Maybe it's that I don't expect a rocket ship, but I find the 5.4 in my 15 passenger more than adequate. With seven people, packed to the gills with camping and rafting gear, and towing a popup it didn't struggle in the slightest with the steep southwest PA hills last summer.

Have you looked into the caster correcting trunion bearings Slee sells? Accomplishes the same thing as a cut and turn without the issues of tie rod and such. Have a set in my 80 going on two years without issue.
Planning on doing this to my roof for two reasons. 1) protect the roof from straps/buckles when hauling rafts/kayaks/paddle boards 2) to reduce temps-knew black would be hot but was surprised how fast it heats up
I'm planning on doing probably light grey. Something like monstaliner is easy to...

Price is not even close to the same IF your van has RSC. The ujoint setup is awesome, and fairly affordable on a non-RSC rig. However, with RSC you're looking at a minimum of $6500 for the axle alone to do the leaf sprung ujoint setup. Compared to potentially finding an RSC compliant coil...
