Are those bumpers that heavy that you would need extra shock muscle?

this could be an idea!!!

as far as I know..the only coilover shocks that will fit are Fox, (and similar) none of the manufacturers make coilover overload style shocks for the front of our trucks, prolly due to control arm and axle interference...now with that said...you could do a search for coilover conversion and have the brackets made from someone for 200.00, and then buy the fox style coilovers..for roughly 400+?...or just buy new shocks, and get the bumpers from James, as I have read they are around 45+ lbs for the front.

I think he is trying to find out if there are any shocks with load assist springs for the front like he has on the back, not what works for a coilover conversion...

OP, you've done a torsion twist right? That should already add a little more spring tension for carrying that extra weight on the front that that bumper will add. Honestly, that much weight won't make much of a difference anyway. If you do want to go with actual coil overs, just follow gmanpaint's write-up.

Tell me about it. Mine are older, 8, 6 and 2 (almost 3), but as a single dad, it is really apparent how much they can cost...
