Sorry but that wont wash here - read what you wrote when you said you changed to your new van the car went down at at the back (implying that this was more than with your previous van) - (if not why did you say that?) - (and you did say you had no issues until you changed your van) (so the issue was a greater depression on the rear of the car with the new van - well at least that was what you wrote) and then you said you expected it to go down even more when you fully loaded your new van. The preload on your tow ball should not change much no matter how you load your van MAYBE you want to read your post carefully BEFORE you press the submit button.

Also asking about which kind of shocks is a personal choice thing probably in this case best asked at the Caravan site either real time or find an online one.
