I struggled to find any videos to help me lower my t4 so thought I would make one to help others
I lowered my van by adjusting the torsion bar bolts in the next video I will show you how to fit some shorter struts

You will find now your just sat on the bump stops . Will just bounce around. That low i had to cut mine down . Easy to do but then will drop even more. I sanded the lip off the bump stop holder too

It wasnt on the bump stops but I lowered it more so it was but I have another video I need to post where I cut my bump stops down to 15mm

New subscriber, love the videos mate 👍🏻 when I lowered my T4, I spent the week leading up to it spraying the tension nuts every evening. It paid off..... a little too well as I went to move the first nut and it was so easy that whacked my knuckles on the fuel tank 🤣 totally different story when I changed the torsion bars though lol 👍

If you keep some weight on the wheels, i.e. load on the torsion bar, it's much less likely to drop out when adjusting (unless you make it too loose). Biggest point when doing this, is have the van on axle stands. If you dont, and the T piece pops out then splat!
@PranceProject
@PranceProject 5 лет назад
Axle stands are a must if you ever lifting and vehicle up especially a heavy van.

Smashing video mate. I'm going to be doing mine soon and this was still helpful even though I'm familiar with the parts. Did you ever get around to doing a video for fitting the coil overs on the back?
@PranceProject
@PranceProject 5 лет назад
Thanks mate I made this as I found it hard to find info, only really on old forums. I have actually just made the rear video and going to edit it up in next few days, so keep an eye out for it

Can I ask where you bought coil overs for your rear? Just got lowered springs on mine and because it’s got a fully loaded camping interior the suspension bottoms out when anyone’s in the back
@PranceProject
@PranceProject 3 года назад
You have the wrong rated springs for your use what you using? Do u also me spring as t4 dont have coilovers

Hi, Great video, thanks! I have the same van. I'm curious if you can still get under car park barriers with the roof rack on and the suspension lowered?
@PranceProject
@PranceProject 5 лет назад
Thank you very much I am trying my best I currently have a broken hand so can't film anything at the moment. Funny you should ask that last week I actually went into a multi-storey car park and fit under the barriers with ease which I was very pleased about I think I even took a picture haha

I left it at 8mm or 6mm of thread at bottom of the bolt and it was fine no re adjust no rubbing very pleased, little stiff and bumpy but I'm fine with that. It's one of them Jobs u need to do but don't rush to do haha

Mr roof bars are meant for a t5 need a little reshape but was easy really, and you will need loads of silicone to weather proof it

You wouldn't need to do as much to lift it just tighten the torsion bars up really and maybe longer struts and bigger springs at the rear

@@petejel313 well I not sure on the offset of the wheels, some 4 or 5 inch lowering springs for the rear and some gaz struts seem to be the way forward, but depends on how long you want it and the offset of your wheels so they dont rub and how much weight you carrying ie bed cupboards ect
