John,
I purchased the rear shocks from BB. This made a huge difference.
It really calmed the rear tail from bobbing up/down, They seemed
very difficult to replace without removing the rear wheels, So, I
had them installed at a truck garage with a pit. Only two hours
labor.
The front shocks are adjustable, I have not changed this adjustment ,
I am happy with the ride , new steer tires helped also.

Hey John, I replaced the shocks on our 86FC last october when I
replaced tires. I used the Koni adjustable shocks on the steer and the
Gabriel shocks on the drive. I am pretty sure this is the original set
up from the factory. I purchased them from BB and found their price as
competitive as any place. I also found a major difference in the ride
as well. It is amazing what 4 grand will do for the ride!
(tires&shocks)
Best of luck

John makes sure you get the KONI shocks on the front. Blubird sells
them , and I don not know where to get them cheaper. They are
expensive but absolutley neccessary to keep control of the vechicle.
