I can't bring up the Beam Alarm web page but other places I've read that for '96 - '04 FT's without a tag axle the Koni shock number is 8805 1010, and for the tag itself Koni 8805 1011.
Are all 8 shocks on 1996 - 2004 FTs the same without a tag axle?
Yes
Thanks Bob. I'm going to order 8 of the 8805 1010's.
This is confusing; http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm?mode=results&selected_model=30520&selected_year=2003
A quick search of the forum says "yes"
Are the rear of the Oshkosh 917, the same as the fronts? Those cheap ebay Bilsteins are sweet on the front but I haven't got back under the rear to get a good look. I would hope that the rates are higher in the back .
The 250 cat ored shocks were too soft. The 300 cat later shocks were too stiff. I swapped them. Fixed. Thirty years ago,
Bilstiens always seemed soft.
Regular Gabriel's which I think were the oem might be available still. Think I saw them somewhere
Do they fit both ends of the coach? Thanks,Bob
I have these on the front and they are pretty good rates.

If your shocks are 16" long with 1" pins Gabriel shows a gas shock for the Oshkosh
89422 GasSLX Shocks
Look in their commercial listings.
They made shocks for everything and everyone it seems
