Buying products from our advertisers is always a good thing and it keeps the lights on in this forum!

Buying parts from a stocking dealer also goes a long way toward supporting small business. Buying from a drop ship URL can save a few bucks but I would rather pick up the phone and talk to Jon.

Konis arrived UPS this morn. Had them on in two hours went for a 20 mile test drive. I had to look around to make sure I was driving the same coach. Handles & drives beautiful. What a difference wish I had done this years ago.

I would have been happier I am sure, the fronts are FSD's but the rears
are the red adjustables.
I spoke with a person at Henderson Line-Up while at Camping World about the reds because I was sold the FSD's for the rear and the reds were being installed.
I asked about the adjustment on the red shocks and was told it should be it the center to start with, I relayed this to the Service Manager and he let the tech know....I always thought the shocks were not adjusted from the soft position they are set at from the factory.
Sure enough during Spring break I was able to get my unit in the shop and checked them out, not adjusted at all.
Thanks for crappy service CW, I set them to full hard and like it much better, most times I will be towing a 20ft trailer with a RZR and two Sportsmans so want better suspension control.

Our front Koni's (red-adjustable) came set in the middle position, a while ago I set them to their lowest (softest) setting. Have the FSD's on the rear.

I checked the old Sacks for resistance and I was very easily able to push them in and out with out any trouble and I'm a weak old man

How much torque did you use on the shock bolts?

150 ft. lb. on everything except lower eye on rear shock Koni calls for 74 ft.lb.on that one

Air ride still requires shock absorbers.

Do you have any other suspension upgrades? Where the shocks fairly easy to install? Where did you get them from?
Thanks

We also need new shocks...how do you figure out which ones are the best for your rig?

You can call Mike at Redlands or Jon at Brazels with your year, make and model and they will tell you which Koni FSD shocks you need.

Koni has a 20% off sale going on right now, I think until 5/31/12.
