Andy.:
You might be after a Wizardbilt twin shock mount system http://www.wizardbilt.com/page2.htm.

toger:
Does wiz do front twins?

thermidorthelobster:
How about the back end of a Disco II?  I find with the air springs at the back, it gets quite bouncy at times, even with OME shocks.  Would twins make a difference?

Bulli:
Twin shochs will make a difference because you shocks are only having to work half as hard, therfore the oil is cooler and so the damping effect is better. Only problem i can see is that the twin set up is not going to move as freely offroad. They are very popular with comp safari where they are driven very fast and so overheat rapidly.
Chuggerman,I wouldnt lift the front end with spacers myself, i did it and the results aren't brilliant.
The reason why your springs are compressed is because the are overloaded, designed for less weight. If you correct the ride height by spacers then you are not addressing the problem as springs are cleverly designed to work with a specific open, closed and loaded length. This set up will never work as well as the correct spring- as the spring is already compressed beyond its initial coils. On progressive springs the first movement is rapid to cope with large potholes, etc whilst traveling at speed. Hence you will have a stiffer less comfortable ride if they are compressed beyond this point.
I know of a company that can make springs to your spec, they make them for a few large 4x4 specialists. It is the best way to do it.

chuggaman:
but i am happy with te springs

just need that tiny bit more lift and to drop the shocks 2 inches so they are right

found what i need at scorpion
