When I set the frame on jack stands and dropped the front suspension, this is what I seen on both sides. Note the top stem of the old Koni-RV shocks are showing a lot. I did not see this with the vehicle on the ground.
The play from the worn-away top-most grommet had the stem rubbing on the shock mount area, resulting in this. Thank goodness the holes in the shock support did not appear to suffer from the abrasion.
Here you can compare the hardware of Koni-RV to HD Bilstein.
Everything is much bigger on the HD Bilstein.
Here is the HD Bilstein on the passenger front.
Here is the HD Bilstein on the driver front.
