Best bang for the buck E-450 suspension upgrade

I have 2016 28 foot Coachmen class C based on the Ford E-450 chassis. It drives fine, no serious complaints but tends to be tiring for long distance driving, I'll be putting a few thousand miles on...

Shocks. The biggest heavy duty ones you can buy. Bilstein or Koni.

E-Series vans are "hard" on ball joints. I think I am on my third set in only 130,000 miles.

Also, ALL E-series vans have a tendency to "wander" when driving straight down the highway. This is why you are tired. Addition caster will help, but there is no caster adjustment built in the front end. A GOOD front end technician will install offset bushings. Go for the MAXIMUM !
