Hey Rikil,

There's canon truck up in my neck of the woods that will have all the parts you need for the front quad shock setup.

All you need is the dual shock towers which you can buy new from lmc or broncograveyard
Coil Spring Tower, Right Double Shock

And whatever else is needed to for the lower half to run the extra shock. Which you can find at canon truck

But I am not sure why you would need 2 extra shocks, I imagine with proper tire inflation and spring/shock ratio it should ride nice in the springs bumpy highways

I don't feel it's lacking now but with the larger tires and me having a motor that can take me at much faster speeds, I thought it'd be good to keep the tires on the ground as much as I could. Not sure yet if I am going to do this but maybe down the road.

Faster speeds on road or off road?

It will take better springs and shocks on all for corners.

I'll take this off road every once in a while but faster speeds will be on some sort of paved road, flat.

Sort of related to the shocks...my front Rancho coil springs sometimes make a noise when I turn sharply to one side or the other. I think the coil springs are moving a little in their seats and that is what makes the noise.

So I am wondering if others have this and if there is something I can do about it. I had the 3" front, 4" rear Rancho lift installed years ago. Inside the coil spring, on the bottom where the nut is, there's something that looks like it should be holding the spring from moving but it's not. It sort of looks like a large washer shaped like a bowl that sits just below the nut.
