How exactly do you crank the torsion bars? I still have not figured this out after all the reading about it. There are no pictures that I have found that shows how to do it.

Is the bilstein steering stabilizer a direct replacement to the oem? I bought a Rancho but apparently you need a bracket kit which I don't care for.

If the Bilstein is a direct replacement I'd rather go that route!

Yes, it's a direct replacement...that's why i choose it over the rancho.

I recently cranked up my torsion bars on my '06 H3. I added no leveling kit nor did i do anything to the back. I want new Bilstein shocks and was wondering what size and model do I need. Are the front shocks a different size from the back? And is the installation process difficult? Please help me out

from what I have read the 5100's are for slightly lifted trucks while the 4600's I believe are the stock replacements. Double check that info though.

Well, after all this hoopla about the Bilstein 5100's, I decided to take the plunge and get my set of them as well. I had to hurry so I could get mine before LoJac963 got his .

I cant wait to see (feel) how they do for my H2!!
