If your following along here, I installed 88-1490SP2 on the front of my 2000 Harney. This MH has a 4 bag setup with a Reyco 240AR rear and something very similar to a Reyco 1212 on the front.

Shock length is well suited on the front, allows the air bags to fully extend but not use the bad as the limit.

This shock is adjustable. I did set it to its most resistive setting as recommended. This really changed the ride. I went from a very floaty front end to something more similar to a car. Much more connected to the road, but not rough. I may try softening them up a little and see how that feels.

We often travel down under maintained forest service roads. These shocks really helped with the side to side rocking that we would experience when driving through pot holes.

I think I will miss the floaty feel on a nice road but overall this feels much more safe.
