Simply follow the HX numbers accordingly. I picked out a few HXs, if you need more download the HX-ALL.pdf below.

Your econoline van does NOT come with a stock camber kit and the stock adjustment is minimal as if it was not adjustable at all. Therefore, every owners MUST take the aftermarket approach and find the ones with highest possible adjustment range, simply search for camber kit so you can finetune the camber angles.
You probably don't need to get adjustable control arms.

Most alignment shops do not have the selection of adjusting sleeves that dealership is required to have.

It might cost a little more, but get it done right the first time. Worth considering.

If you are running Michelin tires on the front, consider changing to a different brand,

The muffler and exhaust pipes are right under that area and if there is not enough clearance between the floor and exhaust system, that might be something to check.
