I am looking for a set of dual or triple shock hoops for any year chevy truck.

procomp makes them for the 73 up trucks I think they are cheap like 60 a set.

what advantage does a multiple shock setup have? other than binding the front suspension if they're not positioned 100% correctly?

On road it gives better handling b/c it works like a swaybar. Off road they suck. You lose major flex and It makes for a rougher ride. And either way it looks like [poopy] to me. But that is just a personal opinion. Plus that is more shocks you have to buy. And depending on what shocks you run (14" travel 2.5" diameter Sway Away Race Runner's) they arent cheap

I have Duals on my Blazer, as well as Dual Steering Stabilizer, but they Mounts came on it when I bought it. The dude put em on, and didn't take them off. Oh well.

I only run Single, or at least I am for now. I am buying new Shocks in a week or so and am thinking about using The Quad Setup in Front, and Using Dual Stabilizers...

Black Diamond makes a triple and a double shock kit for the 67-72 trucks and i also heard that the shock hoops from the older f$#@ f-250's would also work.
