If it were my van, I would never consider bent arms. That completely changes the geometry of the front suspension and steering, and also raises the roll center. While this will make the van have less body roll than one with brackets, it also means vehicle rollover will be more abrubt, be unpredictable (from a driver feel point of view). Another side effect is you get more tire scrub in bounce than stock, which can cause bump steer whenever the tires don't have equal traction.
And... Camburg blatantly ignores the warnings cast right into the arms with say "Do not heat or weld." They claim they haven't had any problems, but I wouldn't trust them on my van, unless I saw their engineering analysis and heat treatment procedure.
Camburg bends your existing arms. They do not stock new arms.
