The cheap "fix" doesn't apply to E-350 or E-450 as used on Axis and Vegas, or on most Cutaways.
I don't agree shipping has much to do with anything even if it's an F53 chassis. The CHF may be cheap (as in free), but it comes at other costs (trade offs). Ford engineers don't have the luxury of increasing roll stiffness at all costs. It's not that simple, otherwise they would install sway bars twice as big around -- cost would be minimal. But from an "overall design and performance" standpoint it would not work well.
Owners who do CHF are primarily focused on eliminating body roll only. I'm certain Ford chassis engineers tune chassis for an overall compromise given what they have to work with.
