Need help with front end / torsion bar
#11
No problem, hope that helps. I just went out and measured my trucks front suspension height, 25.75 inches from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender. That is for the stock suspension on my 2005 H2 SUT sitting on relatively level ground.
Yes, there are lots of kits to level the front of the truck with the back of the truck. Some will say to just "crank" the torsion bars up but the stock ones are not designed for those kinds of forces and you will make the suspension too stuff up front. The more correct way to level it is with a kit like this:
Hummer H2 2.5" Front Leveling Kit by ReadyLift
These new torsion keys have a different turn, or index, for the torsion bars and are essentially like putting on stiffer and taller coil springs in a vehicle with a coil sprung front suspension.
Just google search a leveling kit and you will find one from about every aftermarket suspension company.

Im going to have it align it but I was thinking ... If the truck was aligned when got the new tires , then it loose the align due to the torsion bar issue ..
Now having the TB back to normal wouldn't have the align back to normal as well ?
