Koni Shocks are the Bomb!
We've followed numerous threads on the Koni shocks and finally got around to getting them installed at Spartan.
They also adjusted our ride height, and tire pressure and TPMS baselines were set to recommendation based on weight.
What a difference in the smoothness of the ride and no more porpoising!
This was our first time at Spartan. We are so happy with the service we received.

It's great to hear that Spartan service is still good, we're headed up there in a couple of weeks for our annual service. We had the same service done to ours last year and had Konis installed. We noticed the difference driving out of their driveway! A year and 15,000 miles later we still love them.

We had the Koni's installed back in 2017 and I'm still very happy with them.

Specifically, what changes and improvements are you experiencing with the Koni's? Our 22 CS rides pretty good, though not as well as we hoped and it does porpoise with certain types of bumps.

We experienced similar with our coach on freightliner XC chassis. Replaced with Koni's at about 45k miles. Smoothness of the ride, especially noticeable on abrupt roadway changes such as bridge transitions and the like. And eliminated porpoising.

We agree on the Koni shocks. We added them to our 17 with about 30K miles.
They made the ride better. Less proposing and smoother ride.

RVFun - do you feel the Koni's would improve the ride of your 22 CS? Plan to add them? Thanks

I called Spartan and they told me for our 2021 CS it was 99B-3234. You should call them to confirm.

The new coach is riding pretty good right now. But yes, I think a better shock can always make for a better ride. I have no idea what shocks are on my new coach. When the new wears off and I get some real miles on the 22 I will consider another set of Koni’s. Especially if i get the proposing like I had on the 17.
