Yuppers.  We did it on the '03 and the 2000.  Huge improvement.

Had mine installed by Keith when he replaced my air bags. I felt like the shocks made a difference. Installed Nov 2023.

I know our coach is ten years older and not an air ride suspension, but the Koni shocks we installed last summer made all the difference in the world. Don't shy away from the higher cost per unit.  They are worth the investment.

I bought ours directly from Koni. They had the best price and their customer service was incredible. Ours shipped from Northern KY
