Can yall post some pics of what you are running? I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to fab a double shock mount for the front on my 61 4x4. Just needing some pics for basic ideas. Thanks!

take a look at some mid 80's blazers, some had duel shocks. might just be a bolt on deal

Rancho makes a dual front mount for the 73 to 80 pickups, burbs and blazers. It's just a plate that bends away from the frame more and allow you to fit 2 shocks where one was. Then use a longer bolt for the bottom mount. Pretty simple, not rock crawler tough but it will get ya duals on the front.
A pic would help
