The only way I know of is to weld in the torsion bar adjusters from Bus Boys or Wolfgang Int.

This would mean that you can reuse your current beam but would have to take it out and part for welding.

I think Lawrence Merediths book "VW Bus Customs and Classics" may have detailed information on how to do this.
