Road King Shocks

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.

They aren't gas charged. So you don't know anything about them but prefer Koni FSD's? I have replaced Bilsteins with the Koni's in the past. The Kelderman people use the Monroe's. You can read about the Road Kings on their web page. They suggest the resistance they provide keeps the wheels on the ground firmly more than the others hence more stable and comfortable ride as jolts are not transferred. I found that to be interesting as I rely on air bags or leaf springs to absorb bumps. Road Kings certainly are the most expensive.

Better than what...no shocks at all? :B
If they are gas charged, like Bilsteins and Monroe, they will tend to transfer more of the small road joint bumps back through the steering wheel to your arms. That is why I liked the Koni FSD shocks which are not gas charged which means they do not have that initial resistance.
