My ‘81 K10 had dual front shocks. Replaced em with singles (Bilstein 5100) and could not be happier.

The Billstein shocks he got on made for a nice ride.
I don't. Based in the research I did when I lifted mine, there is no reason to run dual shocks with modern shocks. I don't remember where/what different shock mount I bought and paired it with a single Bilstein.
I don't care for stiff springs. And, Bilstein shocks/struts have always been perfect in my vehicles(ride/longevity/handling).
the only real issues ive had are shock failures (upgraded to bilstein)
Meanwhile, the new shocks and springs really made a difference while driving. Noticeably smoother than before, less noise and clunking.
The Bilsteins for the rear aren't that expensive. They are a little bit firmer than stock but the increase in wheel and body control are worth it.
I put bilstein 4600s on. Theyre good relatively inexpensive shocks.
I put 5100s on the front of my 2018 SR5 at the stock clip, they were about a 3/4 of an inch longer than stock and it leveled the front out so that it sits almost level.
It rides about the same, less nose dive, but nothing significant?
B4s are trash.
