Got the Truxx leveling kit..but....

Just curious why wouldnt you mess with the rear. I figured the easiest fix from what I read would be just to add the new shackles. If I bring the front down then another alignment will have to be done..right?

The front end is not going to settle. The only time that it would settle is if you changed your torsion bars. If you have had your h3 for a while the springs are already settled. For the rear all you need is a set of Jeep YJ lift shackles. They are much cheaper and do the same thing. For you guys calling it Ghetto, What do you think your doing buy cranking the torsion bars up!

I didn't crank my "T" bars.

Just throw a 9000lb whinch on the front and she will be sitting pretty!

I had the same issue with the front being a little higher. Got those shackles from Samco and they did the trick. The stance was perfect and ride was better than with the front end higher.

So the shackle solution isn't so cheesy? Ride's good? WTF? I've never used them and never heard anything positive about them. Aside from H3Slate 's comments.

"get longer shackles to raise it back up.

You could put a air lift on the rear. It gives certain options...

You are correct sir!

As a matter-of-fact I suggested using a wench to solve this anomaly!

I said "yet". Adding shackles is fine, but then you'll eventually want new, longer shocks in the rear. So why not just turn down the t-bars for now and see how it sits?

Now my real advice would have been to forget the truxx kit and just crank the t-bars and maybe add the Cognito/Bilstein shocks.

Yep.

The Samco shackles are WAY overpriced. The ones I got are just as stong, provide more lift, and were 1/4 the price.
