Dual Front shocks?

[rocs420]

Did EB's ever come with stock dual shocks in the front? My 71 has dual's up front that look stock. It's a sport heavy duty EB if that helps.

Maybe it's a stoppe bronco. Didn't they come with daul shocks? If it is, it would be worth some $$!

I bought a new steed and it had dual shocks on the front and rear. I couldn't remember my last two broncs riding so rough, and a local bronc owner said pull one set off all the way around. After kicking myself repeatedly, I did just that, and WOW what a difference! I have since read that there is some controversy about dual or not, but most things I have read have said for 99% of us singles are the best choice for both ride and articulation. hope this helps.

duals look coller, but not always do they seem cooler!

Dual shocks are really only needed for desert racing where rapid, nonstop cycling causes them to over-heat. If you want to run duals on rocks or trails, there are shocks made you. They are valved differently to be softer, so 2=1. You don't want the ride to be to stiff. Rancho and probably most quality brands make the softer ones.

My duals hith the added weave really helped the handling of my bronco with the added weight of a winch, bumper, and engine. I have Duffs 70/30 valved shocks and the only handling difference I have noticed has been in no more diving on cornering

Bill Stroppe did it, that's good enough for me.<br><br>snake

Bill Stroppe did it in the days of old when shocks were made for on road use and would not last for<br> 50 miles of high speed off roading. It was a good fix then.
