[QUOTE="Clem, post: 456286, member: 15"] If you can do it yourself, then yes, it can be done for free. Dismantle the beam, drill out the spot welds that hold the central leaf locators in place, then whack it (the locator) free using a scaffold pole from the side, then whack it from side to side to make sure it moves easily. Then extend the holes that the central bolt goes through so it allows the bolt to sit at a lower point - this in turn ensures that the trailing arms sit at a different angle to then thus lowering it. Bolt it all back together again and essentially youve lowered the van for nothing. :) You can go a couple of inches and get away without needing new dampers, tyres etc and without comprimising too much ride quality.
