Also you should consider a rear track bar that locks the coach rear axle to the frame and prevents tail wag in the wind or caused by passing trucks. Makes a really, really significant difference in handling. We no longer get blown around by passing trucks.
I'll still be considering the track bar -- but I may wait until a more lengthy trip to see if the current set-up is sufficient or if I need to pursue that angle.

As for the shocks, I wonder what I have? They are definitely not the blue/yellow that you say is OEM...unless Bilstein makes a shock that is black. We're the first owners.
