I was just crawling under my bronco and noticed that there are duel shocks on the front. Is this normal? It looks like a factory installation. I didnt think that any vehicles came from the factory with duel shocks.

 

Dual shocks was a factory option. It generally came with a towing package. I have dual shocks stock on my 1990.

 

YEP MY 87 HAS THEM I THINK THEY CALL'EM (QUAD SHOCKS) HEY ITS JUST MORE MONEY TO SPENT WHEN YOU REPLACE THEM! DW

 

One of my '79s has quad shocks - in the front

 

ok, thanks. I do need new shocks all around cause the ones I have look pretty old. The bushings themselves have around a 3/16" gap between them and the bolt. Hmm, they could be the original motorcraft ones, back end of the truck is almost scary its so soft.

 

my 79 has quads was told by others they ride nice
also the sway-bar on the rear

 

Got the duel shocks on my '96 as well!

That just means it's twice as expensive to put new ones on!

 

I just put 6 new Rancho RSX's on last weekend and it made a world of difference (mine was getting pretty scary, too).

I also put on a set of Air Lift helper springs in the front and I'm pretty impressed so far. If your front end is sitting lower than than the rear I would highly recommend them.

 

how big is the compressor for airbags can i use 1 compressor fromt and rear and just keep it deflated for every day
well guess i only need rears for towing

 

I checked out those RSX shocks and holy moly there expencive. I dont have $330 plus tax!

 

well i keep an eye on ebay but know what u want b4 u look

check the part numbers and email them w/any questions if they won't respond you probally don't want to deal with them after u send payment

mirit u seem to hav the same problem as I hav an 78 and 79 may get a pre-78 at some point

 

You don't have to install the on-board air, I just have an air valve on each side of my front license plate and I adjust the pressure with a normal compressor and air gauge.

Air Lift does have an on-board compressor with dual gauges to allow you to adjust front and rear pressure seperately from the driver's seat, but I thought that was overkill since I don't plan on changing the pressure on a daily basis..

I don't know where you were looking but I only paid $268.89 w/shipping for all 6 from 4 Wheel Parts, I think Summit has a similar deal now.
