If you want to replace one item at time I suggest the a steering stabilizer first. Anti-sway bars and shocks will make significant improvement in this area in addition to the steering stabilizer.
The Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A and C Motor Homes, # RM-RBK24-RSSC is a confirmed fit for the 2022 Ford E-Series Cutaway in either V8 or V10 engine option. The sturdy steel spring on this stabilizer keeps your vehicle in line by constantly working to maintain its position. Mount it between the steering mechanism and the chassis for a tight connection that will minimize wander and correct oversteering compensating and returns your vehicle to center.
For the 2022 Ford E Series chassis with either V8 or V10, I suggest the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-176. This has a diameter of 1-3/8" and constructed of thick 4140 chromoly steel for superior strength over that of the OEM installed bar. It is not just the slightly increased diameter of the aftermarket anti-sway bar over that of the OEM that improves handling, but that of the 4140-steel used and the improved polyurethane bushings. This is a confirmed fit to your 2022 Ford E Series chassis. This will minimize sway and driver fatigue by improving the stability and drivability of your motorhome. The bar on this sturdy, effective anti-sway system mounts to the front axle and to the frame to balance weight transfer and reduce body roll.
For the rear of vehicle, I suggest the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar, # RM-1139-147. This is a 1-1/2" diameter bar constructed with the same 4140 chromoly steel and polyurethane bushings as that of the recommended front antisway bar. This includes heavy-gauge mounting hardware, easy-to-follow instructions and bushing lubricant. This attaches to the rear axle and to chassis using the weight of axle to brace frame in turns and is engineered to avoid interference with most popular aftermarket add-ons and accessories.
I've attached links to product review and installation videos that will hopefully assist you in making an informed decision on enhancements. Many folks choose to add airbags or helper springs and this will help with ride quality especially on the the interstate but, I suggest you go with steering stabilizer and anti-sway bars first, then evaluate needed/wanted enhancements afterwards.
Happy Camping and please follow-up with any additional questions.
