This video shows a detailed process of removing the factory OEM front struts and installing aftermarket Koni adjustable front struts on my Winnebago View with the Sprinter van VS30 3500 (cab chassis) aka cut away chassis . This process should be the same on the regular van as well. I show some steps that may help you on your install as well. Be careful around the 2 sensors that are on the hub. I have my Koni strut adjusted to max firmness. It may be too firm for you, but unfortunately you won't know the setting unless you play around with it. I will be adjusting mine down 1/2 a turn.
After trying the struts only, I reinstalled the front Sumo spring and like the handling characteristics with Sumo spring better in windy conditions as well as passing semis.

There are several different aftermarket choices for the front struts, so you will have to do your own research on which one is the best fit for you.
