We discovered they are not. The crappiest welds hold the mounts on the front. And my guess was bumpsteer Digz? Whatever they did, all they did was bend the spring pins. We flipped the pins over when we flipped my axles today. What a pain to get them out.
Heres a quick before/after. After is on top. I measured, got about 4.25" in the back and 4.5 in the front. The front needs to go down a bit, looks a little like it leans back. But has a quarter inch of rake. Not enough though.

Thanks guys!
Wheelie-I'm not home at the moment. I just moved into a new apartment and college is starting. My van is an hour away at home with my parents. So whenever I get a chance to go down there I'll post up pictures. We made the bracket for the front with my brothers cnc plasma table and will probably start selling them as kits if anyone is interested.
Dodge man- will do! This van ain't going back up and WILL be street driveable. I'll do anything it takes, so I'll keep you posted on what we do!
