Note that Ultrarvproducts, is using the Source Engineering Comfort Control Valves, as part of their kit.
#KONI RV SHOCKS INSTALL#
I noted while at their shop for a FASS pump install on our CAPS era ISL, that they used Koni FSD's on their RR8R kit (Yep, one was being installed on a coach during my visit:)!). Jon and Alan have a good reputation for putting kits together for all kinds of handling issues on various coaches. As I recall, they worked with Bilstein on a shock with unique valving 'tuned' to the RR8R suspension.Īnother good source, is UltraRVProducts. So I'd suggest you call and talk with Scott at Source Engineering on their kit.
#KONI RV SHOCKS MOD#
Same with the RR8R too, one gent was having their kit installed when I was in doing their Wax Valve mod and replacing the Super Steers Motion Control Units with the Source Engineering Comfort Control Valves (Both are air check valves, but SE controls in one direction only, so does not add to road harshness transfer.). That being said, I have no first hand info on these chassis.īut, I know owner's of Monaco's, especially the 4 bagger, that were very pleased with what Source Engineering put together to help their handling problems. I read lots of things about RV's on lots of forums, and had Monaco Models with RR8R (And S and 10 bagger too.) on our short list when shopping. Ours are the original Bilsteins, and by the feel from the last trip its about time to replace them. Have you stumbled upon anyone recommending shocks for Roadmaster Chassis (8 air bag) or know of someone that installed a specific brand over another? Koni was another consideration that has crossed my mind but you are the first person to recommend Road King. You now struck my curiosity on the overall quality of the Road King shocks. Smitty, that was a very detailed and excellent response. And the Adjustable SP2's, while a bit stronger then the SP1's, I did not feel would give me the handling I desired. Koni did not recommend the then popular FSD (Gold) shocks for my IFS. (I do have 2 1/2" Road Kings in all positions. But I believe most owner's will be very pleased with the combo of the EVO "99's" and Adjustable SP3's.
If you really want to spend some coin, you could go Road Kings all around. OP - I'd suggest researching a combo of Koni EVO "99's" for the Steers, and Koni Adjustable SP3's for the Drive and Tag position.
Popular shocks today for IFS Country Coaches are: Koni Adjustable SP3's, Koni EVO '99's', and Road King's (Some years CC's will only fit a Road King 2 1/2" diameter, vs their newer 3" Diameter.).
(My 04 40' Allure, had the same exact Koni Adjustable SP1 shock I had put on a 98 18K pound F53 Straight Beam Chassis.). I know Allures from around 2004, came OEM with Koni Adjustable SP1's, which Koni 'suggested' to National (Owner's of CC at that time.), would not be able to support the IFS on the 40' + coaches. I can't say for all CC's, but since the OP has a 42' Allure - that would make it a coach from the mid 2000's range. That Koni is the only company that makes a shock that will fit? Has anyone ever heard that CC is equipped with Koni shocks.
