The adjusters in a ball joint beam don't stiffen or relax the torsion springs. They just change the angle at which the torsion springs are set at. The spring tension is the same when raised as when lowered. All the adjuster does is rotate the part of the beam that holds the center of the torsion springs.

I was actually getting an inkling that might be the case as I was writing. Its really the same principal as rotating the rear torsion bars, right?
Thanks Ron

Pretty much the same idea.

I would like some info on how to figure out shocks by rating
Ok, if you have a stock bug, the choices are pretty easy and made for you,... you just choose the brand pretty much.
So how do you pick the right shock say if you have lightened the car up say in my case with a kit car? Or like with the V8 conversion, where you have a huge amount of weight added? If I run stock shocks on my car the ride is normal in the back, but rigid as hell in the front. As a matter of fact on a dirt road with those braking rigdes you see just before corners, I rattled my gas tank clean out of it's mounts. Any help here would be great.
