Does anybody have any suggestions in the realm of tire replacement or
suspension mods that may help these vans ride more stable in windy
conditions

You didn't say what you're changing from.

When I bought my '85 Westy, it had (ugh!) passenger tires on it and was all
over the road in a wind.

I put Hakkapeliitta C2 tires all around and the stiff sidewalls really made
a difference.  Getting the proper load range, no matter what brand, will
really make a difference.
