hi all. I've decided to do 18's and I want an approx 34" tire. The wheel will be 8.5" wide so a 305 would be nice. What can I run w/o serious reliablity issues since this is my daily driver. Also I hear people taking about adjust the torsion bars? How will my speedo and odometer be affected?

Thank you!

Ok thanks for the tire help :/ I've decided to run Nitto Terra Grapplers 325 60 18's they are 33.35" tall and 12.8" wide.

Now I could please use more info on the torsion bar adjustment to increase the front lift. Is there a tech article here on how to do this? Can I do it myself? TIA.

You can certainly do it yourself. You best bet is to do a search using the "Find" button above. You will find some threads that will tell you exactly what to do.

well thanks for the tip about the "find" feature but I had done that already and no one has posted a complete message about the proper way to do this.

IE: where is the location of the bolt?
does the truck need to be jacked up while doing this?
what size socket is required?

with 83 hits I expected a little more feedback...

82 of those 83 hits were just me repeatedly looking at and thoroughly examining this thread. But I know nothing about torsion bars on an H3.
