When you say "rekey" do you mean using the readylift kit for example.

I'm not familiar with that kit..... is it like this one?

I know i'm only new to the H3 life.

It looks like you do a fair bit of off road work and raising the front does level out the body and looks better but also gives you a better approach angle. This Readylift looks Ok but I would throw away the shock spaces and buy a good set of aftermarket shocks to suit.

Your current shocks are running over extended which will be producing extra heat and dampering will not be very effective. Using the shock spacers will correct this but most OEM shock are design for 90% on road and a little off road use.

As for your suspension not compressing much you have "cranked" them 4 1/2 turns, which to me sounds a lot. You may have excessive tension pushing the wheel towards the ground and not allowing any upwards travel. It would also make for a harsh ride compared to standard setting. Also torsion bars do break if over tensioned.

Ready lift or any other will NOT CHANGE what you are experiencing. Ready lift and others ONLY reindex your starting torsion key point, they do no change or add travel in any way. If you turned up your torsion bars to level the front you need to extend the stock shock travel as this will limit the suspension travel and cause the problems you are experiencing. Get shock mount extensions or something like bilstien cognitos with extended travel for the H3.

I allready ordered the Fox shocks (both rear and front) in order to improve the ride. I'm ordering now the Readylift kit also.

Thank you all for your advice
