I have been looking around at different suspension upgrades and ladder bars, and got to wondering about the advantage of a dual shock set-up.

Does this provide any real advantage, or is it just a more cosmetic upgrade? Seems like it's always guys with big lift kits that run them.

Also do you need different shocks if you run a dual setup? (shocks valved to run in pairs?)

Ladder bars and a rear sway bar are on my list so far, but just wondering if it is worth my time to design mounts for dual shocks also.

my opinion is that dual shocks are mainly for looks, not function

MrSlug

Agreed. Even the res shocks are a bit over kill for the street and light off road. But if you gotz the money and wantz the bling!

I saw some sweet dual shock brackets made by Skyjacker. Top Gun Customz is selling them for $160. Nice setup.

Have you decided what shocks you're going with? I don't know who makes them but I saw a set the other day in a magazine pic and they were stainless-looking. Really cool.

I am running triple shocks in front and singles in back.. I did notice that my ride got a little smoother with the triples in front and the front didnt sag as bad as it did when i was running a single shock in front..

Doesn't the spring control sag, and the shock control dampening and rebound?

I haven't decided which ones yet, I do know which ones you are talking about though..

Honestly i dont know.. I know when i was running singles up front when i would back up outta my drive-way i would rub when turning the wheels.. I went to the triple front set up and that never happened again..

Then again maybe it just controled the movement better so it wouldnt rub..
