Has anyone had the aftermarket suppension kit for the W22 installed on their workhorse. Did you think it was worth it?

Update: Took it in this morning for the kit so will report back after I get it back and a chance to drive it a little.

BIGDOG: which kit are you asking about??

there are several items, some from WCC parts, others from independent vendors. Then there is the all new "STABIL-AIR" which has just been released by WCC parts at around $7,000.00 installed.

I'm talking about the one for just over $600 installed that gives you the new shocks and a heavy duty rear swaybar.

Had the kit installed as part of a new motor home deal along with the Trac Bar and TruTrac. Looked like everyone was having problems and Workhorse was upgrading the chassis making the bigger swaybar and shocks standard on the some of the late '04 and '05's. I'm happy with the setup and have no handling issues.

Got it back and drove it home, about 10 miles of freeway and 5 miles of 2 lane. I notice it rides the same but can feel the bumps a little more. The big difference I noticed was coming on and off the freeway. Used to have to go real slow due to body lean. This time there was no lean. As a matter of fact I didn't realize I was going around the curve as fast as I was until the kitchen drawer flew open. A different one on and off the ramp. We are going camping this coming weekend so will get a better chance at driving it. So far I'm happy.
