Okay so I got Bored yesterday. My In laws had a yard sale at my house and I just got bored. So I've been wanting to do a dual shock setup. I went out to the junkyard the other day. I needed a door lock motor. Mine was dying. I decided to get the shocks off of that truck. They looked newish and for $5 for each not a bad deal.

So I fabed up the mounting locations and bolted them in.

Here are the pics. Just incase others want to see here is the kit they sell for the front and a custom done rear end.

Looks good! Hows the ride with 8 shocks?

 

i bet it is like riding on a cloud.

Sorry, I am delirious from all the brake cleaner.

I am curious how it rides too.

 

I havnt drove it much yet but I tested on some speed bumps near by and is smoother after I hit it. I hit it a 30mph and that still wasnt bad. So it is smoother. But I only drove around the block. I will test it out some more and see how she does.

 

youve got 8?! Is it doubled on the front too, like on the back

 

Yea 2 per tire. The 2nd pic is the front. The black shock is the new one. The yellow is almost coverd up by the tire but you can see the top of it, that is the stock one.

 

Wow, im just gunna call myself a dumbass for not noticing the 2nd pick was the front when i looked at it a while ago
but ok that will probably give you a pretty good ride but what might the negative affects be if there are any

 

is that one bolt gonna hold it? Looks like the trailmaster kit has a pretty beefy mounting plate... that was then welded on even... I would think the larger surface area like that and extra bolts would be there for a reason.

not that this isn't awesome... but I would have thought a larger bracket would be in order

 

Ya I believe that one bolt will hold it. Ya that bracket is the only thing I had. It's thick and I gusseted it for more strength. And it if fails then I will do something different. But I say that is all it needs. I didn't want to spend all day on it. So only time will tell.
