installing rv shocks

I am planning to install some shocks on my rv this winter, hoping they help smooth out the ride as we have noticed since upgrading to the sailun tires it rides a bit rougher.

So my question is those who have done this, did it help? did you buy a kit? I see lippert has a kit which is about $125 per axle with shocks, has anybody used this one?

    That's exactly what I did on our last TT. Made an amazing difference to feeling road irregularities like expansion joints.
  • I put sailun tires on and it road smoother with my trailer. iam going to put some shocks on this spring also

    Don't know anything about the LCI kit, but the cream of the crop, and what I'll choose when the time comes, is a Joy Rider shock kit. http://www.rvimprovementsystems.com/joy_rider.html
