Front and rear tires cupping inside
About 7k miles ago I put on 4 new Bilstein shocks and a rear sway bar. Now my front tires are cupping on inside and the tears are doing the same. Running 265 65 16 Cooper discovery at. Had both upper and lower ball joints done last year and had it aligned. Front wheels have a small amount of up and down movement in them but nothing I think is a worry.
Any thoughts.

Post pics of the wear pattern. Not sure what you mean by cupping.
Tires will wear from simply not rotating them.
I got the exact same tires you did, just about 7,000 miles ago and noticed some feathering.
I don’t think your shocks nor sway bar could cause tire wear at all, much less in 7500 miles.

Also, these vans are critical about tire pressure. Check the door tag to see what the recommended pressures are. Most tire stores will under inflate them.
Also, even the half ton vans spec XL (Extra-Load) rated tires. If these are standard, P series, tires they are likely to be over loaded.

That said tire pressure is something that should be checked regularly, if the tires are badly over or under inflated uneven tire wear will occur.
