Turnin the t-bars is very very easy and anyone can do it in about 5 minutes. You don't need to lift the front end, just crawl under the truck (go under the drivers and passenger door are). Look up and you will see a big bolt head, using a 1 1/8 (If I remember right) socket turn teh head clockwise three turns each side. This will level off the front. Some have gone as many as 6-8 turns but 3 turns should be all you need.

Importkiller is the man when it comes to wheel/tire questions. I just installed 18 x 9 Helo Maxx 6's and 35 x 12.50 - 18 Nitto Mud Grapplers on my H3. It really gave the truck a badass look. Will post pics soon. My biggest concern after the first tire was mounted and was checked out for clearance was whether that big-assheavytire would fit on the rear spare rack.As it turned out fitment was not a problem and there is about a 1/2"of clearance on each side of the tire where it fits in the bumper groove. Now if the back door doesn't fall off all well be well. I should mention that I did have tocrank on the T-bars to get the clearance needed. And as other post have stated it is not hard to do. I should also mention that I lost about 4 mpg, and at 70 mph it sounds like a Japanese zero on a dive-bombing run. LOL

Half inch drive 1-1/16 socket. 3 - 3.5 turns should be plenty.. Check the level left to right before starting.. You may find the truck is lopsided by up to an inch.. Raise the low side to equal the high side and then start counting up.. You might want to do this one turn at a time, taking the truck for ride between each turn.. Then of course take it in for and alignment... Dependig on how you plan on using the truck (off-road a lot).. Check one of the Firestone Mastercare centers for the alingment.. They have a lifetime (of you owning the truck) alignment deal for about $140..
