I'll have to get under and see what it has now for shock absorbers, I see it came with "Bilstein" brand for what ever that's worth.  What ever is there works well as far as bad bumps.  One bounce and its steady.

I have Bilsteins on my VW Jetta.  They are extremely tough, but when you hit a bump, you sure know it.  I have read the same about the Bilsteins installed on motorhomes.  The nice thing about Bilsteins is that the ones on my car can be rebuilt.  I don't know if that is across the board with them.

Orange Konis were the factory build all the way back to the early 90s.

The GOLD Koni FSDs are what are used now for new coaches and recommended for replacement on all UNICoach/Home models.

I have them on the front only on mine and they help...
