Test drove a few ford E350s and a couple E450s 23 to 26 ft and both E450s slammed hard on bumps/dips even over the cracks on the freeway would get the whole rear of the MH shudder , not so much on the E350s.
But was still there..
We intentionally bought a small 24 foot Class C on the not-required E450 chassis. As a result it rides hard in the rear on highway cracks and other abrupt bumps, so I'm going to replace the rear Ford shocks with something different.
The ultimate shock is a shock with real time electronically controlled variable damping, like what are used on ultra high performance racing cars. I'm going to try these shocks that utilize real time mechanical variable damping. They may help with our E450's rear end slamming - the extra cost hopefully will be well worth it - however they do carry a lifetime warranty:
