We can't advise you further as the type of van (i.e. its weight) will depend what's best for you, but the Wiki is a good read; before you head over to Brickwerks for a browse:

I'm sure if you email Michael in sales, he'll advise your options, but be specific on your van type.

The above being totally true and good advice, if the dampers are leaky and the various rubber bushes that make up the steering and suspension are rotten, replacing these, even like-for-like will make a huge difference. My converted panel van is pretty much stock, but new Bilstein Dampers and poly steering rack bushes made it like driving another van. Every bit that gets refreshed makes it incrementally better!
