[QUOTE="69rhdpanel, post: 384991, member: 13700"] I've lower lots of beams over the years, for friends and my own. If adjuster are fitted remove the nut on both adjusters but make sure the stud with the hex fitting in the top is fully screwed in, remove the outer toothed part of the adjuster. To raise the height I use A car jack( the ones fount in the back of your car) between the top torsion arm and underside of the wheel arch, using a block of wood to spread the load. This allows fine adjustment. Sound like the beam was on its lowest setting then you have turned the adjusters on the shocks, putting all the weight them. They are not designed to take the weight of a bus. If you can get the beam to the height you want without the shocks fitted then measure between the mounts and and get shocks to match. But shock choice is another topic, best to get GAZ coil over shocks about £190 but well worth the money and ride quality. I've just got some to go with my dropped spindles. [/QUOTE]
