You can run duals without issue.

Simple dual mounts are available:

Or something more elaborate like a hoop:

You do have to have them order it, but when it comes in, all you have to do is bring your reciept and your old one down and they take care of it right then and there.

I had a front Bilstein go bad and they let me swap out both for a new pair.
