I am thinking about changing out my orginal Bilstein's in search of something a little less bone jarring when hitting the expansion joints on some of our routes. I understand that these are truck chassis but darn some of these roads are very rough.

Has anyone gone to the Koni's or the new Comfort Ride Bilstein's on the older model Tradewinds say 1998-2001?

texun1, Koni FSD Shocks absorbers have been quite successful in RDP applications, Roadmaster Chassis coming to mind at the moment. I expect that they will deliver an equal level of performance if you go with those. I do believe that you will be pleased with the FSD since the majority of people that have bought them are pleased with their choice.
