Koni FSD Quad Shocks front and rear or both?

I am wondering if anyone has installed Super Steers Koni Quad Shock kit on their Winnebago ? Front or rear or both.
Ive already done front and rear 1-3/4" sway bars which work great as well as steering stablizer.
I"d like to soften up the ride a bit on my 2017 Vista LX 35b.

Shocks work to slow movement of the springs. That means that instead of the springs moving three inches the shock slows the movement so that they only move two inches. Then on rebound they slow that and eliminate the continual up and down or what many call "porpoising". Installing shocks actually stiffen the ride and quad shocks will stiffen it even more. Just as larger sway bars limit movement of a single wheel up and down and contribute to a more controlled ride, stiffer sway bars and double shocks limit movement and effectively give a stiffer but more controlled ride.

The softest ride you can get will be allowing the spring to move the maximum amount possible when encountering a bump, but then controlling the bounce after that happens. That is where the balancing act comes in, "single shocks - double shocks", "softer shocks - firmer shocks", "more comfort - more control". Personally I prefer a coach that handles well, but does not have so harsh a ride that I feel all the road imperfections and my coach and furnishings get all rattled apart on poor roads and bridge abutments, etc.
