Hi..I was okay until I read "oemtech's" last post. I'm not at my home, and haven't found a 3/4" breaker bar yet. I don't think I will be able to do this job.I was wondering what Brazels RV Performance has to say. Thanks.lenOrge

The bolts on those are super tight,I definately recommend having someone with an impact wrench installing those for you,or just cracking those bolts loose.We had one on monday that after the bolts came loose,there was undercoating on the threads.We had to cut the bolt off and replace it.

Good price on the Bilstiens... Konis are just a bit rich for my blood. I have seen the advertise for as high as $200 per plus install.

For some the Bilstien's seem to firm. I think it depends on teh coach. For me overall they work..

I wrote on several occasions even beginning with the press releases I put up in the RV Industry News Forum that the shocks were available directly from Koni for $150.00 each. The $50 premium for the FSD technology is definitely worth it.

Are you on the road yet?

I did some checking and Bilstein's are about have price $81 per compared to $150 per. So, unless I get one heck of deal I don't plan to upgrade.

We hit the road 7 am Fri morning. Should be in Sun morning.

Drive safe!
