so almost done with the drive axle air bags and have decided to go ahead and replace the shocks on the drive and tag, I think that is all thats left to do. Currently the drive axle has koni on them and the tag I have no idea, still researching the part number. so question is is koni still the best shock out there for the money or has someone tried something different ?

Adam,
I have run the Koni on drive, Gabriel on tag. I have also run the Uber expensive, pain to install King shocks. I honestly can’t tell the difference.

FleetPride shocks on mine. I think on a vehicle that weighs several tons will make it hard to discern the differences in shock absorber ride quality. No complaints on the ride of my coach even though it's older than yours.

If Richard says that he can't tell the difference between them that's all you need to know. He is a suspension aficionado and done a lot of work improving the ride of their coach. He can practically run over a quarter in the middle of the road and tell you if it was heads or tails :-)

Dimes are more of a challenge………..
