Freightliner Shocks
Smoother Ride for Your 2023+ Freightliner XC: New Koni EVO Shocks for the VFS Suspension
When Freightliner introduced the "VFS front suspension" on the 2023 XC chassis, it was a big step forward in RV design. This system uses a solid Hendrickson front axle with unique linkage, replacing the traditional I-beam setup. While it delivers good steering and handling right from the factory, owners quickly discovered one challenge - most aftermarket suspension upgrades will not fit.
For a while, that meant if you owned a Freightliner XC with the VFS suspension, your options for improving ride comfort and control were limited. That changes today!
Why Standard Upgrades Don’t Fit
Traditionally, Freightliner XC owners with an I-beam front axle could upgrade with proven aftermarket solutions like Koni EVO shocks. But the geometry of the new VFS suspension is different, meaning:
- I-beam shocks don’t fit.
- Independent front suspension shocks don’t fit either.
This left many RVers waiting for a solution specifically engineered for this new setup.
The Solution: Koni EVO Shocks for VFS
Working closely with Koni, we’ve helped bring a purpose-built EVO shock to market, designed to bolt directly onto the VFS front suspension. These shocks are compatible and a serious upgrade over the factory shocks.
Here’s what you can expect:
1. Improved Ride Comfort
The VFS chassis' stock suspension can feel firm, especially on long drives or rough roads. Koni EVO shocks are engineered to absorb road harshness, giving you and your passengers a smoother, more comfortable ride.
2. Better Handling & Control
The VFS front suspension handles well, but the Koni EVO shocks take it to the next level. You’ll notice:
- Reduced “choppy” feedback from uneven pavement
- More controlled steering response
- Less driver fatigue on long trips
3. Enhanced Safety
When paired with a Safe-T-Plus Steering Control (which now has a kit available for the VFS chassis), you gain handling precision as well as improved steering feel, and protection in the event of a front tire blowout. That’s peace of mind you can’t put a price on.
Why Upgrade Now?
These shocks are brand new to the U.S. market, and this first shipment arrived straight from the Netherlands. Inventory is limited, and early adopters are already placing orders. If you’ve been waiting for a proper ride-and-handling solution for your Freightliner XC with VFS suspension, this is it.
