The regular Hellwig mounting are actually ok for clearance. I've wrapped some vegetation round the ends, but it's never hung up. The shock mounts and diff are still lower. If the ends are too low...

Most trucks with giant lifts don't a CoG that's 4' off the ground. Or have most of their weight on the rear end. Besides the truck camper folks. They deal with this issue too.

The old springs...

I still think you need to increase rear roll stiffness, to compensate for the high COG and rear weight bias of your van. Airbags won't help that. That larger front sway bar will help, but not as much...

Yeah, I think that' a good spot, but it does look tight on clearance in the pics. Only one way to find out for sure! Trickiest part will probably be with the dpax side under full compression with the...

The slightly clocked lower overload is nothing to worry about. You can use a BFH to move it into place if it bothers you, but functionally it won't hurt anything as-is.

The missing washers can...

Most likely. Basically, with the angle of your drag link, every time the the driver side of your van compresses, including from body roll, it's shoving your steering to the right. Which of course...

I was wondering about that too. I looks like the bushings got shoved forward, possibly from the sway bar binding (which should be better now with the lift). But then again, the new Delrin bushing are...

Looking at you axle pic, I think they did put in rubber axle-bushings. At least they look black in the pic. Could be just smeared in grease. Moog does offer the rubber ones too. But the clear poly...

Drag link and track bar angle need to match. Yes, reducing the drag link angle would help, but only you also drop the track bar angle by extending the frame bracket. Otherwise it makes it worse.

I agree with 5-6 degrees on caster.

Also going slight toe-in will make it a little more stable.

The sway-bar frame bushings are usually in stock at any Ford dealer. I have a couple sitting in...
