Yes it will certainly help. Three schools of thought on best shocks
Koni-great shock, very expensive
Bilsteins-very good shock, much cheaper than Koni
All the rest-O.K. shocks, cheapest replacement costs.

Koni's
I had a huge porpoising problem at bridge and concrete expansion joints. Also some excessive swaying from crosswinds. I installed the Konis with just over 20K miles on the rig. Still have that first bounce but she settles down in a hurry and most of the crosswind effect is now tolerable. W-22 chassis as well. After 3 years, they're still getting the job done. Shox.com @ $600 and change for the FSDs.

For my rig it is $ 1480.00 plus shipping from Koni. I just saw them at another place and it was around $7-800 bucks. plus shipping.
That is the "only" reason I don't have them on, Maybe Santa will be good this year.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and Travels,
Tim

Might I refer you to Brazels RV best price plus free shipping going on right now. I have no interest in this place but will order mine from here when I can afford the Konis. My old gal deserves the best.

I agree with the Bilsteins, they are the best for the price. Maybe not as good as Koni, but with lifetime warranty and much less on the cost, I believe they are the way to go. I have them on my pickup and love them.
