Same problem here. Tried new monroe rv shocks, firestone airbags (tried 40 and 60 psi so far), and new tires. It might be a little better but still slams hard on the bumps. I'm skeptical on the koni fsd's, for $200 a shock I'd want a money back guarantee that I am going to be thrilled with the improvement. The research I did, some were happy, some weren't that impressed. If the leaf springs are shot, I don't see how a shock is going to fix that. My class C is a 2008 Ford E450 with 22k miles, it's never overloaded and I wouldn't have thought the leaf springs would have completely fatigued yet but maybe they have.
I was very skeptical before dumping $$ into 4 shocks but the results regarding the slamming AND swaying have convinced me. Monroe shocks, in my
opinion, haven't kept up with the new technology out there.I stopped using them on my personal vehicles years ago. Look at the
build of both shocks, the monroe verses the Koni's, there is no comparison. the results speak for themselves. Koni has been building shocks, monroe has
been bought and sold and went overseas. Like sears batteries, they were once the top of the line and now they are junk, they rely on brand loyalty instead
of performance.
