VW Type III front torsion bars are adjustable.

When I was in high school we took a classmate's father's red Valiant station wagon into Salem to drag the gut. We'd drive to the end of their dirt driverway, jack the car up and crank the torsion bars down and head for town. Coming back, we'd jack it up and raise it again. Took a few minutes with many hands.
