Which Bilstein shock is best for my RV?
I have a '94 28ft Minnie Winnie. I think it's more like 30ft bumper to bumper. I see Bilstein offers two shocks - the HD and the Comfort. They say the comfort is recommended for RV's under 30ft and...

Koni FSD... I wish there were more reports out there on how well they do on Class C's. But I don't want to be one of the "early adopters" spending those big dollars on something without very many reviews. Hendersons LineUP in Oregon is a major player in the RV chassis/handling area, and they've weighed in, favoring FSD.
I recall exactly one OP here, with a Class C, who'd had FSD's installed. By Hendersons as I recall. Didn't seem all that impressed, but we don't know the circumstances/expectations involved. My personal belief is that NO SHOCK is going to be Transformational. NONE will change a box truck to a limousine. To me, it's more a matter of degrees, and for most OP's here, Bilstein delivers more incremental improvement than most.
I'm like tpi and some others here, would get Bilsen in the HD flavor. Would be willing to accept a little harshness in favor of tighter control. Right now we have 40,000 on OEM rear Ford shocks so replacement is probably overdue. Less than 5,000 miles on new OEM Ford front shocks that came with our axle upgrade, definitely not due. Think I'll order a pair of HD Bills for the rear. There's another factor at work here: How many miles on j-d... I'm starting to work toward getting major projects done while I'm still strong and flexible enough to do them...
