I have the Skyjacker Dual kit (part#7299) and so far it is the best one i have ever had as a dual satb kit. it mounts in line which means it has a shock going to each side of the front end there might be a pick on their web site www.skyjacker.com or www.skyjacker.tv Hope this helps

The way that the stabilizers you pictured are set-up, they have brackets that attach underneath the axles on the lower portion of the spring mounts using the springs U-bolts and stick out in front of the tie-rod that hold one end of the shock. There is another bracket that bolts to the tie-rod that holds the other end of the shocks. The brackets move the shocks out far enough to clear that adjusting collar (which is vital for wheel alignment).

so if it sticks out past the tie rod arm , will there be basically a hole where the stock shock was bolted and the new ones infront of it? If thats what your saying there will just be an empty spot behind the dual where the stock used to sit.....lol kinda confused (basically what im asking will that dual in that pic i listed work with my application) sorry its blurry its a cell phone shot..

Yes, the dual set-up you posted will work. Once you replace the stock with duals, the axle bracket that held the stocker on will just be an empty piece of metal sitting there. You can cut that portion of the bracket off if you want. Here's a pic of the duals on my truck (it's a bit hard to see the other shock since it sits behind the tie-rod). And another one of a close-up of the bracket (it's that rust spotted thing to the left of the u-bolts). If you look to the left side in the first pic you can see the bracket just sits there.
