We had 2 F53 chassis, a 99 and 2001. On both of them, the builder had designed some of the heavy components over and/or behind the rear axle, one being the 75 gal fresh water tank. This left the front axle in an unloaded condition. I ended up putting several hundred lbs in the furthest forward compartment and that seemed to load the suspension a little so you felt the road, but it was not like a concussion shock on the tar cracks in the road, when the suspension had no weight on it. I also went to the Monroe RV shocks. I did try the Koni's on one of the rigs and they helped also, but much more expensive than the Monroes. Hope this may help, have a great day. Happy Trails. Bert
