Title: double front shocks
Post by: Buddy on November 26, 2010, 08:40:48 am

I have an 85 chevy, I am running a  front end from a 76, 1st edtion. My question is I only have a spot from one shimmy shock on the front, I want to know if there is a way i can install 2. I see some trucks have 2 and i love the lok so i just wanted to know how you do it.

Fab a set of Upper brackets, Find a set in a Junk yard....

The bottom mount used the same mount on the axle with a longer bolt.

You can stack them on top of each other or run them like this.
