Do you actually have to take the bean off when lowering with adjusters CSP etc? Or do they weld on with the beam on the van???
 
Bugger I want to lower it quick to get it in a garage.....
The garage door is 1m82 and the top of the van is 2m 11 standard dormy top on.......

Want the safest cheapest way to get it down and in the garage any top tips..
 
Do you need to get it in the garage for the winter.....or will it be in and out.

To get it that low (1.82m) permanently you will need to spend some real cash. With my pop top, mine sits at 1.92m.
 
Sh*t sorry I'm 6ft 5ins and the garage door is a fraction higher so that'd be more like 1.95 - 1.96.....
 
OK this is the door inside have loads of room I'll start a new query regards adjusting a door sure loads will want to or have.....

Along the same lines as Chippi

Is the garage door an up and over? If so replace it with a set of Barn doors. This should give you 100 to 150mm extra. We did this for ours.
 
OK new link started for the GARAGE DOOR LINTEL door thanks for all advice and anymore gratefully received...

Cheers

if you don't want to take your beam off you have 2 options as i see it.

1. dropped spindles... will give you 2.5" drop... but you would be very lucky if you land on some at short notice.

2. red9 kit can be fitted with the beam in situe and can give up to 5 1/2" drop.
 
Have been thinking about a RED9 kit and am quite keen on the just trying to way up all the options though

Also were do ya source DS from and who makes em are there diff ones etc?
 
fit a roller door about £300 and will give you more width and about 4 inches extra height.
 
when you do finaly get it in make sure you have enough room to close the door, i manage do get mine in, but had to lower the tyres and push it right back to shut the door, dabm up and overs!!!
