Recommendations for shocks please
I'm looking to replace the rear shocks on my 1976 Glendale G30 motor home. It's one of those 50/50 (wheelbase to cabin length ratio) with dual rear wheels. Similar to many C class motor homes made up...

I imagine it would be hard to put significant money into a 43 year old rig, but I agree it would be good to re-spring your front and rear suspensions, maybe upping their rating more than OEM spec. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, shop on Rock Auto and save a big pile of money on front springs. In-general, rear leafs tend to get pricey.
I have heavy duty Bilstein shocks on our 2007 E350 and am very happy with them. I bought mine from Tire Rack at the best price I found when considering shipping and sales-tax-free.
Thanks kindly for all the suggestions. I put on new springs all around 2 years ago. Just didn't do shocks at the time. I'm not sure how much shocks really do on these rigs with 10,000 pounds sitting on the back axle. I was thinking that new rear shocks might help with the side to side sway. I'm also looking into installing a sway bar but having trouble finding any in stock anywhere in the U.S. Hellwig and Roadmaster are both sold out nation wide. Anyway,..about the shocks,.. do you think that new shocks help with side to side sway?
