Put the Koni FSD's on my Class A due to lots of enthusiastic posts. Minor improvement, but nothing to get excited about.
Had a 2005 E450 with 5k miles that was having tracking problems after 3 alignments. Bought Monroe Magnums for the front. A front end shop was set to install them, but determined the installed shocks were good and not the problem. Replacing the front tires with steering design fixed. The shop did say that the front shocks were a real bear to install. Didn't sound like replacing the fronts would be a DIY job unless you're prepared to sacrifice a good bit of skin and blood. Lots of exposed screw ends and difficult access.
May be easier in later year models - don't know.
