I've heard that the '85s had taller springs but I
don't really know for sure.  How 'bout it, listees,
.... are all 2wd Vanagons originally equiped with the
same springs? Do Westy's have different ones than the
standard passenger models?

The shocks have nothing to do with sag or vehicle
height.  That's strickly a spring thing.  The shocks
only serve to dampen up and down motion.
