Front dual shock mounts
I am wanting to get front dual shock mounts for my 2000 Super duty crew cab. I have tryed to do some research on them but am not having very good luck. If you have them do you have any pictures of them or know of a web site that has a good picture of the brackets installed on the truck? Also what shocks work the best for a dual shock setup? Any help would be great.
Thank you, Firemandan

Front dual shock mounts
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 17-Nov-02 AT 01:55 PM (EST)]I am a new member of the site and a new Ford truck owner. I just received my 2003 SD,CC,V10,3.73 LS, Sonic Blue with the XLT Sports Package. I had the dealer install a 3.5" spring lift (which is referred to as a leveling kit) along with
a dual front shock setup. 4" blocks were installed in the back and Fabtech shocks were installed on all corners.
Unfortunately I do not have any pics, but I chose the Fabtech for their offroad racing history, and the lift parts come in blue to match the color of the truck. The cost of the lift, shock hoops, and shocks came in at $1600. All parts were bolt on, with drilling required in the frame to install the shock hoop.
I ran across several manufactures of dual shock hoops for Ford Superduties. The large suspension manufacturers make them like Skyjacker, Superlift, etc., as well as lesser known off road racing companies like Fabtech and RCD.

I got my lift and duel shock setup from a company named Jack It out of Utah they are on the web. They will mix and match shocks and lifts so they will be the best match for your truck. Be aware that duel shocks will make your truck ride like a truck. Good luck

My front duel shock mounts are from ProComp and they bolted right into the stock holes. Just remove stock and bolt on aftermarket. Also need to switch lower mounts from leafs.

Front dual shock mounts
Hey Guys, Thank you for all the info. I think I am going with the Skyjacker dual shock kit. It looks great. Also I like the fact that you can just bolt it on. If I put 4 Rancho rs 9000 shocks on the front and have a real low setting on them will the truck still ride a little stiff? I am getting my lift Dec 2. I can not wait. I am getting a Tuff Country 5 inch soft ride with Mickey Thonpson classic 2 wheels and 35-12.50-16.5 BFG's. 
I will try and make a gallery when I get the truck done. Thank's again Guys for the info.

Yeti, I wanted the Tuff Country lift for the soft ride springs. A friend of mine has the Tuff Country 5 inch soft ride on his 2000 F350 like mine and the truck rides very nice, and the truck looks great with the 5 inch lift with 35's. So I guess I am going with the Tuff Country is for the better ride.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-Nov-02 AT 05:29 PM (EST)]I had the dual Fabtech shock hoop on my truck with 4 RS9000s. I set them on the softest setting and the ride didn't really change too much. I also had the 8" spring pack so I'm sure that played a part in the stiffness. With the smaller lift, it should ride a little better. I have pics in my gallery or click on the top link below.

Chadrock, First I half to say DAMN man that is an awesome looking truck. Second thank you for the great picture of the dual shock hoop. It looks very nice. I know my truck won't look that tall with the 5 inch kit I am getting but one thing about the F350 super duty truck's is you don't half to add very much lift to them to make them huge.
Thank's for the input,
Firemandan
