With the dual shocks and stabilizers:
Dual Stabilizers: Better for serious offroad excursions. On the average
daily driver that occasionally sees some sort of a trail, not necessary.
Dual Shocks: Better for the serious offroad jumps and bumps (not really
required unless you're driving over 30mph on some serious bumps). For the
average daily driver, yeah...they look cool, but not required.
A softer ride is better than a "Kidney Buster" especially offroad. You WANT
the suspension to move with the terrain...not bounce you over it. (Bump
stops, suspension straps, coil overs, they all work just as good.) It
really does depend on what you want the truck to do though.

Subject: Re: DML: TrailmasterLift Kit Options, was poop
ok, is there a major advantage to having dual steering stabilizers over
single?
What about dual shocks? Just a smoother ride or what is the advantage that
this would offer? I'm planning on ordering this kit sometime soon, with at
least the skid plate, but not sure what advantage the other options would
offer...since I plan to use my Dak for off-roading, which options/shocks are
best for rugged 4-wheeling?

<< First off, you have the choice between TrailMaster's SSV Speed Smart
Shocks,
Invader N7 Shocks(DD43N), annd Invader SS Shocks(DD43S). For steering
stabilizers, you can go with the single stabilizer with a SS Shock(6117),
dual stabilizers with SS Shock(6217), single stabilizer with a SSV
Shock(7117), or dual stabilizers with SSV Shocks(7217) The front dual shock
brackets are available, part number DS37, as well as dual rear shock
brackets, part number DS38. The fonbt skid plate is part number TM8096.
There
are even traction shocks available, you can run SS Shocks(TS26SS) on them or
SK shocks(TS26SK). Hope that helps you out. I plan on running dual shocks at
each corner, I am hoping to only run a single steering stabilizers though,
of
course with a skid plate. >>
