im guessing they will probably drop right out when jacked up and be quite a bouncy ride

Won't adjust the ride too much, it'll be very low though. Also probably find they'll unseat when you jack it up so make sure they're in place properly every time you lift it up.

The shock doesn't hold them, they'll be free if the beam drops far enough.

They do generally take the gap up though even if they sit lower when there's weight on them.

I know there's alot of haters on this but on my B i removed the adjusters, AND chopped two coils off, was supposed to be temporary until I got some custom springs. But never got round to it in the end. Never had one problem, and the ride wasn't any worse!
