JR67 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Hello all, Is there any reason NOT to try and put motorhome Bilsteins on the rear of my 18ft 1980 model? I see that the shocks that I have(Monroe Airmax) have a range of around 21" to 13" and are listed for 1979 to 1983 models, and the Bilsteins are listed for 1985 to 1994 models and have a 22" to 14" range(fully extended to fully compressed). The mounting bushes are 5/8" or around 16mm for all models so the mounting pattern and the one inch longer length at fully compressed state are the only difference. Or am I missing something? I know my 18ft Toy is not as heavy as the longer ones, but I also do not want to buy shocks that are only rated for pickup trucks since the Monroes are heavy duty and don't perform at all. Thoughts?

linda s Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Find a dealer that will let you return them. Worth a try if you can. Monroe shocks suck heavy duty or not. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR67 Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Haha thanks Linda. I was hoping to find them cheaper on line but you got a point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
