RE: THE BLUE BIRD BOUNCE
Hmmm, AFAIK the only other Wanderlodge that shipped with a sway bar was the BMC, but that's a Spartan chassis. Your '93WB must've had an aftermarket bar. (Some folks, not you necessarily, confuse the Anti-Sway Bar with the lateral locating link, also known as the panhard rod).

There's only one set of Koni's available for the steer axle of an LXi, and it's adjustable. I have mine set to one turn from full soft. Koni part number: 902497SP1

Concerning ride and bounce, the other things to check are air spring ride height, tire pressures, and tag axle pressures. Al, do you know your axle weights? What are you running for tire pressures? What does your tag axle air pressure gauge typically read? The air spring height should be 8" +-3/16" and it's measured from bead plate to bead plate at the spring.

I agree, you can do a lot with shock adjustments. I find though that you can make them too stiff. If you do, then the suspension doesn't have time to rebound and the ride can get stiff and harsh. Just my $0.02.
