Anybody have pics of their h3 with torsion bar cranked about 2 to 3 inches with 315/75/16's or 325s???

 

I have pics in my signature of my STOCK 265's with a 23" t-bar crank, sitting next to the same EXACT truck with stock tbars and also with 265's. If I had 315's on my truck, the difference in my height compared to him would be significant. There was a thread on here a while back where a guy posted his cranked tbars/35" H3 side by side (looking at the grills) of a stock tbar/stock tired H3 and his truck looked HUGE compared to it. Maybe he'll repost that picture.

But click on the first link in my signature and look at the lower-left hand corner where there are 2 trucks side by side to see 2 totally stock trucks but the one has cranked tbars.

 

Yea that is definetly a completely significant difference there, I can only imagine if you had those bigger tires on you could almost fit completely over that stock h3

 

Ya there is a pic of one on here with 35's and a cranked t-bar and its HUGE compared to stock. I wish I could remember where that pic is..

 

Here's a picture of my H3 cranked to 23.5" with 33" Duratracs on stock rims.

 

Bunger,

Your truck looks good.

I'm planning to do the exact same thing, raise torsion bars and add 285 Duratracks to my h3.

Did you add new stops and replace the front shocks when you added the tires?

Would you do anything different?

Do you recommend raising the torsion bars?

Any performance (handling / power) issues with raising the torsion bars and bigger tires?

Thanks.

 

All of these have 35s except the Mr. Orange with the stock 33 Duelers, and mine (far left) which is on 305/70R16 MTZs.

 

Do a search, this topic has been beat to death many times, read what's out there.

So long as you do not exceed 23.75-24" from the fender lip to the center of the front hub, you do not need to do anything else except get an alignment. You can add extended bump stops if you want, as well as extended shocks if you go past 23.75". Adjust the T Bars, then decide if you want stops and shocks.

No brainer actually.

 

tada!

I'm glad my post count isn't huge yet, I can still go back and find the old stuff

oh and I think this the post you were looking for in a thread a few days ago(happened to be in the same thread)

 

do you have a side shot of your H3 leveled? I'm curious to see how my 265's right now would look with it cranked
