For your 2001 Chevy 1500 Conversion Van I recommend taking a look at the RoadActive Suspension Enhancement Kit # RAS2611-V to greatly improve the ride quality for your passengers.
This particular system is confirmed to fit your van and will essentially convert the existing leaf springs into a mechanically active suspension system that will eliminate wheel hop (so your passengers can stay attached to their seats) along with reduce the chances from that jarring sensation of bottoming out. It will secure on top of the current leaf spring and under the U-bolt plate to provide coil tension during travel.
I have attached a short video review on this kit along with the written installation instructions that you can check out as well.
