Greetings Larry, and welcome aboard!

Turning the torsion spring leaves upside-down would have little or no impact because their neutral position is flat.

The FiberFab build manual, located in the library, describes how to modify the front beam, decreasing the spring rate to accommodate the much lighter front end of the MiGi. basically, FiberFab advises cutting the center section containing the torsion bar mount loose from the upper tube, then welding it back in at zero tension with the beam a specific height from the ground. This modification has been done on mine and the front ride height seems correct. Others on this site have expressed displeasure at the recommended modification, and instead advocate removing the narrower torsion spring leaves from both the upper and lower tubes, leaving only the wider leaves in place.

Were I in your shoes, I’d examine what was done to your beam and check for broken leaves, then develop a plan of action. There are plenty of videos on YouTube showing how the VW front beam is assembled. Prepare to get greasy, it’s a really messy job.

With regard to the rear, perhaps yours is built different than mine. I appear to have enough room to re-index the splines by removing just the rear fenders, not the whole body. Although I don’t need to do so, the rear ride height on mine also seems correct.

Regards,
Eric
