I had read up on FSDs years ago and recall inside they have a mechanical limiting check valve that allows hydraulic fluid to pass thru to make the shocks soft under normal conditions, but kick into heavy duty mode on demand.

I have the other Koni RV shocks, the red colored adjustable model. They are set highest, so I would imagine they are comparable to the HD Bilsteins. As an experiment with my wife driving, I laid on my back on the floor over the rear axle. There really is a lot of road vibration felt there laying on the floor. It would be great if the FSDs can reduce that. It sounds like that is what they are designed to do. A soft and heavy duty shock, all in one.
