I searched the site and believe it or not did not find anything on dual shocks. So here is my question

I raised my truck cranking the torsion bars. I would very much like to add a dual shock kit in front as I am about to install the Reunel bumper and Warn M15000 winch.

Can anyone offer suggestions for a kit?

Do they make one for basically a stock height truck?(I raised front 1.5" with torsion bar crank)

Any inputs appreciated.

Happy New Year :D

The Fabtech kit (FT51002) should work. The hoop mounts to the factory LCA pivot bolts, one steering box bolt, and one front diff cradle bolt, all of which are unchanged between lifted and stock. The lower shock mount sandwiches to the UCA, which is also in the same position lifted VS. stock. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Cognito also makes a dual setup but I think you have to use their UCA.
