Question 79 Quad Front Shocks F150

Does anyone have pics that show how the quad shocks connect up on front set? Have put a 4" Rugged Trail lift in and it came with one top mount. I plan to fab up other side to match. Can not figure how Ford did the bottom connection up on front shock where it mounts to the axle. Thanks everyone.

I don't have a pic, but it is a bracket the attaches to the radius arm, but why do you want quad front shocks, I had then, but took them off, b/c it made the ride to rough. Every pot hole it hit felt like a ditch.

The reason I was looking at the quad set up was to soften or slow the bounce when off roading. Are you saying that I am going to make it worse with the quads? Thanks for the input.

If you do desert racing or wheeling at fast speeds and a lot of hard hits or bumps, then quad shocks would come in handy. Other than that, it just stiffed my ride alot, on the road, off hitting a levy or anything it was just worst. I took off a shock on each front side and it is smother now, but doesn't look as good(that was the only thing I found that they did do was improve the cool factor).
