Gas or diesel?

Honestly, with the spring rate on these HD trucks and the amount (or lack) of travel they have duals would be a complete waste of money. A good single is more then enough to do the job.

I am always curious why people need dual or fox shocks with reserves.

I get it if youre running the mint 500, but on regular to heavy duty use its just truck jewelery.

@Nick@GotExhaust can set you up with the shock hoops with fox 2.0 shocks to go in them. We have used the BDS hoops with great results. Are you lifted?

great! i sent him a pm. truck goes in shop on march ~1st. want to have my ducks in a row before then.

I replied to your message, thanks for reaching out! Please let me know what lift you are running. Also just a thought instead of the dual set up you could do a stout 2.5 coil over with reservoir. It will still look pretty trick and it would perform great!


@Quick_Shifter , thank you for referring him.

BDS has this kit
BDS DUAL SHOCK HOOP KITS 2013-2014 Dodge Ram 1-ton 4WD & 2014 Dodge Ram 3/4-ton 4wd
Built for use on lifted 2013-2014 RAM 3500 and 2014 RAM 2500 4wd trucks, this new shock hoop setup allows for the installation of dual front shocks at each corner for improved dampening capability and added control; perfect for dual purpose trucks spending time on road and off the beaten path.

The dual shock hoop is designed to integrate with both 4″ and 6″ BDS radius arm kits and 4-link systems. The hoop is built from 1.75″ x 0.188″ wall DOM tubing with a reinforced mounting tab to tie into both the frame rail and factory upper shock mount for a sturdy mount for the dual shock setup. The brackets are finished in a durable textured black powdercoating with a stainless steel “BDS” badge on the hoop.

The kit requires minor welding to add a support gussets and steering stops. The dual shock hoop accepts both BDS-5500 shocks or Fox 2.0 performance gas shocks. Add the BDS dual shock hoop setup to your late model lifted RAM for improved performance.




Fabtech has this kit
2014-15 RAM 2500 4WD & 2013-14 RAM 3500 4WD 5″ DUAL SHOCK KIT

Increase the damping of your Ram’s front suspension with Fabtech’s Dual Shock Kit. This bolt on kit allows the installation of two additional shocks for extra damping capacity. The factory position shocks do not need to be replaced with this kit as you are adding one additional shock per side. This kit locates the additional shock forward of the coil spring bucket allowing full lock to lock turning radius with large tires. Both upper and lower mounts are a double shear design for superior strength.

The Dual Shock Kit comes with two shocks as it utilizes the two existing factory position shocks with all Fabtech 5” Systems. For those that want to upgrade their Dirt Logic non resi shocks to reservoir style there is a kit with four Dirt Logic resi shocks available.
