Yes, the VIKs contain a wealth of information. It's a shame they don't publish them any more.

I finally got back to thinking about the suspension issue. And it finally warmed up around here.

Some reference pictures of the front suspension:

I was wondering about you.

I was thinking more of a pic of the whole van, similar to the very first pic you posted, but more straight on. I could get a better feel if it "looks" right. Your pics with the tape measure work great if someone else has one, or one of a similar year. But it doesn't compare with my '16, and this is my first full sized van.

I finally found the time to take a picture of the stance. To me, it appears the front is 1-1/2 to 2 inches low.

The front suspension hits the bump stops after going over a shopping center speed bump at a walking speed.

You're right, it looks off a bit. But could it be that the rear is high, versus the front being low? It looks to me like it is.
