I did the dual shocks on my 94 Ranger. Dont do it, it is not worth it. You have to buy special shocks that are valved for the dual setup, otherwise you will have a pogostick ride. I did it right with buying the whole setup from James Duff with shocks and all. It did not ride as nice as I would have liked. Personally unless you have 35" + tires, stay single shock and get some nice ones like the Ranco RS9000s.

I had mine custom made at 4 Wheel Parts. I had them do dual shocks all the way around with RS9000 shocks. They are adjustable, so I can change my ride from cadilac to tank. It helps with towing.

Last week I received the 2000 Rancho catalog and they listed Dual shocks for the newer F150's. Check their site and there you will be able to request one of those catalogs.

I know it's been some time since you started this tread, but just in case you still needed the information.

I also had James Duff Dual shocks on my '94 Ranger with 31's. It was a very rough ride and I don't think the benefit off-roading in the desert was worth the pain on road. I actually removed my front shocks because ofit.

I think Fabtech also makes a dual shock mount, its under the Long travel kit...i think there is also an engine cage you can buy to strengthen everything up.
