Are you carrying a lot of weight in the van?

It was my drivers side which hung a lot lower. It was basically hitting the bump stop every bump. It still does even with the new springs.

Look up Moog 7268
Moog 7270 and
moog 7272

The 68 is the thinnest, 72 the heaviest.

Put a caliper on your current springs to see what thickness you currently have.

Mine were 7270's. The 7272 are definitely firmer. But it turns flatter, handles better, but it is still a top heavy van.
