You don't specify the model you're talking about
But you can chop the front springs and get the rear ones de-cambered, but this will affect what the van can carry

If it's an 80 model, then it'll be quicker and cheaper to pop down to Wickes for a couple of flag stones

It was more of a yawn for the sack of asking the same old question without doing a search and yet you still don't give us any van details.

A mechanic I know said he could lower the rear leaf springs by taking them off, heating them up and setting them with less of a curve. I was dubious because then surely the distance between the ends will be greater - plus if not tempered correctly they might bend or snap? Anyway as they are on the underside of the rear axle it is not straight as forward as ones that are on the upper side of the axle.
