I could not believe how bad they were until I was able to remove them. One up front and one in the back were completely shot. The other two were hardly retracting. Basically, I had no shocks on 12,500 lb vehicle and the factory stop bumps were non existent as well. With Sumo's and new Billstein HD in place I finally started enjoying the ride but the sway was still there. I guess I was not paying attention to that before since the spring helpers and shocks were so bad but now I could clearly experience the sway and MH body movements. So, I just received the Safe-T-Plus stabilizer (31-140) with mounting kit (E-353K14) and front Hellwig sway bar (7718). That is my tomorrow's project.
Now, I have a question here. Should I consider getting the Hellwig sway bar for the rear as well? Will that upgrade inprove the ride and handling even more?

get the rear hellwig sway bar, especially since 60% of your body weight is in the rear.
The stock ford shocks were junk. I just threw them in the trash, not even worth trying to recycle or resell. Same with the ford OEM stabilizer bars.
I just used the hellwig steering stabilizer since it was cheaper and I was getting tired of putting money into the RV at that point. It works well for me but others seem to like the safe-t-plus version.
