At the time, there was significant discussion here on RVnet about Koni FSD, vs Bilstein, and at that time, the consensus was pretty strong toward Koni having a much better/softer ride than Bilstein. I run FSDs on my coach. I found they have almost no compression damping, which makes for a really soft ride. The handling control is from the rebound damping. Have you ever weighed the coach? Maybe it is just too light for a W22.Daveinet wrote:It's on the Workhorse chassis
My guess is the stiff ride you are complaining about has nothing to do with the shocks. Even though your profile does not state it, I would be willing to bet your coach is on a Ford chassis. If I'm right, that should tell you a lot about why the ride is harsh.

This is also why a lot of Ford chassis MHs lean to the passenger side.
