I need some advise in regards to front shocks, i am trying to decide going with the fabtech hoop with four fabtech 2.5 resi's up front and two in the rear, or just going with a single fox resi up front and rear? I don't want to stiffen up the ride, just want less "float" after going over bumps, it seems they can valve either shocks to my specs, but everyone i talk too says the twin shock setup will harshen the ride....help......

it will harshen it only if you put too much compression and rebound in the shock. I prefer the daul shock only because it looks better and if you do a lot of dirt road driving the shock fade will be less due to the two shocks having less valving then the single shock up front thus causing less heat and shock fade. it may take you a month or two to get them valved where you want them because everyone is different and if you tell them how you want them valved it will only be in a ball park range of what you want.
