Replacing Front Sway Bar End Link Bushings made a big difference in our 1983 E350-based Class C. OEM was worn out Rubber and NAPA was hard poly. Never changed the center bushings but I'm sure it would have helped further. E450 bars of your vintage have two problems. First, Front and Rear are both too small in diameter to provide the support a Class C requires. Second, your Front Sway Bar does not have End Links. Those came back with the 2008 re-design. The sway bar ends are poked into those bushings Bryan mentioned, pressed into holes in the axle. It may look elegant but geometry-wise it just doesn't work.
Along with Bryan, I'm an Axle Convert. A 4*4 converter shipped me a 400-lb carton on a skid and I changed it over in the driveway (with some coaching from Bryan, Thanks Again!). You could drive to Portland and get a "kit" from QuadVan.
