If you tow with the distance and regularity you plan to, getting your rig set up well is worth what you might spend to get it done. Ron Dittmer here had his E350 completely worked by a pro shop. Ron provided neither parts nor labor and the cost a few years ago was around $4000. This included Alignment, Shocks, Roadmaster Front and Rear Sway Bars, Safe-T-Steer and as I recall a Henderson (SuperSteer) Rear Track Bar. There ARE in-the-driveway ways to do an Alignment, but most DIY's consider Alignment above their pay grade. If you want to save some $ I'd suggest you do the Weight, Tire Pressure and Alignment steps. If you still want more, you CAN install the remaining upgrades yourself. Pricewise you can buy both sway bars in Hellwig brand (equal to Roadmaster) for about the price of one Roadmaster by shopping on line. My guess is all the parts I noted above could be shopped for best price and DIY installed for under $1500. Alignment could run up to around $200 on top of that. Just be sure all your components are good first.
