Out of curiosity, what air pressure do you run in the front tires?
I run my van at 60 psi front. Mine calls for 55 however I have about 400 pounds of steel bumper and winch on the front. I get better braking traction at 50 psi and it rides smoother, but at that psi I can feel the tires roll onto the sidewalls when cornering hard, and they also wear like they're under-inflated.
Since your van is much lighter on the front end, I'm not surprised that over-inflating the front tires made it feel worse, since you're decreasing the contact patch as the higher psi.
