Torsion adjusting - ?question?

[HUM GOOD]

I adjusted the torsion bars to level the height - I seem to have lost the smooth ride...she's a little bouncy up front. Is there a fix for this? new shocks maybe?
I have 75,000 miles......I'm about to put my new 37s on

Put a good lift kit on it. Messing with the torsion bars can (and will) tear up other suspension pieces. It also messes up the ride, as you've experienced.

You can add a inch or so without much impact, but I suspect you went for more.

If you are going to run 37's a lift will look better anyway.

I am currently buttering up the wife for a 6" lift and 37s (38s?). So far the exchange rate has been too high. (Mother inlaw visiting for 2 weeks - ICK!) I'm waiting for a more resonable trade (jewelry, spa visit, anything but the mother in-law)....

Good luck! It will look killer with the bigger tires!

Contact Cognito Motorsports for their shock extensions or extended length shocks. The shocks are the better choice

no matter what you do you will need a caster/camber adjustment now . why dont you get a tape measure and adjust them down a little and check both sides to make sure they are even ,and if your ride gets smooth again to where you like it you are back to square one (after alignment). if you want the lift be prepaired to go for some big bucks to do it right (over$3600.00)

The Cognito leveling kit with their control arms for the 2500HD also fits the H2, provides a ride equal to the stock ride and levels the H2

Now this is what I was hoping for. Any experiences with this?

I had it all aligned perfectly when the adjustment was made. I am going to try the cognito leveling kit, sound as if that will help my problem.

I have had nothing but good experiences with the Cognito products. However, not used the leveling kit personally - bt I would not hesitate to get it. I am going to try 37s with my cranked Torsion Bar setup and see how it goes. If it does not go well, I will add the kit myself.

Since you already have the Tbs cranked AND THE ALIGNMENT, why not try just their extended shocks first. If you are happy with just those then you are set. If not, you can use the shocks with their leveling kit!

I would do this kit with extended Bilstein shock option: http://cognitomotorsports.com/store/page36.html

I cranked my wife's TBs on her H3 and added the H3 Cognito shocks. Not only did it make it ride as good as stock - but it rides even better since I have more travel from getting rid of the restrictive OEM shocks.

Thanks - but not ready to go with a lift as of yet. I like the look with the stock height and 37s. I am leaning towards the Cognito leveling kit.
