I want to install Koni FSD's on my w22 built in Jan. 2010. All of the sites that sell Konis only show applications for chasses through 2009. I assume I have the same suspension as the '09s, but does anyone know for sure?

You could call Koni direct to find out and you can also order from them direct.

There were different rear Koni FSD shock prior to model year 2004. All the shock mounts on 2004 and newer Workhorse Chassis are the same.
There isn't any difference between a 2009 and 2010 W22 chassis.

Thanks, Driver.
I did call Koni RV and the Tech Rep I talked to didn't know the answer. The "guy who would know" is either sick or on vacation, and hasn't returned my call.

Call Jon at Brazels RV Performance or Mike at Redlands Truck Service. They will know right away.

I'm trying to smooth out the ride, especially over expansion joints, and minimize the porpoising. Sent you a PM.

You might want to first try the SumoSprings on the front as a less expensive option, see if that takes care of it for you. They are pretty simple to install (they just replace the factory yellow rubber bumpstops) and a good value. E-mail or PM me for pricing.

konis and bilstiens: I have tried both and loved the Konis. They took the tar bumps out of the ride. The Bilstiens were harsh in their ride.
Go with ther Konis.
