Double shock mounts?

I have a 2010 f150 FX4 with a basic six inch lift and 35s, Im looking for some double shock mounts for the front suspension of my truck but cant find ANYTHING. Is anyone running some kind of double shock setup in their front end or know any companies selling these kits?
Thanks

I have never seen anything for your truck...not even a custom fab job. I can tell you the only way you're going to get that is going to be a custom fab job.

Why do you want it? With a coil-over, they're pretty high performance. What are you trying to accomplish?

If you're doing some major high speed off-road'n or something, there's companies out there that make coil-overs that'll take anything you can dish out...other parts of your truck will give up long before they do. If you're going this route for looks...I suggest finding another project.

Honestly I was going for looks an performance, something that will toughen up the front but with out the high expsense of coil overs, unless you know some where I can find coil overs for a good price?

Going with shocks up front you will need to do an Solid Axle swap with some leaf springs up front for a double shock mount with some shocks(I think im right because shocks wont be able to withstand the weight of the front end). Now i think this will be a lot more than what you are looking to spend than buying a set of custom coilovers from king, fox, fabtech,or the procomp ones

I know Sway-A-Way coil-overs are reasonably priced...for what you're getting that is. Depending on your definition of expensive? Just so we're on the same track...because I'm not sure you understand (unless I'm reading wrong) but you already have coil-overs. These trucks come from the factory with a coil-over set up. Getting something from one of the top end manufacturers is not an expensive modification...it's a direct bolt in swap, one for one.

Yes I realize there is a stock coilover, but all I have in the front is the stock coilover and a spacer to make it a six inch lift. All I wanted to do is beef up the front end a bit, an I have seen(atleast on the old 97-03s) double shock mounting kits for the front. I wanted to keep everything the way it is but add these extra shocks. But if there is no such thing and if it would be more money that its worth I would want to put coil overs, I was expecting to spend around $400-500. Though I honestly have no clue how much fox or king etc. coil overs would cost like mhockey was talking about, could you give me a ball park range?

Yeah, your best bet is to start saving and look for a good deal on a set of coilovers. The Pro Comp MX6 and Fabtech Dirt Logic coilovers will probably be your least expensive options.
