Shocks

[JohnBoyToo]

Thanks for the pdf link...
I too am interested in new front shocks,
but they do not list anything for the 10 bag RR10R chassis...
Will give them a shout later...

Wipe off the bottom of your shock(s) and look for a number imprinted in the metal around the base. Armed with that number and the brand, you should be able to get the cross reference to Bilstien, or other choice of shock.

Since I just noticed, in the last few trips, the front of my coach lifting when going over a heave at speed, I ordered 4 front shocks from E-Shocks. $86.00 with free shipping.
ShockWarehouse.com was $86.90 with free shipping.
Amazon was $84.80 and maybe tax. (They come from Shockwarehouse.com)

Thanks for the part numbers, BP. That's Billy Paul for you that know him as only William Willard. He is real good at installing Monaco shocks, too. Hi BP, see you next week.

I have 60,000 miles on the Koni FSD's, so I'm not complaining. But, now I going back to the Bilsteins, like I had on the two previous coaches. If only I can remember what the FSD's were like when new, for comparison sake. Hmmm.

$86.00/Bilstien vs 149.99/Koni FSD sure helps in decision making. Motorhome magazine did a test quite a while ago using same coach and same test loop and changing only the shocks. (Bilstien, Koni, Road King, and, I believe, Sacs). The biggest bang for the buck was Bilstien. Koni was equivalent, or a tad better than the Bilstien, as I remember.

Thx for all the information. Next after I go through this coach will be new shocks, Happy! Thx for the info you all are the best help.

Pogo397;
If you contact the shock manufacturer and give them the year/make/model of your coach they will give you the p/n of the shocks for your coach.

Jim, do you know what the "setting" column means? There are two entries, B6 and B6-C with different shocks listed for each.
