Default Re: New Bilstein / Cognito Hummer H3 Leveling Front Shocks???

Shocks are great. Definite big improvement over stock even with cranks TBs.

The body roll increase that occurs with cranking torsion bars partly occurs because you are no longer resting on the frame mounted bump stops. The shocks then assist with the body roll from there. I wouldn't necessarily say that these new shocks improve this situation any as I do not feel they are stiffer than the stock shocks.

High Pressure charged shocks really do not do a very good job at keeping body roll under control.

If after installing these shocks, you feel like it's still an issue (for me it's not) I would probably extend the bump stops to where they touch the control arm as they do from the factory. This should also assist with nose-dive when braking.
