Explorer Express makes stronger sway bar kits that help take some of the 'roll' feeling out of your vehicle as you corner.
There is not enough weight difference between the 5.0 and 4.0 to make a difference on an Explorer/Mountaineer. One other thing you might want to think about is the AWD. I personally do not have much experience with the AWD on Explorers and Mountaineers, but when you have power going to all 4 instead of just 2, that can give a different seat feeling also.
Have you ever had, or has there ever been, any work to the rear suspension or axle? Could be the rearend is not riding straight, and is crooked.
Just Guesses....
