I assume you have an ajuster fitted to this beam? Unless you are sure this is what is fitted don't touch anything. The beam will have a nut fitted from the factory (this is to hold the torsion bars in place), loosen this and the whole front beam will collapse!!

If it is an adjuster fitted it should be an easy job. Handbrake on and chock the wheels to stop van from moving! Support the front of the van with axel stands. Crawl under and back off the adjuster, crawl back out. Support van with jack, remove stands and lower van to desired height with jack. Put stands back under for safety, then crawl back under to tighten adjuster securely. That should be it but you might wanna go round the block to let it all settle back down.
