i went to lower my front end the other day i loosened the nut
that surrounded and then adjusted the allen key bolts and it done nothing at all any help at all much appreciated
If it's been in the same position for a long period of time it would be fair to say that the adjuster has seized inside the beam tube mabey , plus have you loosened the clamp nut , ie the one comming out of the beam at 90 deg to the tube ( BUT DO NOT UNDO THE ALLEN KEY HEADED GRUB SCREW IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS NUT ) as this will mabey end up with the dimple in the spring packs mis aligned
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel
Yes, two lock nuts to make a sway-a-way style work. Also do it on some jack stands but you may need to load the suspension a little to go lower.
Take a pic and we can advise you

Those bolts hold your torsion leaves (front springs) in position.
If you loosen those bolts you in effect have no front springs.
If you want to check, take them out and you sould see a dimple in the bottom of the hole that the bolt pressed into.
If you cant see the dimple, move the suspension up and down till you do and re insert and tighten the bolt.
