1989 Winnebago Cheiftain 31 front shock options?

[rnbenson39]

My Winnebago 31rq has shocks with the springs on them, do I need to replace with the same shock? Have the air bags up front also. Shocks are done with, as front really bounce,s, but don,t bottom out. Was thinking I could just use a heavy duty shock. Thanks

You'll want to go with Monroe Gas Magnum RV shocks...not those crappy spring over shocks.

You have a Chevy P30 chassis, and there are a lot of us who have replaced the shocks.  Do a message search.  If you have the Mor/Ryde tag axle, the info for the extra pair of shocks is on here somewhere as well.

Well I'm going to recomend Gabriel Ultra/Shock - Front. I've had nothing but problems from some others. Or KYB shocks. When I was doing the research when I had the Itasca, I found a web site out west that did suspension mods and they recomended Bilsteins, but said Gabriels were right up there, except the price. They sold both suspension kits, both put on or shipped. Autozone can get either shock but Gabriels are less than 1/2 the price # $40.00 each.
