Default Truxxx Kit Question

Okay so I just got my Truxxx leveling kit and tried installing. I got to the first side and unbolted the TB bolt as per instructions.

http://www.truxxx.com/pdf/403010.pdf

So when I did that, I had the bolt all the way out and put the spacer on the bolt and could not screw it back in with the spacer because there was not enough treads. I guess the tension was released and that big of a spacer was not going to work. I realize that I may be confused or just having some issues here. I had jacked up the hummer to try and make things easier - still no success. Bolted it back together and figured I will wait until tomorrow when I call and see what I am doing wrong.

Does this sound familiar or can someone help out someone who is confused.

should have just cranked your tb's up and got new shocks and bumpstops.

those leveling kits are a waste of money.

Truxxx sucks.


For anyone even thinking about leveling kit keys .... I am selling lunar condominium units, PM me for details and send $$, you obviously do not mind throwing it out.

If i was you , i would clean up the parts and take them back to whoever conned you into buying it. then do a search on this forum on how to adjust your torsion bars to level your H3 without any aftermarket CRAP!

Probably costs more than taking an H3 to a dealer, having them crank the torsions then aligning it. mine was done before i picked it up new. they charged me a wopping 75.00 !
