    Has anyone replaced shocks on the F53 chassis?  I am considering replacing the standard Bilstein Shocks with the Koni FSD shocks to help smooth the ride over  road and bridge expansion joints.

    James,

     Seeing that you are out West, I suggest you contact  Henderson's Lineup  and/or their parts online at "Supersteer" and make a possible road trip to them in Oregon. They know there stuff! Remember the Ford F-53 is a truck chassis and while the Koni's will help tune out some road vibration, it will still thump when you hit an expansion joint or bridge seams bad roads will still feel like bad roads!. but it won't porpoise and bounce excessively and you retain better control of your coach!

    IMHO

    Thanks for the information Dan.  It looks like you've done suspension mods to your coach.  I"ll checkout Supersteer.
