Claim Text:
1. An assembly for adjusting the distance between an underside of a vehicle and a ground surface, the assembly comprising: an axle casing connected substantially parallel to the underside of the vehicle; a pair of swing arms, each swing arm being resiliently and rotatably connected at a proximal end to the axle casing; a wheel axle connected at a distal end of each swing arm; a pair of actuator arms fixed to and extending from the axle casing; a retraction mechanism associated with each actuator arm and rotatably connected in a fixed position in relation to the vehicle, the retraction mechanism having at least one retractable linkage connected to the associated actuator arm, the retraction mechanism when rotated adjusts the length of the retractable linkage to rotate the actuator arm, the axle casing attached thereto, and the swing arms with respect to the vehicle; and a shaft interconnecting and coupling the retraction mechanisms, thereby synchronizing rotation of the retraction mechanisms.
