shocks for dual shock mount
what would be an ideal shock to have for a dual shock setup in the front? i was looking at fox 2.0's or rancho 7000's but not really sure what to go with. My reasons for dual shocks:
1. help support my plow in the winter months
2. I do A LOT of off-roading 8-10 hours a day 6 days a week, and the single shocks ive tried wear out pretty quick
3. i dont like hitting my bumpstops
4. they look good lol
please dont try to convince me not to get them, ive had quite a few guys recommend them to me for what i use my truck for and im pretty set on them, im not looking for a smooth ride but im not sure what shock is best for running duals. its a f250 4x4 scsb and is leveled. thanks for any help

Yes, they're 2 inch bodies, but I don't think they were calling them 2.0 series when I bought them. The IFP stands for Internal Floating Piston which separates the oil from the nitrogen. With a reservoir shock, the IFP is in the reservoir allowing more volume of oil on the shock body to help combat heat related shock fade.The pressurized nitrogen helps with aeration. I had Rancho 9000's before the fox and they were crap for off-roading IMO. Your best bet is to measure your shock length at full droop and full compression and get a reservoir shock that fits these measurements.

I would love to go rancho but the guys i talk to that specialize in suspensions are highly recommending i get something that is valved specifically for what im using my truck for and (there recommending custom valved Blisteins), but its hard cause i use it for a lot of things (in one day)... so i need a good all around shock that will last, and improve off-road as well as on-road handling. i do realize somethings going to lack, but if i can improve the handling characteristics of the truck ill be very happy.

it sounds like there just doing valve adusting on a blistein shock, whether its off the shelf im not sure. i dont know much about shocks, so if you have any recommendations from your shocks im very open. Like i said i dont know much, i just want the best shock for my setup and I made it clear to these other guys (CT Performance) that i dont know much and they seem pretty honest and not yanking my chain. the price they gave me on the blisteins isnt one that will break the bank, they are a sponsor on another forum. Im trying to get as much input as i can to make a good educated decision. not just throwing stuff on there not knowing what to expect from it.
