Expert Reply:
Timbren springs # TGMRG30PL fit the 2012 Chevy Express Van 3500 chassis like yours as long as the factory bump stop has a curved bracket. If the van chassis has a straight factory bump stop then I recommend # TGMRG30 which is rated for 3,600 pounds which is still more than enough for this application.
The springs will help prevent the van from sagging at the back and reduce that side to side body roll feeling when turning. I have included links to the installation instructions for both sets for you.
