multiple shocks

just wondering your opinions on wether it would be smart to go with dual shocks up front. i have alredy chosen to go with bilsteins. the plow i use is about 750# and i would like to go with a set of 19.5 rims and tires at some point down the road.

this is my first post although i have ben reading the fourm for a while.

Don't forget keep the truck height stock when using the plow. I don't think you will benefit from dual shocks even with the plow.

tyme chaser,

What is it that you are trying to achieve? Dual Bilsteins will do a better job of body roll control but will do so at the sacrifice of some ride plushness. Hope this helps.

just did not know wether one shock would handle the weight of the psd, the plow and a larger set of rims and tires.
