Are you talking front or rear? Fronts ain't going to happen as this truck uses struts up front, unless you do something totally one off and custom like a solid axle swap. As to rears, with the shocks mounted outside the springs, it wouldn't be easy or inxepensive either. Dual shocks are more for looks than function anyway, you really won't gain anything except a harsher ride when you add more shocks. Why are you lloking for dual shocks anyway? There may be another viable solution if you have a ride issue you would like to change.

These are for the front. My son-in-law just put a 6" lift on and he is looking for a front dual shock kit. Overall, he is pleased with the ride, but he wants the front a little stiffer. A custom set up is not going to happen. Any ideas?

get another truck. you can't get the dual setup in this model like you could in the older F series. unfortunately just cannot be done using stock front suspension
might want to look at upgrading the front coil over to some bilstiens (spelling?)

The bilsteins are an idea, but they may not be available to work the the 6 inch lift. As far as other options, I don't know any. You just can't do a whole lot with struts, unless you get rid of them, and you (he) don't want to do that. You might be able to contact the suspension maufacturer to see if they have a strut with a stiffer valving, but thats about it.

What manufacturer is the lift from? Some use the factory coils to keep the ride a little more pleasent, he may want to look for stiffer/heavier coils. Skyjacker replaces the factory coils but i'm not sure how they compare (stiffness wise).
