Re: shock hoops
yes JUST like the ones in the picture. TRAILMASTER made them back in the day. I would settle for any make so long as they are exactly as the ones pictured. Thanks

Re: shock hoops
main reason for the duals is you need them to help out with the amount of body roll you encounter without a sway bar.

Re: shock hoops
No idea if they are still made. Hoops pictured are actually for triple shocks. Main reason for multiple shocks in the past was to distribute the load and allow less fade. Mutiple lighter valved shocks would heat up less and have more consistent dampening.

Re: shock hoops
They look a bit like the brackets that hold the front wheel of a motorcycle on a trailer... I wonder if you could start with something like I describe and burn on the other parts (e.g., shock upper mounts)?
