    If you really want to you can use the brackets from EAS RRCs (or aftermarket equivalents) to install twin front shocks.

    However you won't notice a benefit for normal driving

    In addition, for rears, I have seen a couple of setups.

    Disco 1 and 2 I have seen fabricated mounts for an additional shock immediately in front of the OE shock.

    Corey had a leading and following shock setup on a Defender (very si,ilar to the D1 setup)

    I used to manufacture my own etc and now there are commercially available kits. The cost involved is about the same as buying a pair of Koni Raid 90 which will Never fail/ fade. Much simpler. I would only do the rear unless you are running huge weights on the front like steel barwork and an 8274 etc

    I'm. Looking for comfort over most things, don't have the best back but want to do some good offroading. I'm hoping that the dual shock will help. What are these koni's like?

    Good off-roading - not sure you really need twin shocks for slow stuff

    I think good quality single shocks would be just as good as two average twin shocks

    I had billies on my old defer which performed well.....

    Know a couple of guys with koni's which are also well reguarded
