I've got a 2006 CountryCoach 40' with Koni FSD.
I set them in the stiffess position.
I wander if I install Roadking it will reduce the hoping up and down.
Does someone have change from koni to roadking?
Thanks in advance

Your shocks are probably red which are the adjustables. The gold are the FSD's. The FSD's made a huge improvement on my Monaco along with the ride height adjustment as "dons2346" mentioned.

I would love to have/try the Road Kings, but with 8 shocks on my Monaco, that will never happen. I wouldn't mind buying four.

I have had Road Kings on my 2004 CC Inspire for four years. Great improvement and great ride!

First thing I would do is make sure your ride height is correct as it can cause porpoising.

I installed the FSD shocks and in 25,000 miles they rode no better than the old Konis I took off.

I then had the Road Kings installed and they made a huge difference. I wish I had spent the $$ on the Road Kings to start with.

Forget the Koni.

Koni FSD's where a big improvement on our P30 that had 23K mile Bilstein's.

The are not manually adjustable.

My Allure had factory-installed Koni FSD's which, as Brett noted, are not adjustable. The FSD's are not stout enough for the front axle weight on our coaches. I replaced the FSD's with Koni's SP3 which is their strongest adjustable shock. I adjusted them to the max firm setting and backed off one notch before installing. My coach no longer bounces or bottoms out.

I understand Road Kings are really top notch but I am satisfied with the SP3's.

Actually, Koni FSD's are NOT adjustable.

If yours are adjustable, the are the "regular" Koni shocks.
