chalk a line on the walls and trip the wall down.
then with a post jack just lift your roof and remove the support timbers one board at a time to lower it down to your desired height.
redrill ad re-rivet the roof to the wall
Like a big house moving job only smaller scale.

Correct, in theory it should work,but several critical factors are how tight is the roof rail holding the side wall panels, and is it glued/sealed as well as riveted? If a sealant is used then it might be next to impossible to pull it free of the walls and reuse it.
