Spring Help

I recently changed out the broken springs on my 95 E350, from 3 leaf to 5 leaf, and the van sits even lower than before!

I also changed my spacers on my superduty from 2 inch blocks to 4 inch blocks. So, the other day, I was walking through my garage, and happened to see those old blocks, and got to wondering if I could add them under my vans rear springs.

Has anyone ever added blocks to a van? any reason why I cant install them on the van? Maybe this would bring it back to the original height without buying new springs? any reason It wont work? does anyone know the original, proper height for my van?

Thanks!

I don't see why it wouldn't work fine.
My 4X4 van has 3 or 4 inch blocks on the rear.
I would have to go measure them to be sure, just use long enough U bolts.
