The van does not sit on the shocks.  You can remove these shocks and the
height of the van will not change.  Removing the shocks will however remove a
limit to the suspension travel, but they do not determint the height of the
van.
See for yourself, it will just take a few minutets to remove the rear shocks.
You'll see that the van's height will not change.  It will however make it
awfully bouncey over bumps & dips.
