Save your hard earned cash for an alignment after you adjust your torsion bar bolts.

There are 100s of posts on how to do this D.I.Y.

There are also 100s of YouTube videos on how to do it also.

Do NOT waste money on the Readylift kit.
Adjust torsion bars for FREE then get an alignment.

Here's mine with just the torsion adjustment when I had 33's on.

Plus some that hit the T-bolts like myself had that front shock top mount point jump around. There are shocks that are 1-2" longer then OEM to overcome this problem and I have a set for sell right now with less then 10K miles on them.

Rule of thumb to not stress out your CV's too much is 23.5" from the center of the CV shaft to the bottom of the fender.

What they said x 100 ^^^.

For many IFS vehicles, a re-indexed key is needed to provide room for extra turns of the bolt to raise the front end. In the case of the H3, there is already extra room engineered into the factory keys. More room than you can safely lift as a matter in-fact.
The Readylift keys add aboslutely nothing in terms of safe lift to the Hummer H3.
In addition, the H3 can already run up to 35" tires with no lift at all.

Crank it up to no more than 23.5", get an alignment, and enjoy the view!

Hey thank you for the pick your truck is very nice but I have heard that cranking the t bolt puts a lot of stress on stuff and makes things wear quicker and i know everyone says to go to 23.5 but does that stress the truck as well is this true and my other question is does the stock h3t sit higher than the stock h3 because yours looks pretty high in this pick and i like the height you have and do the shocks give you a little extra height to? thank you

You heard wrong, adjusting the T Bar bolts for lift up to 23.5 is fine. We've all been there and done that. What do you think the readylift does to get the truck to 23.5 besides drain your wallet?

Shocks do not lift a vehicle. 3s and 3Ts are identical from the rear doors forward.

Use the SEARCH function.

What the shock did for me was when I raised the front end the OEM shock wasn't long enough so on the highway and over bumps the shocks would jump and pop. With the new shocks they are slightly longer I no longer had that problem.

Also we sit them same until you put a small lift kit on it.
