- Designed for Freightliner XC: Tailored specifically for Freightliner air ride chassis with I-Beam front suspension, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance.
- Proven Durability: Constructed with premium materials and advanced valve engineering, these shocks withstand the toughest RV travel conditions, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing reliability.
- Outperforms Competitors: Unlike standard shocks, the Koni EVO FSD dynamically adjusts to road conditions, offering firm damping for control on rough terrain and soft damping for comfort on smooth roads, surpassing brands like Bilstein or Sachs.
