Anyone install double front shocks in front
I have seen on the raised trucks 2 and sometimes even 3 shocks on each side on the front.. I was wondering if you wanted to put a heavier motorcycle on the front (maybe 500 lbs) would that be doable a...

I have a 99` Dodge 4x4, now a dually with skyjacker d25 coils and a dual shock set up ,with Bilstein f4-be5-a465-h8 shocks in the coils and a lighter valved shock on the outer mount that I think is for a jeep . The shock was sugjested by a tech at Bilstein, and I was told it would be stiff , it is , but is good with a camper on it , I sometimes remove the outer shock if I`m not going to use the camper for a while , takes about 5 min a side.
But I would think twice about putting 500 lbs on the front of your truck
Mine has a front axle rating of 4850lbs and the front of my truck weighs 4680 with a buckstop bumper unloaded , 4780 with camper
The unit bearings are a weak spot and when I get done with everything else Im doing to it I`ll put spintec hubs and have better weight bearing wheel bearings
The 2000 and up trucks have about a 5200 lb axle rating but that's still limiting with the heavy front end of a cummins
