the factory shocks on my 37ft diesel pusher are in need of replacing.
I am looking for feedback in regards to type and brands of shocks that anyone has dealt with.
thanks

What year, chassis maker and shocks do you have?

How many miles on them?

Have you checked them-- are they leaking, bushings bad or not dampening properly after a bump?

Why don't you just do a search? Lots of information from members that may not be active at this time by SEARCHING that way.

How much do you want to spend!

Road Kings are great. Very pleased with them on our Country Coach.

Koni usually has two models to choose from:
-FSD - If sized properly for your chassis, improves the ride whild
still dampening. Unique to FSD, the dampen on the rebound, vs
the compression down stroke.
-Adjustable - Just be sure it is the SP3 generation, as SP2's are
still being sold.

Bilstien - Choose carefully on these, but they are suppose to have
some new ones out with different valving.

And the, the rest like Monroe, and private label items for Sears, Wall Mart, etc.

I have found that if you call with the info on your rig and chassis, that Henderson's Lineup gives pretty good advise.

Best of luck,
Smitty

I went with Koni FSD on my Freightliner chassis and very happy with them.
