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 not, but I'm no expert on these matters.
Vans are just a truck suspension under a different body.

John you should be all set. Years ago I had an old fed ex box truck,If I needed parts and told them that it was for a box truck they looked at me crossed eyed. If I said e350 van they were ok. I had to rebuild the front end all the parts came from Auto Zone for a E350.
