That kit cost $5650.00

I would try calling 559-271-8685 about the shock mounts.

I'm pretty sure you might have to fabricate your own shock mounts, same as fabricating any shock hoops to put 2 on each side in the front.

I had mounts fabricated for my rear axle to use dual shocks on mine, looking at having mounts and hoops fabricated to mount dual shocks on front too.

This is the rear!

That looks sick! I want that. It'd be neat if somehow I could fab up shock mounts outside of my struts...

Sorry for a delayed update but I have found a solution!!! So that it's easier for us lifted 2wd guys and possibly others to get better quality shocks for the front

I have found these......

Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=190702224388

Im goin to be ordering these soon, along with some better quality shocks to accommodate for my 9" suspension.....

Never got a chance. The guy that had the shocks before me said he had no problem and did them all by himself. And I haven't heard from the current owner of my truck.

Oh ok, I'm gonna get the measurements of the rough country shocks and find the bilstien shocks that are 3",, longer then buy those adapters and see how it goes ;) and of course match the rear shocks also.

You'll want this website

Rancho RS9000 Shock Specifications

And use these part numbers. 9117/9112

http://www.roughcountry.com/install/376H.pdf

That should give you everything and even more info on the shocks you'll need to order.
