dual shocks

Just questioning....can I put a dual shock setup on 80 F-250? I've seen them on broncos and F-150, but never on anything else.

I believe you have to swap out the large bracket around the spring. No reason I know of that would keep you from doing it. I think they called it a "handling package". It would have had sway bars also.

P.S. Probably some other bracket on the bottom to hold the bottom of the extra shock also.
