Double Shocks in the front?

[profonde]

Anybody put double shocks in the front (without a coilover) it seems very tight there any pics?

Why would you need double shocks? Why not get a shock that you can set the valving to very firm? I suppose you could build an adapter of some sort to mount two shock to the stock locations.

dual shocks will last a lot longer before they fade ... and it's overall less stress on each shock... esp when the valving is reduced in each.

Yeah he answer it for me ruther than putting 1 360/80 i wanna put 2 250/75s so less fade and stress

both of those would be much stiffer than what everyone here has found to be ideal valving...

it will be easier to package a larger diameter and/or resevoir shock than 2 shocks and both will help prevent fade. if you are building a vehicle that really needs multiple shocks, I would hope you have the fabrication abilities to figure it out.

i am thinking of putting one 2.5" Bilstein 9100 reservoirs do ypou think 360/80 is too much for the tyepe of racing i do?

what type of racing do you do?

search for valving posts by Jes or CRASH, I don't remember the exact numbers, but they've found something like 275/78 to be good for all-purpose and desert driving.
