By “lift” do you mean raise the suspension ride height?

[Bob Shea]

I do indeed

Unless the builder (if it wasn’t you) removed torsion leaves and did not cut turn an re-weld the upper tube of the beam, you’re out of luck short of adding coil over springs and making it ride even worse.

I used an adjustable beam and removed all but four main leaves in each tube. Then I set the ride height with the beam adjusters. This gave me a great ride, handling and the correct ride height.

oops…the rear should be adjustable via the stock VW set up. You have to “re-clock” the torsion arms.
