Any reason to get a dual shock model? They appear to be almost double the price. I'm planning on 33", but probably nothing bigger that 35" tires.

I was looking for one a while ago. The people around me told that the problem with most dual shock systems is that it's one shock mounted above the other. This means it wil be lower to the ground than a one shock setup and not nicely tucked away between axle and tie-rod. The lower shock would break down quickly from impact & dragging in the mud.

Perhaps you could enlighten us on that last statement?? Why would a horizontal lower one not work as well as a horizontal upper one?

Dual shock stabilizers aren't needed for 35", even up to around 37". Besides, they double the workload for the power steering pump which on a tight twisty trail with the extra work for the power steering pump, could cause the PS fluid to boil over.
