BTW - to fit an F-series dually axle, I don't think the frame would need to be chopped. Just the inner fender. That is the limiting constraint for axle width when running as a dually. My tires barely...

Add a rear sway bar. BTW - i'm considering only the extended vans at this point. The regular vans do not understeer as bad. In fact, some RB vans need a larger front sway bar so they won't oversteer....

The E-series cutaway axles are wider than the equivalent F-series axle.

(DRW cutaway dimensions):
F350 = 71"
E350 = 73.2"
F450/550 = 74"
E450 = 77.7"

The stock van axle is 66.4"

The F550 axle is narrower than would work on the vans, if you keep it as a dually. It would have to be singled.

I really see little benefit of running it. You'll have substantially more un-sprung...
