I watched that video and was not impressed with the E350 and E450 J-Ride. I am sure their add-ons do good, but I feel those extras are band-aids rather than real improvements. There has been so much discussion on how to make a Ford E350 and E450 handle best so I won't get into it again here.
Regarding the sagging issue the video mentioned, I feel the right solution is to go to the right place and get an OEM leaf or two added as needed to eliminate any rear end sag. Installing a contraption like Helwig helper springs may work, but why solve a sag with such a thing?

Isn't every RV manufacture utilizing the rubber mounts that are supplied by Ford?
Every E350 and E450 today has a front and rear stabilizer bar. They don't mention that they are replacing them with better ones.
Am I missing something? It sounds like they are stating standard items as a special package. The only exception would be the Bilstein shocks and that Helwig contraption.
