Took the rake out of my H3
I read a very good post on here with pics on leveling out the front end.
It took me around 10 minutes to complete.
I took it in for an alignment like so many suggested.
So $70 later and I'm very happy with the results.
They guy who did the alignment told me he cranked the tow on the passenger side about a half turn and then the driver side a quarter.
It wasn't off much but new tires are expensive and I'm not willing to chance it.
My measurements started out at :
F/D - 22"
F/P - 22 1/4"
R/D - 24"
R/P - 24"
Ended up at :
F/D - 24"
F/P - 24"
R/D - 24"
R/P - 24"

How about Before and After pictures.
I hate the factory rake. Leveling by torsion bar adjustment was the first modification that I did when I bought my H3.
It makes a hugh difference in how an H3 looks. Should have been that way from the factory.

I too, was expecting a picture of the owner removing a lawn care implement from the truck.

Never a rake, but I had a shovel in the 3 once.
Seriously, the stock rake never bothered me but I do think the H3 looks better with bigger tires when leveled but for around town it looks alright stock to me.

Hey sorry to Hi jack ya thread ... but I was looking to lift the front of my H3 to level it out ... is that what you guys have done here? How much does it have to be lifted? and where is the best place to get the parts needed?
Thanx
