Change to high lows on a van trailer?

Should be simple as. Can you turn it upside down and work on it that way

Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Choose two.

unbolt the shockers from inside the trailer, jack the trailer up, remove the wheels, push the trailing arm down, seperate the cones from the trumpets and remove

reinstall with hi-los where the trumpet goes

Will fitting hilos enable me to make the van sit lower?

yeah

yea, but you will want shorter shocks if u want to go more than about 1/2 - 1" lower? i think? or the knuckle joints will try to pop out, or make funny noises. i dunno about everyone else, but in my car, i fitted spax adjustables (lowered) and set the hi-lo's so the shocks are mid-stroke at rest. no probs that dropped it to the sam height as my saggy front end.

speed costs....how fast do you want to go...

If you buy a set of hi-los, you'll end up with spare bits for the front end. Why not machine a little from the trumpets or fit saloon trumpets? Cheaper and no wastage - it's only a trailer. You just need to know the ratio of amount removed vs subsequent drop in ride height.

Can I adjust the van rideheight just by changing the shocks?

No. Ride height is a function of how compressable the rubber cones are, the length of the aluminium trumpets and the trailing arm. Do a search on lowering a mini. You can remove the end of the trumpet and file or machine a little from the end, refit the end and reinstall. But the amount removed is a lot more than the drop attained.
