I chose Koni's - cost more but they changed the overall ride tremendously - much less body roll.

Thanks Jim and Nick for your response, looks like Koni's are the ones to get! Now I need to make a sign ( Fixed Income Need New Shocks for MH!!!) and hang out at the corner.

I put Bilsteins on our W20 soon after we got it and they did make a difference.

Koni is the best, most reliable, and well made. Koni uses high quality piston/seals/valving/bushings. After "doing my homework" I think they are superior and have a better service life than Blisteins!

Do you want the part numbers for the OEM Bilsteins or the aftermarket Bilsteins.
For the Koni's you can get those from www.ultrarvproducts.com "FREE" shipping I believe.
Koni Front: Koni 8805-1001
Koni Rear: Koni 8805-1002 (2004)

Call Jon to make sure.
