2 inches is pretty close to the limit without bending the beams. Your 'lift' is limited by how much you can adjust camber, and still maintain steering geometry. For 2002 and before vans, moog makes a camber/caster adjusting kit that can go pretty wild. Moog 30192G.

I myself am looking into a 2-4 inch lift, possibly going with a 6 inch lift once i find the right van (diesel or v10 e250/350 of a young vintage) For the price of some of those 6 inch kits though, i could contact UJOR and get started on no **** 4wd...
