Koni Shocks
I know this question has been answered before but can't seem to locate the answer. I have a 2008 Essex with a K2 Spartan chassis. I'm looking at replacing all four shocks. The general consensus tell me that Kona is the best shock out there for ride comfort. Can anyone steer me to a good supplier for Kona shocks for Spartan chassis. A part # would be a bonus.
Thank in advance, for everyone's help.

I'm sure you're referring to Koni shocks even though you wrote Kona.
One of the more popular sources for Koni shocks for large motorhomes is Ultra RV Products:

Just call Spartan, give them your vin# and they will tell you what number Koni you need for your coach. They also sell Koni and will ship to you.

Shocks for 2008 Essex
Thanks, everyone for your help. Called Spartan and per their recommendation, I ordered 2 Koni shocks for front and 4 Bilstein shocks, for rear drive axle and for the tag. Spartan price were actually better then anybody's price, I could find.
