Re: Did the torsion today
ok I took it on a 60 mile trip and I can feel a few more bumps, but not that huge a difference. For the extra 1.2, I'm happy.

Re: Did the torsion today
I cranked mine up 2 turns. I gained almost an inch on the oil pan skid plate
I may go for 3 turns.
I marked the bolt with a dot from a center punch and the frame with a cold chisel.
I'll take it in to the dealer and have the alignment checked next week.

Re: Did the torsion today
I started out at 2.5 turns. Had the dealer take it up to 3. I'm at 11 inches of GC with the 35's and UCP.
No noticable difference in handling, the ride at higher speeds is a little choppy.
Small sacrifice for GC. Plus it looks much better

Re: Did the torsion today
Here is an idea of the difference the torsion bar adjustment can make. Both Mine (the yellow H3) and the other H3 have 33's. I think the dealer did about 3-3.5 rotations on mine.

Re: Did the torsion today
how much out of alignment is it after that?
do your lower control arms touch the bump stops anymore under normal weight?
looks good

When we were in Moab and Bebe was coming down Main Street at night, with traffic in the way I thought she was an H2 since she has the marker lights
