Koni FSD shocks

Volk, yup, nothing simple. Every time a person thinks they have it figured out …….

Don.  Sometimes your the windshield, sometimes your the bug.

Very true!

Who knows what changed between 2007 and 2014 when my chassis was built.    I don't know if the 2350 is built on a lengthened chassis or not, but whoever does the chassis lengthening, *should* also update suspension components such as shocks and sway bars.   I can't tell you if they did or didn't, but after close to 70,000 miles on my 2015 model 2551, I have zero problems with sway, most crosswinds, passing or being passed by semi's or road bounce.   So whoever had my shocks and sway bars upgraded or just what was installed at the assembly line seems fine to me.

I do plan on looking into new front shocks over the winter.  Plain and simple, 75,000 miles (what I will have on it by then) seems 'about time'.  I don't have any visible leakage, no front end bounce, etc.  I will replace with Monroe which have always given me good service over the years.

I once calculated my approximate total driving mileage, it's well over a million miles and never had a shock failure like others in this thread have had.

Obviously, others have different opinions... And that's OK.

It has been my observation that models 2551 and 2552 are the best balanced PC models.  They draw the least complaints from their owners with regards to handling issues.  The worst handling PC models are the shortest ones where there is so much rear over-hang compared to the wheel base.  But I also feel that every PC regardless of model, will benefit from heavy duty stabilizer bars and shock absorbers.

BTW:  Models 2100 and 2350 are the only two current PC models with an unmodified wheel base.  All others are sent out to be stretched by a Ford certified outfitter.
