Best read all the previous posts,consenses seems to be Koni FSD's,would recommend getting the shocks first then the alignment.
Someone in your area will chime in for the where.

70,000 mi is early for shocks.  100K more typical.  Are they leaking?

Seem to have movement side to side and front to back.  No leaking may need to have front end checked.  Traveling man going to Wyoming in July hate to have coach driving this way for three day hard drive.

The shocks stopped that.. stiffened the ride up.. the coach moves as a unit rather than everything fighting itself
