ATF: Bighorn - To shock or not to shock

I am planning a suspension upgrade for my '07 Bighorn 3055RL. The upgraded suspension comes with shocks and my rig did not. I am planning on Center Point suspension in the future and have gotten mixed messages about using shocks with it. I would like to know what a factory rep would have to say about this. Should I have the shocks mounted? Thank you.

My prvious SOB did not have shocks. My BH does. The BH rides MUCH better.
It also has the Trailair Equiflex however. I believe the shocks alone will certainly help. Trace

If it's at all possible, figure a way to mount the shocks as close as possible to vertical. This may be next to impossible though. The angle that most RV suspension shocks are at almost make them ineffective. If you have any fabricating equipment and can make your own mounts, they are an asset.
