How did they raise it? That might reveal the method with which you can lower it again. Although, I can't believe they needed to.

No experience fitting higher profile tyres myself, but I would have thought there is already enough clearance to accomodate /70s instead of /60s.

They're definitely having a lend of you. Running 70 profile on mine, no probs. Any reason in particular for going back to the 60?
