View 2018 suspension upgrade

[Dougherzog]

I put the Sumo springs on already and just ordered the Hellwig antisway kit. I want to order shocks and struts now. Is Bilstein, Koni, or Fox recommened? Any size input would help. Thanks a lot, all.. Doug

I did a similar upgrade to my 2019 Winnebago Navion 24D. I used Koni FDS rear shocks model 8805-1056 @$157 each from Shock Warehouse. I've attached my write-up from 2019 with all the details. I'm quite happy with the Koni's, but there are other good options.

Careful with "Shock Warehouse". They have the lowest price online but are well known for taking money and not shipping. If you do a search on irv2.com you'll see lots of issues there.

I put Koni FSD shocks on my Class A. They are fine. Not earth shattering improvement but some improvement.

Things is, every chassis is different so my 26,000 lb Class A is totally different than some other RV and my experience doesn't really translate to others.

I did the same thing as Skylake on the 2016 View that I bought three years ago: Sumos; Hellwig and Konis. Made a huge difference.

Good reply's everyone. I did just put on the Hellwig antisway bar. That and the Sumo springs really, really helped. I am so glad I did the two upgrades. I checked into Fox shocks but the lead time for delivery is way out there, like six months or so. Wow. Just got back on a 1350 mile trip to Cuyahoga Valley national park. Couldn't be happier about the ride. Thank you so much. PS. I will probably order the Fox shocks later this year.

The Consensus is that Fox makes the most difference, I installed Bilstein on my sprinter Vita and noticed immediate difference. The Sumo and Hellwieg bar are absolutely awsome.
