You did not say what make of towbar you have but the Volvo detachable came in 3 different heights.
One for standard suspension, a taller one for the lowered R models and a shorter one for the raised suspension XC.
Whether you can change the height of your towbar depends on what make it is and if they do variations.
The vans attitude in the photo does not look too bad and as long as you don't have to negotiate steep inclines, where the rear of the van might hit the ground, you will probably be OK.
Have you got Nivomats ? in this case putting more weight on the rear of the car has little effect as suspension self levels when you start moving.
