Here is a blog about porpoising and you can feel good because it talks about the koni's FSD shock.

Like another post I said the Koni's helped with the slam over the bridge joints and major cracks in the road.
BUT so did the Bilstein's and had I gone with them I'd have close to $300 in my pocket.
The place where I had my alignment done stated how the koni's were designed to work as you described...Rebound BUT I'll take a front end NOT diving down every time I hit a dip in the road over the uneasy feeling of the knoi's .. They sell both the Bilstein's and Koni's But I think they were a little bias, the co-owner was wearing a jacket with a koni patch on it... lol

I'll leave the koni's on the rear, but I see in the near future swapping the konis FSD's out for Bilstein's in the front..

I read the article in the link you gave above and it did speak highly of the Koni FSD shocks.

The article also stated that porpoising seems to be more predominate in short motorhomes ... which is exactly what I have ... but for some reason I've never noticed any of this effect that is described in the article.

What I did notice was the pounding in the rear due to my overkill chassis, and the FSD shocks did help with this. I hope the FSD shocks do the same for the stiff front coil springs when the OEM front shocks finally - if ever - wear out. I really can't see how adding stiff shocks to leaf or coil springs that already may be too stiff can help with cracks and potholes.
