You can do this, and you'll either need to fabricate new shock perches or get a kit if available. Be aware that this will stiffin up your front quite a bit, and in my opinon all you need is a good rancho 5000, or even a 9000 which will do anything you want. Multiple shocks per wheel were all the rage some years ago but you don't see it as often now for good reason. Just a thought...

I'm kind of surprised your R9000s aren't up to the job, but I understand how a heavy duty bumper and winch can really load up the front end. I remember many, many moons ago in high school shop class a kid welded up a heavy duty bumper for his truck. He manuvered it into place with a forklift, bolted it on, and when he lowered the forklift his front end totally bottemed out from the weight of his monstrous creation. We all thought it was pretty hilarious at the time. I don't know of any kits for your job, but any good welder should be able to hook you up. If you find a kit let us know, just out of curiousity.
