Just think-If its a 15 passenger van and made to take 15 people at the same time, if the average is 200lbs per person its made to take 3,000lbs. But part of those people are in the front and you will probably be putting the weight in the back so take into consideration that 5 of the 15 will most likely be towards the front so the suspension was in the back was probably engineered for about 1,000lbs. So minus the seats and you have the suspension rated for almost a ton. So if you plan on putting 2 tons in the back you might just sit it down close to the ground. I don't know if that makes any sense to you but thats the way I look at it

Got a ton and a half (fuel pellets) now for the 6 hour drive home...all interstate. E4OD, do I need it out of overdrive? I read it wasn't necessary but I just put 2k into rebuilding it......and don't want to do that again.
