Default T bar crank question

I recently cranked my t bars to level my 06 h3. It's 24in from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender. But now I'm getting a little vibration going down the high way that I didn't get when it was at stock height. Any answers are appreciated!

How many miles on the odometer? If you are certain the vibration was not there previous to rha, then you can rule out the most common source (wheels out of balance). Is the vibration felt in the steering wheel or seat. Most of the time that determines if it is from the front or rear. Adjusting the ride height, changes the angle on the front axles joints and if worn/binding, could be the source of your vibration. If you determine the vibration is from the front, have the balance checked on the tires, and/or rotate the tires, and if vibration is still there, have the front axles checked.

its only got 57k and I went threw everything before I leveled it and everything is tight. and the vibration is in the floor board. but its only at like 60mph ish. I already re sealed my tires and balanced them but they are original b stones but they are a lil chopped/cupped/worn/dry rotted. but like I said the vibration wasn't their before I leveled it unless I didnt notice it? ha you know how you get used to that stuff but if anything I might lower the front end down 1/4 in or so.

Did you get an alignment after the t-bar adjustment? If not then you are riding on the edges of your tires where the "chopped/cupped/worn/dry rotted" area is.

You have to get an alignment after any modification to the front suspension either up or down.

24" is to high. Lower it 1/2" and you will be I the "safe zone".
