Here's mine. '07 H3 Lux pack, Chrome pack, factory aluminum roof rails, front windows tinted to back level, torsion bars cranked to 23.5 inches, 315/75/16 (35") BF Goodrich A/T, Bilstein shocks, factory bumps (had 1/2 extended bumps, rode terribly).

Tires only rub on the front sway bar at full turning, not a big deal. I wish I had fender flairs, the tires stick out about 1/8-1/4 inch from the fenders and sling water/mud/tireshine/rocks/dirt all over the side of the truck and theres no way to avoid it... but I guess thats what I get for having a black truck. Other than flinging stuff up, the tires are great, look WAY better than factory.

that looks good with the KMs and minimal crankage.

Thanks. MPG is pretty bad, don't buy a hummer for mileage. I average about 14, and thats calculating the spedo/odometer change.

It stands about 3.5 inches higher than stock in the front and leveling changes the aerodynamics a bit for the worse, so theres alot of wind resistance/new wind buzzes... but I live in OK where 30mph constant winds are normal. I only get wind buzzes when I'm going 80mph into 30mph winds, or the equivalent of going 110mph, I think any hummer would buzz at that speed.

Yea man, I learned that pretty quick! Looking foward to level and getting some new tires maybe not as big. Powdercoating factory wheels also!

I cranked my torsions up to 22 in front, but that was 5 turns per side, seems like the front should have gone up a bit more from what Im reading, what gives? The rear sits at 25, with stock 16inch tires, measurements are taken from the "H" on my centercap to the fender well.
Can I crank the bolt more than 5 full turns without hurting anything, to get more lift?
Thx
