TORSION BAR Equalization
It's level when a tape measure says it's level. One side may need more turns than another. Read this thread about leveling: https://www.hummerforums.com/m_85049/tm.htm.

Alrock is right. Most H3's come from the factory sitting crooked so ya need a tape a couple jacks and some wrenches. Measure both front sides and adjust accordingly. If you do too much adjusting REMEMBER you'll need an alinement or your tyres will remind you in a few thousand miles. ALWAYS measure from the center of the wheel to the fender lip for an accurate measurement.
You need an 1 1/16th" socket or wrench, don't need jacks, and a tape measure. Adjust the low side up until level. Drive it for a week or so and check it with the tape again, might still need a tweak. You would not want to crank both T Bar adjusting bolts all the way, and no it would not be level across the front if you did.
More fodder.

I mesed with mine and jacked them way up (about 4 turns). After feeling how terrible the ride was I brought them back down to around the factory specs, but I can't seem to get the truck level again. I messure, tweak, drive it, tweak - I even stop on the side of the road when I think just a couple of 1/4 turns will do it. Of course...it doesn't. No matter what I do it won't level out. Any suggestions?
Not sure what your problem is, I cranked mine way more than they said to and it didn't effect moving it up and down again. I know everyone says 2-2 1/2 turns. I don't know why but mine went about 6 turns before I got the same measurements as everyone else. Had it checked out after and all is good.
What is the recommended ride height by the factory specs, anyone know? I know that before I started turning them, the passenger side was almost 3/4 inch higher, but it sat level. I didn't record the strating heights, like a moron.
