Expert Reply:

If your 2011 Chevy Vans are diesel models and cutaway models (service vehicles like ambulances or even RVs) then you can use the SuperCoils, # SSC-14 and it will help in reducing tire wear and wear of other components allowing them to last longer but it will not completely eliminate the problem.

If your fleet does not have diesel and cutaway models then I recommend Timbren springs, # TGMFK15A. These springs will get stiffer and harder to compress the more weight is put on them so they will also work well to reduce tire wear and prolong the life of the suspension.

Any suspension enhancement is designed to be installed on a vehicle whose suspension is in good working order so if any of the vans need control arms replaced you would do that first before installing a system. I have included a link to our FAQ article on suspension enhancement for you.
