Class C rattles teeth when hitting bumps.

Same problem here. Tried new monroe rv shocks, firestone airbags (tried 40 and 60 psi so far), and new tires. It might be a little better but still slams hard on the bumps. I'm skeptical on the koni fsd's, for $200 a shock I'd want a money back guarantee that I am going to be thrilled with the improvement. The research I did, some were happy, some weren't that impressed. If the leaf springs are shot, I don't see how a shock is going to fix that. My class C is a 2008 Ford E450 with 22k miles, it's never overloaded and I wouldn't have thought the leaf springs would have completely fatigued yet but maybe they have.

I was very skeptical before dumping $$ into 4 shocks but the results regarding the slamming AND swaying have convinced me. Monroe shocks, in my

opinion, haven't kept up with the new technology out there.I stopped using them on my personal vehicles years ago. Look at the

build of both shocks, the monroe verses the Koni's, there is no comparison. the results speak for themselves. Koni has been building shocks, monroe has

been bought and sold and went overseas. Like sears batteries, they were once the top of the line and now they are junk, they rely on brand loyalty instead

of performance.

I hear what your saying, but I still think if they are going to charge $200 per shock there ought to be a money back guarantee if your not happy. My last truck was a 2007 dodge ram 2500 diesel 4x4 that we used to pull a travel trailer we had before we got the class c we have now. It rode pretty rough which was expected with a 4x4 2500 diesel truck. On some of the forums I used to visit regarding dodge trucks, many people were raving about how the bilstein shocks greatly improved the ride of the truck, that the stock shocks were junk and the bilsteins made the ride so much better. I bought into it and paid a bunch of money for the bilstein shocks, only to find that I couldn't really tell a difference in the ride over the stock shocks that everyone said were junk. I'm a little skeptical now when people say a shock is going to majorly transform the ride of anything. And for $200 a shock, it should be a major transformation.

Plus, back to the original point, if the leaf springs are shot, how is any shock going to fix that?
