I ended up installing the Rancho setup. Before when I would cross RR tracks or hit a hole at some moderate speed, maybe 35 mph or above, the pickup would jerk very quickly. Since I thought that was a little unsafe I needed to correct it.
Installed the Rancho dual setup today and test drove it. I can say that it made a HUGE difference. It maybe a hair harder to turn but I think it's well worth it. FYI, I did not remove the stock damper.

How long was the install? An hour or so?

Be carefull the dual setup is very low on the truck and its the first thing to strike rocks or dirt going offroad. I have changed the shocks on it twice already after being bashed.
I now removed the dual setup and am looking for a Bilstein single.

The internet really is forever! 
Since this has been resurrected...
Does that make it a triple damper? I don't know how you can install the dual over the single. 
There are other issues going on there. The dual setup is to help with much larger tires than the truck came with (as DAVE67FD mentioned over 7 years ago) and is only a band-aid for some other ailing issue(s) that need attention.
That goes for the single too. Depending on how much off-roading I do I replace mine every 2 years or so since it takes a beating.
