The shock is NOT a spring. It is a dampening fixture to slow down spring movement, but not restrict it.
I am not sure if they still make them, or if they would even have one for a motorhome, but I put 4 edelbrock IAS shocks on my 1997 ford f150 and my 2000 chevy astro van and the difference from stock was amazing. They are designed to stop body roll when cornering, but ride smooth over bumps.
