Its tme for new shocks on my 1994 HR DP I have a spartan chassie. And it seem to be swaying more these day hits hard on bumps so im guessing its the shocks. should I go with what spartan put on the RV. or should I go with Bilstein or Koni?

I can only tell you what I did. Had Monroe's on mine from the factory. I was getting some sway problems too. I replaced all eight shock with Koni shocks. Great improvement. My rig handles better and rides better in a wind.

Opinions vary, but I feel there is an improvement with koni shocks over the monroe's.

Any new shocks will be better than the old ones, but I think that better shocks will give you better performance....and either the Bilstein or Koni will be much better than OEM shocks.
