Almost all SUV's have a higher center of gravity than a standard car. 
If your van feels tipsy, it is probably time to get new shocks...You 
may also need to get new springs (21 year vehicle, think about it.)

I know that when the springs and shocks were replace in my Syncro Westy 
it felt WORLDS better (yes, I went to stiffer springs and shocks....but 
the old ones were so worn, it was unsafe anyway.)
