[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 615250, member: 20098"] A fairly common issue (as we found with our van) is that the suspension is dropped too low on standard spindles, and the bouncing you're experiencing is actually a result of the ball joints being permanently at the full extent of their travel. Without going into details, they are at risk of failing completely if left that way long term. I'd be surprised if anything else was your problem, as a fairly standard suspension setup is pretty comfortable, even when coupled with coilovers (unless they're set to maximum damping!) Get some dropped spindles, raise the beam back up to compensate and it'll be a different van. It'd be worthwhile posting some pics of everything underneath the van as people will be able to comment on whether your beam will be suitable for running with dropped spindles, and anything else worth noting.
