HAH! Now that's one creative way to raise the roof!
Why raise the roof, you may ask? Well, this one's clearly a custom project, so I can't be certain, but I used to drive around a van with a raised roof myself.
It was a older Dodge Caravan, modified to become a wheelchair van. The ramp was under the floor, and extended to the side, so they couldn't drop the floor (as they do for most modern wheelchair taxi vehicles). Thus, the only option was to raise the roof to make room for a person to park their wheelchair.
