Torsion bar adust SIMPLIFIED
 
OK, I did my T bar adjust today after reading about it so much & yet couldn't figure out how it was done...till I did it. Easy:

Lift the H3 from the front center, under the first skidplate crossmember, until the front wheels are off the ground; then use a 1 1/16" socket to turn the adjusting bolts (under rear seat areas) how ever far you want them to go. Mark the head with a Sharpie beforehand. Righty tighty on the bolt takes the front higher, I went 2 turns & it lifted the skid plate about 1".

None of you ever explained it in simple terms! Just from reading, it sounded like you had to turn the torsion bar itself when you loosen the bolt...but as I turned it towards loose, I realized it was adjustable...not knowing how the assembly works, I had no idea at first what needed to be moved. Not hard at all, provided a nice lift to the front.

Now that you are on a learning mission, don't forget to get a front end alignment.
