JJ, I think waiting on the shocks is wise. You can do that if you later determine it to be neccessary. I don't feel the same about a front HD sway bar. I would definitely get that now.
Admittedly we had our shocks replaced per the recommendation of our shop, but I wonder how our rig would do with everything else, minus the better HD shocks. One thing about motor homes, a softer ride is a better ride, as long as there is little to no sacrifice in handling.
I suppose I could try the mid setting on our Konis. But as you can see, I am not motivated enough to find out.
