Jim,
If you call the parts department at BCS (Beaver Coach Sales) (800) 382-2597, they should be able to give you the part numbers, and they probably have the shocks in stock.

You may want to give Alliance Coach, one of the BAC Forum sponsors, a try. They service a lot of Beaver Coaches there. You may check on-line or call 352-330-3800 and ask for Allen, the parts manager.

Jeremy,

I try (and I know I will catch it for this) to avoid RV facilities for chassis repair or parts replacement.  I use a truck type service facility.  When you say RV the price seems to go up.  Just my opinion.

Hi Tom,
  I buy my parts  wherever I can get them and have the shops  quote me for installation.
  Sometimes  for warranty reasons. it is better to let the shop buy the parts .
  Bilsteins are widely available on line. Any shop will install them for you.
