I'm thinking of putting new shocks on my 05 37" Ford Challenger that has 27,000 miles. I already have a steer safe and air bags but hope the Konis may improve my ride.
Has anyone added these shocks to their Challenger?

I put konis on my 03 Intruder 350 last fall (15k miles). The Monroe's that came standard on my coach would porpoise so bad sometimes it was plain scary. Just got back off a 3800 mile trip. The Konis stopped the porpoising completely. They seem to cut down the tail wagging dog sway somewhat. They are not a super soft ride tho. Overall they did what I wanted and would buy them again.

I installed the Koni FSD's on my '02 Challenger a year ago and was amazed by the difference. It was the best money I spent on her, well maybe after the KingDome. I highly recommend. I made the decision after reading many posts on them on RV.net.

I just finished reading an article on shocks in Motorhome Magazine. The article reccomended Bilstein over Koni by a small margine. The scoring looked at ride on rough and smooth roads along with cornering and low speed operation and included price. The Motorhome magazine was the May 2009 edition and it was a good article.
