If the steering damper is worn, replacing it will help. The old damper on my motorhome had apparently leaked enough oil that it had some air in it, which meant it had a certain amount of springiness before it started damping. A straight replacement damper made a noticeable difference in the steering feel. (I didn't put in a steering stabilizer, just a damper equivalent to the OEM one.)
Koni FSD shocks work very well but are not inexpensive. Installing shocks on the E series chassis is very easy in the rear and quite irksome in the front due to poor access. I found a flex head ratchet wrench and a lot of patience to be the key. There are some access holes that may or may not be useful from the passenger cabin under the floor mats; the exact location and shape of them varies with different model years, some being handier than others.
Alignment (including setting the caster to a relatively high value) probably has the potential to give the biggest bang for the buck. Weight and balance--especially having sufficient weight on the front axle--are also quite important.
