Just had 4 Koni shocks installed on the rig....WHAT a difference !!!!
Took away the rocking and rolling about 98%....Expensive but worth it...

What the heck are Koni shocks?
How much are they? They seem to address problems I have with my rig.

I used to think people were nuts when they put new shocks on new vehicles until I did it.
i had a lot of wobble, so I was going to do it all at once, tires, shocks, rear stabilizer, and steering stabilizer.
Well I did the tires and shocks and never had to do the stabilizers, it cured all my problems.
So now as soon as I get a vehicle I look for the best shocks available, and it always changes the ride for better, and the ride is what it's all about.

All 4 cost (in round figures) $1000.00 installed. I also had valve extenders put on the rear wheels.

I put the Koni's on mine and it made a huge difference also. I paid about $130 @ from LTB Motorsports. They are easy to install. I believe the FSD is the only model available for the Kodiak chassis. I agree they get rid of most of the front to back and side to side rocking and rolling. Money well spent.

They were the newest ones on the market....I don't recall the exact model. I know I paid a lot for them but I do not have the tools or the ability to install them myself. Anyway...it was worth it to improve the handling and ride.

Same here, added the Koni FSD's to my rig. Though I did not have the swaying issue that most complain about, it did improve the ride and reduce the rocking. Money well spent.
