Lift Kit for 06 1500?
Does anyone out there sell a 6" lift kit with dual shocks for the 06 1500's? I have been searching and the only kits I find for 06+ is for the 2500/3500.

Why do you want dual Shocks.
#1 you will have to buy Special Shocks that valved for this cost more from the get go, If you dont run the right valved shocks you most likly have too much rebound a dampering from the shocks you wiil have a very hash riding truck Been there done that my self years a go.
#2 Cost now you have doubled the cost so instead of lets say $150 for some good high end shocks now you looking at least $300.00 or most likley more for those special shocks.
#3A good high end shock will do the same as duals unless you are Bonsi Bob hitting those 90 foot jumps if so you have more gonads than I have.

In the 80s and 90s people found out that the ride really sucks with cheap dual and tripple shocks so people who wanted the look started drilling holes in the bottom of the shocks to let the oil out, so it was all for looks.
Get a quality shock. Not these crappy twin tube cheapies out there. In my opinion, you can't really find a much better shock then Bilstein (there's a reason the Power Wagon has them).
I've heard some people really like the Edelbrocks, but I just can't bring myself to buy them. Their theories and technology all sound good on paper, and maybe the do work as good as they say, but it's just not for me.
