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 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?

Pros: less nose dive

Cons: nothing significant

Vehicle: Toyota
