Raising Front End that Has Been Lowered

[harleymark54@gmail.com]

I have a 1970 T2 van that has been lowered in the front using the beam lowering kit. Would anyone have a tip on the raise it back up?

Depends. 

If it is an adjustable beam should just be a matter of adjusting back the other way. 

Then there is one off method where is is set. 

Also need to see if they have cut and rewelded the beam. 

Post up some pics of the centre of your beam if not sure

We installed adjusters a long time ago. Tried to adjust up {also a long time ago} and I could not shift it.

T3’s and strut beetles are so much easier to play with.

If it's been dropped on an adjustable beam / spindles, you'll need to raise the vehicle on a hoist in order to take all the weight of the spindles.
Should then be a matter of undoing the lock bolt and adjusting the height....carefully....the wheel and hub will move via gravity .....
If it's on a dropped, fixed beam.....you'll need to replace the beam itself to get it back up to stock.

Good theory with adjusters. Even tried a BIG hammer and could not get it to move a shmidgeon!

As per Oldman's comments above

I have not actually done it - but those adjusters seem to be at maximum up??

Maybe you have dropped spindles as well?
