i want to run front dual shocks on my GQ. does anyone do a kit or is it a custom job ?

no real info available, but Wizard have them listed on their site

There's a white GU cab chassis with a nice twin setup. Do a search and you'll find it.

I noe glen binskin does dual shock kits, but you live in quensland so give them a go

Search for sparky's thread in the members section. There are pics of how Juzza did twin shocks on his. Think he is running twin konis.

Also didnt wizard shut down, or was that just a dodgy rumour.

What are the pro's and con's of duel shocks?

Aren't you just creating more dampening therefore a firmer ride?

Supposedly a "beefier" look that's why every second yank tank has the setup, but does it really work?

With the guys running Konis they can tune the shocks to work togther at a lighter dampaning force. But also allows them to still run high speeds.
If they could get a single shock three times the size to fit and do the same thing they would run single and yes these guys are already running the truck shocks.

it also has immense wank value for the mall cruisers...

I bet 99% of the time that's the main reason! Urban Cowboys!

We run twin 80 Series shockies in the front of our race GQ ute (based on LWB wagon chassis) mainly to prevent fade over high-speed corrugated and rutted tracks. It makes for a pretty firm front end though, but is fine for jumping.

A mate uses Koni Bus shocks on his GU ute which have been revalved for the weight and specs of the truck. They handle fade just as well as ours, but because they are valved correctly is much more user friendly to drive.

If you've got the coin, use a single shock valved correctly and built for the job. Generally means going to one with a remote reservoir so you can get the volume of oil you need.

Cheers

THe only cars I know with dual shocks are driven hard enough that even good konis start to fade. I would have liked it with my old konis as they used to get shoft after a coulpe of hours of going hard.
See how well the dobinsons go, being valved harder I think they will get hotter quicker.

it aready has 80 series koni`s on it , i am just looking for a bit extra for the big hit ect, and it is a comp winch truck

If you like to drive fast offroad or are competing then a twin shock
conversion is the best thing you can do on a budget.
