The kits usually have re-indexed torsion bar keys (the part you adjust) and some have shock extension brackets. All the keys do is change the amount of adjustment you can make. They're not necessary as there is enough adjustment with the stock keys to get the front end level.

Re: Unbelievable
To add to what Sewie said, the kits with the shock extension brackets require you to crank a minimum amount so your vehicle sits high enough so you aren't riding on bottomed out shocks. This "mimimum amount" is actually a lot on the H3 due to the design of the lower shock mount design.

Fixed.
I have the inclination that there's more to this story than is being told....
