			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Questions (over one weekend): I have a Dodge motor home jamberee. It is a 1979 F40 I can&#8217;t find the model  any where. i need front and rear shocks. The front shocks have 2 bolts on  bottom and 1 nut on top. The rears have 1 big bolt top and bottom. Do you  have a # for me I need a picture of the shock to match up.</p>
<p>Second question more info I have a 1979 van type class c motor home.  f40  I found the bilstien Shock # f4-b46-0925-HO It looks like the correct shock.  Is Monroe # 555037 front and 555038 rear a good shock for the truck. the  front axle wt. is 3660 lb. The total GVW is 10600. I hope you can steer me in  the right direction.</p>
<p>This is my third email on the dogde moter home F40 I have more info. The  front shock is the type for the b350 but the size is 18&#8243;<br />
extended from tip to  tip 13&#8243; at its smallest. The rear is 22&#8243; extended and15&#8243; at its smallest.  The rear has a bolt to hold it top and bottom. Looks like the shock for the  B350. Waiting for help before I buy.</p>
<p>Answer:</p>
<p>It looks like The Monroe Gasmagnum part number 555038 will fit your RV in  the rear, it has a collapsed length of 12.875&#8243; and an expanded of 21&#8243;. The  555037 has a collapsed length of 10.125&#8243; and an expanded of 15.625&#8243;, BUT it  sounds like you might be measuring different than monroe is, they measure  shocks from the center of the eyelet to the BASE of the stud, not the tip, which may mean that your measurement was  a couple inches longer than theirs and the 555037 might fit.  You can see  the technical sheet for those shocks, along with the exact measurements of  the mounting points, here:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Model: 1993 Monaco Dynasty</p>
<p>What is your driving style: Luxury Driver</p>
<p>Vehicle Setup: Rear Wheel  Drive</p>
<p>Suspension Type: Regular Shocks or Struts</p>
<p>Question: Your website lists two different parts for my 1993 Monaco Dynasty motorhome, but Bilstein only lists one, why do you have one with an R at the end?</p>
<p>Answer:  Bilstein actually lists the same Heavy Duty part for your motorhome, F4-BE5-F629-H0, for both the <a href="http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm?mode=results&amp;selected_model=30543&amp;selected_year=1993" target="_blank">front and the rear shocks on a 1993  Monaco Dynasty RV</a>. We add the R to the end of the shock so that customers don&#8217;t get confused and think that there is only a front or a rear available for their motorhomes.  The shocks actually are the same and all eight that you order will be the same part number, the R is only used by shockwarehouse.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Model: 1995 Ford E250 Motorhome<br />
What is your driving style: Normal  Driver<br />
Vehicle Setup: Rear Wheel  Drive<br />
Suspension Type: Regular Shocks or  Struts</p>
<p>1995 E250  class B econoline van motor home by  coachman, not a dual  wheel,  351 motor. the front end sag i need a heavy duty shock  to help   it from sagging so much plz help thanx</p>
<p>The best choice for eliminating front end sag is not shocks, while shocks<br />
are capable in many cases of giving you extra support, a much better<br />
solution to your problem would be an airlift 1000 kit, which is an airbag<br />
that works along with your factory springs to support the front of your van.<br />
You can air up the airlift kit like a traditional airshock by using any air<br />
compressor.  You can see that part here:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Model: HOLIDAY RAMBLER ENDEAVOR<br />
Year: 2002<br />
Chassis Designation: 8 BAG MONOCO<br />
What is your driving style: Normal Driver<br />
Vehicle Setup: Rear Wheel Drive<br />
Suspension Type: Regular Shocks or Struts</p>
<p>Question:</p>
<p>31,000#  LOOKING AT MONROES (EXISTING) 557034 / 035  . BILSTEINS  ?? YOU ARE WELCOME TO GIVE ME YOUR ADVISE &amp; PRICE. LOT OF NEGATIVES ON BILSTEINS ON THE FOROMS [TO STIFF] THANKS</p>
<p>Answer:</p>
<p>The Bilsteins are a heavy duty shock, so they will be stiffer than the Monroes, but will give you more control over the RV, especially at highway speeds and on rough roads.  The parts we have equivalent to your Monroes are the  F4-BE5-B402-H0 in the front and  F4-BE5-B403-H0.  Those parts and the Monroes you have right now aren&#8217;t designed for the 2002 Endeavor chassis, they are only recommended for 2004+ roadmaster shassis with 8 airbags, but if the Monroes are working for you, the Bilsteins will fit.<br />
You can see all of those parts here:<br />
