H3 Torsion Bar Lift Video Walkthrough

Step 1: Jack front end up with floor jack (make sure you are on level ground)

Step 2: Locate and adjust torsion nut 2.5 turns clockwise on each side (clockwise will give increased height)

Step 3: Lower the front end and drive around. Pump the brakes some to let everything settle/work in

Step 4: Take measurements for back and front wheels from the center of the hub cap to the lip of the fender (you want to bring the front wheel measurement up to equal the back wheel measurement)

Repeat steps 1-4 adjusting the amount of turns you do on the torsion nuts as needed to have the back height equal the front height

Step 5: Get a front wheel alignment!

Step 6: **OPTIONAL** Get and install bilstein fron shocks and bump stops h3 package from www.trailduty.com (cheapest I've seen) to increase ride and comfort

That looks prety good without a aftermarket lift kit.

@ltucker9 it looks level to me too especially compared to what it looked like before!

Do you have to buy torsion bar keys or can you do it with just stock parts?

[jgalvar]

@strikerstudd10 no

[soundscare]

shitty, i thought you were going to show us how to do it......

[jgalvar]

@soundscare if you can't figure it out from this you probably shouldn't do it

[jgalvar]

@Phillip36oh I've been about 30,000 miles now with them cranked and haven't had any problems...front wheel alignment is mentioned in the description

Just bought me a 2006 h3, I was fixing to do a break job for someone. He is a younger fella, said he wanted his torsion bars tightened maybe one inch lift, I told him while we are at it we can lift the hummer about an inch to inch and a half, two inches or more will wear your cv joints badly.

Just got 31s on my 99 Jimmy. I'm about to do a video next week it will be under (GMC JIMMY COMEBACK) thank 4 the info ur bid was helpful

[henshalldood]

make sure you check your cv joints going over a 2 inch lift usually the joints start to wear pretty fast

[NISMOfanseattle]

if thats your defintion of level you must be high

[jgalvar]

@tmkbehkn correct

I crank em all the way up no jack needed if you aint a pussy or stupid. Just use a breaker bar and yer balls. Stock shocks work fine my truck rides great. Not talking shit to the video poster just saying this for people with a small budget or people that dont have a jack
