I'm guessing you have already checked this out, (without seeing a picture of your towbar I can't see if it's the same as my vehicle) but have a look at all the components that make up the towing frame as well as the towball bracket itself...I have a Nissan cabstar, and the towbar was very low, so once I had loaded it with logs and chip, and then towing the chipper too, the towball and the chipper drawbar were silly close to the road (Still plenty of give in the rear springs, and not overloaded) I looked underneath where the whole towing frame bolts to the chassis, and realised there is adjustable holes to fix it to...I raised it by two holes to the maximum height. Then I flipped the crossbar (that the towball is bolted too) through 180 degrees and that gave me another inch.
Hope this makes sense...worth a look on your van of its possible

I haven't. I will.

I haven't. I will. 

Just make sure you don't compromise the number of bolts holding the brackets to the chassis - I could of gone higher, but it would of meant being unable to use two of the bolts as the two of the bracket holes would of been higher than the top of the chassis framework...[emoji106]
