I had the delaer adjust my torsion bars and other than the bounce in the front end being slightly more, it has not affected anything. I drove an H1 for years, so any ride is smoother. The dealer also realigned the vehicle for free as it was "pulling a little"

Asked them to do an alignment when it was in on Monday for the DVD/marker light install but they said they couldn't yet. Have to wait until it has at least 500 miles to do it. Oh well, have to take it back when the part they ordered for the sunroof comes in and will have 500 by the end of the weekend.

Thanks for the info. 3/4" lower than the back should be about right. I really don't like the look from the factory but I guess there is a reason for it. I will see if they will adjust it Monday. Did they do your alignment right then? Do you need to wait to let it settle in a bit?

I have noticed that the truck does handle nicely off road raised up and the stance does look a little meaner. My pregnant wife complains every time she gets in, so I got that going for me too.

Since I am dropping mine off Monday to get marker lights and DVD installed, do you guys think I should ask them to adjust mine? Or should I just do it and never say anything. I recall a post about this stating that if the dealer does it there can't be any warranty issues.

 I had the dealer make the adjustment. After a ride around the block, dealer did alignment. It was pulling a little to the right. Dealer loved the look. Wesloh Hummer off road event on 2/19/06 at Hungry Valley was a blast and my first..wow This stuff can be addictive............

It should be free at all dealerships for six months form the day of purchase.

How much is the dealer charging to install the marker lights?

I am curious about it too. I want to raise the front a little but don't want to effect the ride much if any. I am thinking maybe 1 to 1 1/2 turns would help the looks.

I guess I suck at using the search here b/c I keep coming up short on pix. Can any of you please repost your before and after or any side-by-sides etc?

I would have to go through the paperwork as it was worked into the purchase. As I recall, we negotiated something like $600 or $650 installed. Don't think you could get that price after purchase but as I said, it was worked into the deal.

Good to know. I may go ahead and do it this weekend before dropping it off on Monday.
