I'm not a technical guy, just a Vanagon owner who also sells parts. My
description was intended to allow people to visualize how their van would
look with these springs.  The measurement I mentioned (actually an
approximation, not a precise measurement) is meaningful if your tires have
the same sidewall height as mine do.  (Like most Vanagon owners, I have
stock size Vanagon tires, 185R14 or 205/70R/14, both of which have basically
the same sidewall height.)  Of course if you have taller or shorter tires
than stock, your ride height will differ.

Incidentally, I should also clarify that the total price, excluding
shipping, is $360.95 with listmember discount figured in.
