You definitely need new shocks all the way around. I replaced mine on my 1998 E150 and it made a world of difference.

Most folks drive with their van nearly empty. This means the rear end is relatively "light" (certain much lighter that the front) Stiffer tires will make the axle "bounce" more on rough roads. You may not feel it in the up and down motion, but the loss of tire contact with the road will gie you that side to side sway.
