Smile Dual Shock mounts(front)??'s

What are your thoughts on Dual-shock mounts/shocks on the front of our trucks? is it worth the price of 2 extra shocks? I am just thinking about upgrading to Bilstiens and also maybe dual shocks up front since I am going to be getting 35's.

depends on where/how you drive. if you drive on excessively rough roads, and or high speed off roading then 2 per corner would be benificial. just for street, i think that 2 is a waste. (although looking good).

highspeed, rough roads = needing them (or a high quality single)
normal street driving = not really needed, and can make the ride somewhat stiffer.

Ok, I was thinking the same thing kinda, mainly I was just wondering if anyone else thought it was not neccesary if you are just driving mainly on roads. I like the looks of dual shocks, but I was wondering if I should go dual cause of the 35" tires I want to get......um but maybe I will just take that extra money for the dual shock mount and two extra shocks and invest it in a steering stabilizer.

I guess they help out much better if you have larger tires like 35"s and up, thanks for the responses guys.
