveling kit" keys on a desk to hold down paper in the breeze.

Turn the factory 1 1/16" T Bar Adjusting bolts until level, do not exceed 24.5" from center of the hub to fender. Drive around the block and recheck your measurement, adjust if necessary.

Admire work, have beer.

 

i work for a tire distributor and have a ton of customers that lift trucks and have custom four wheel drive shops they say not to crank them puts more stress on front end. so goin with the leveling kit, and he does a ton off-roading so don't need the extra stress

 

Either way, don't "forget" to have front end aligned!

 

ya thanks i have done enough to know that but appreciate there is probably a lot of people out there that don't. just got done a couple months ago lifted my 2500hd turned out pretty good.

 

Must have less than intelligent customers, or at least those unfamiliar with the H3? Why don't you explain the difference that using a "levelling kit" re-indexed key does when compared to turning the stock key in the exact same position to rotate the T Bars to lift the front of an H3 to the same height?

The T bars have to be in the exact same rotated position to accomplish the same lift. Stress actually goes down. This topic has been brutally beaten to death over and over, yet the misinformed still come up with the "turning the stock T Bar Adjusting bolt places stress on the suspension and makes the ride stiffer'. Utterly amazing!!

BTW: a three is not like other trucks that do need re-indext T Bar keys, the stock keys will get you all the lift you can add without relocating the A arms.
