In-general, E350s are shorter rigs with short wheel bases and long rear over-hangs. I own a 2007 E350 with such a condition so I know exactly what you are experiencing.
You did not mention the year of your E350 chassis. The 2007 model year is the last year Ford did NOT install a rear stabilizer bar on the E350. Even if you have a Ford-OEM stabilizer bar, changing both the front and rear stabilizer bars to heavy duty versions will do wonders for handling. There is more you can do but I would start there along with proper tire pressure. If you are handy with basic tools, you can buy both bars on the internet and install them yourself to save some serious money. The Helwig brand will be your best value.
