dual front shocks
I would like to add dual front shocks to my Blazer and I know they make a set-up to add one more next to the original but I have been looking for the old school style hoop that was made by Rancho and Trailmaster. Have any of you had any luck finding one of those or made one yourself that you could share. I could live with whats out there but I have a fat tire that I know will rub with that style. Thanks

Re: dual front shocks
You could use a ford shock Tower to add a shock. I've seen that before. But for the price of two You could run a single really nice bilstein shock or a bypass shock for even better dampening.

Re: dual front shocks
I ran 37/14.50s with the one shock mounted along side the other style. No problems

Re: dual front shocks
Well I have a pretty good resto mod going and thought they would just look cool. I'd love to get my hands on a set of reservoir's , cool factor 10 but again at over $200 a pop not an option. The Ford shock towers are a good option and special-k I ran the little bolt on plate for the add on next to the stock one with fat Fun Countrys years ago and they rubbed. I'm running 38x15.50s on 15x12 and really not sure I won't have the problem again. Thanks guys
