Montana 3000rk with shocks
we have completed our trip to Yuma and back to Oregon for the winter, total miles driven was 3200 miles. With the installation of shocks it sure made a world of difference in both handling and ride. I firmly believe that Keystone missed the boat by taking shocks off their units in 2006.

I don't think it was Keystone Bob, I think it was the sell Job Mor-Ryde gives them.

I had a local fab shop install them, they also build horse trailers so I felt they knew what they were doing. Labor cost ws $250 and shocks and bkts cost about the same. So around $500, I think it is worth it. I will try and take some picture sand post them. It is the same as on a 2005 Everest. They sit at a 35 degree angle, looks funny but it works. Illistration included with parts Shocks are Monroe and supplid by Moryde. I do not think it was a sell job by Moryde, as all the Moryde pictures show shocks with the Moryde suspension and in talking with Moryde at quartzite they indicated you needed shocks when you install the Moryde blocks

I have the 08 and am wondering if I have shocks. The unit is at CW getting a few warranty items done but I am going to check when I get it back. The ceiling fan broke one blade off and I think there was a screw missing since I couldn't find one. The roads were not that rough either. The cable connectors are shorted and the DVD player would only work part-time.
But we love the 3000RK.
