Being an avid off roader and building a couple full-size four-wheel-drive trucks with suspension lifts, I also was not too enthused when I found out they had to raise the body of my van 3" to accommodate the 8" lowered floor.  However, raising the body does not affect the steering geometry at all because the drivetrain and steering stays at factory specifications.  On the Ford vans, the maximum drop floor is 6".  The only other option I had to drive was to get a minivan with a 8"-10" dropped floor which, all the so-called experts did not recommend for various reasons especially my size.  After we received a 12" snowfall last week I'm glad I have my full-size van with its limited slip differential and high ground clearance.
