Has anybody seen or know if any company makes dual front shock brackets for4th Gen 1500's? I'm trying to go higher than the usual 6" or 8" lifts. Im pretty sure that someone's thought of this already, anybody out there that can help?

Anything over 6" with Bilstein's set @ 2.8 (Modified 8") or with a Coilover setup, you are looking at bad geometry on the front CV Axles. From what I've seen and read, this is the max (Modified 8") we can do safely

The 1500 2wd is a coil spring truck and you would have to have a pretty decent size lift kit and have somebody make you a custom hoop and control arms or control arm brackets to mount to your stock arms. The 1500 4wd is a coilover front end and same thing, you'd need a custom hoop and custom arms or arm brackets BUT then you would have a coilover up front AND 2 more shocks and that might be a ton of dampening. Unless you just got the shocks with literally no valving and they were just all for looks. Either way, nobody makes a production run dual shock mounting system for these 1500 trucks; not that I have ever heard of or seen anyways. Hope this helps!
