Make sure they don't mooooove on you when you take them off.

Sorry Mike - couldn't resist.

I can't compare any of the 3 for you, but I will say that I replaced the stock shocks with Koni FSD's and saw a substantial improvement, particularly on rough expansion strip bumps. But, hey, it is still a motorhome on springs, no airbag suspension here.

If you change them yourself, good luck on loosening the old bolts. None of mine would come off with a 1/2" IR 600 ft-lb impact wrench, and I couldn't get my breaker bar to swing. I ended up using a combination 1 1/8" wrench with a floor jack as my strong arm.
