Think I am going to change out the fronts first. We had a bit of porpoising down the road that I found uncomfortable at times. Will change out the rears later on. They are still on backorder till October. I am in no hurry though.

Bob,

If your current shocks are the red-brown adjustable Konis, you can sure try adjusting them.  The adjustment affects dampening on REBOUND ONLY.  So it does not stiffen the ride, but reduces porpoising.

Adjustment takes no tools and is described on Koni-NA's website.

Don't remember which ones Bob had.

As I recall, OE was the adjustable Konis.  The PN will be stamped on them. Red-brown color suggests adjustable.

porpoising can be a loading or weight distribution issue.

They are the original red ones. Don't think weight was a issue, fuel and water was low, bays were not full . But going down some roads it was noticable. Figure change it now is better than later.

Adjusted the oems twice,  then had the FSD Konis installed.  Fixed.  Forever warranty.  Register them with
Koni.
