Well obviously that is not just a Torsion bar lift. You can search any Hummer forum and find a lot of info on the cons of torsion lifts. I think what he was referring to was a torsion bar adjustment or keys without correcting the other suspension issues. H2s have a lot more weight than the trucks. I still think that you would be putting more stress on the suspension components that would cause some issue in the future, especially if you Off Road a lot. BTW, did you replace the upper control arms? I have been trying to find someone that has to see what the drive is like. Thanks for the info!
