Road King Shocks
Does anyone have experience with Road King Shocks. They promise better ride and stability.

I do NOT have any first hand experience with Roadkings, nor do I have any dampening forces specs on them.
Total dampening force and dampening force on compression vs extension is really the only reasonable way to compare (other than longevity).
For the majority of motorhomes, the best ride/handling is for the vast majority of the dampening to be done on EXTENSION.
Said another way, dampening on COMPRESSION adds to "effective spring rate"-- read that it RIDES ROUGHER. Dampening on extension does NOT make the ride harder, but controls bouncing, so handling is better.
Get the FACTS and let us know.
