raising an adjustable suspension

[zen]

so i am trying to raise up the adjustable beam that the PO had put in. this is so i can towbar the car and start from scratch when i put my dropped spindles on.

when i released the nuts, the top was loose and the bottom popped down. ??? i expected the bolts to go up so the suspension would go down. true? the tires were supported when it popped. so the end result is that both bolts are pegged to the bottom and the suspension is still not releasing. it is as tight as it was.

thoughts?
