general statement, since I don't know much about your rig...
Dual shock setups require softer valving. 4 regular shocks would be too stiff.

It depends on what you do with your vehicle. If its your daily driver, 4 normal springs would be too stiff.

When I ordered my 5" all spring lift the four front shocks were specific to the application, not just 2 more shocks for a total of four.

And Propane, quit yelling. GET IT?

I just did the dual icon front shock bracket with specially valved Bilsteins. Caryt sells them with CT performance. I installed with V code fronts, modified B code rears and a 4.5" Icon lift. The ride is way better than stock. The shocks are not to stiff on the highway. We have some pretty bad highway expansion joints in areas and it just floats across them. Rides much better than stock.
