Have you weighed rig for travel and then inflated tires based on weight yet?
F53 is known for stiff ride.

Same # as the ones I installed on our 2008. A friend put Monroe on his 2007 and I like the feel better than Koni (softer ride).

The bolts are 5/8", you will need 2- 1 1/16" wrenches. I used a 24" breaker bar, end wrench as back-up and also a socket.

took the shocks off... went for a ride...
running down a washboard road was night and day softer,..
I think the shocks will be an upgrade so I ordered them...
I think the real problem here is the chassis , spring set up
this is a truck chassis...and the home is mounted solid to the frame..
