I don't know about the newer E450 chassis, but my chassis year 2005 E450 under our Winnebago Itasca came new with these items - which on our small (24 ft) Class C are completely adequate as is:
Rear Sway (a torsion bar)
Front Sway (a torsion bar)
Steering Stabilizer (a horizontal shock absorber)
However, maybe a larger Class C coach would require different after-market versions of the above, or maybe new E450 chassis come stock from Ford with different designs of what mine has on it.
In addition, due to our situation of a small Class C on the heavier duty E450 instead of the normally adequate E350, I had to use somewhat uncommon shocks on the rear to help reduce the stiff ride back there from the light weight coach.
