What's the advantage to dual shocks?

[Rico]

This is a simple one. Just lookin for your thoughts about the avantages and disadvantages of running dual shocks. I know it was an option on the full size Broncos but why?

 

[CopyKat]

I run them because of soft springs and no swaybar.

More control/better damping of the suspension (especially while offroad).

For me, it was in an effort to run soft springs but still maintain good handling characteristics on the road.

I wouldn't go duals in the back. Stock leaves are stiff enough that you don't need that much shock dampening.

I run them for the same reasons as CopyKat and Mr. Junkie
