Thats for a S-10 mini-truck your ft end will crush those...The only thing I can say is when you find out how or which way you want to do this , buy it right or buy it twice...

My best guess for your van would be getting new taller coils and longer shocks....cause your only looking for an inch or so...

I take it your ft end looks similar to this....

Mines looks a bit different.

From your pic it looks like the coil has had it. No shame in it for the few extra bucks you would be way happier with new springs, the labor would be simpler and a lot safer also past experience has taught me not to trust cast aluminum under impact situations ( I know there a lot of wheels that are made of cast aluminum, but really I have repaired some in my day, early rubber band wheels and even those were built tougher than what these things look like. Minnesota that's gonna cost and be awhile to Scotland.
