I posted on here about 2 weeks ago asking what the best suspension lift to go with is. I have narrowed my search down to a James Duff. Now I am deciding whether to go with the double shocks or single shocks. This Bronco is going to be a road only machine with hardly every getting off the pavement. What are yalls suggestions??

Single shocks are all you need.

Double shocks are no longer needed for off-road, and never were needed for on the street.

X-3 on singles. I ran double in the old days harsh ride, the shocks now are so advanced you get a great ride with just one per corner.

Ok, Thanks! I have been looking into them a lot and just could not decide which to go with. Thanks for the help. Has anyone used the James Duff 3.5" Lift? Any problems from it?

^.......Good choice.

When you buy from the experts with years of real-world experience you're getting more than just a box full of parts.

You also get parts that fit together - the first time, parts that work together in harmony, knowledge that someone else has figured this out and you're not playing a guessing game of reinventing the wheel, you're supporting a small company using American labor to sell American parts, a company that you can depend on the day of the sale, and in the future.

Excellent, excellent, excellent.

They are the Original eb builders.

Great spring rates.

Throw some single Bilsteins on there and you will be kicking ass.

Installing 3.5" long arm monster kit as we speak. No complaints here on the assembly. I am running their dual shocks too tho. It's a frame off right now and they don't seem too stiff for me as I can move the frame with ease.l, up and down.
