allpro crossover steering w/ double front shocks?

I have double frontshocks on my truck. its a 88 with a 85 front axle and it has custom shock mounts. will all pro offroad's 1001-AP-FJ80 fit around my double shocks orshould i just remove the front most shock to make room?


OK so it'll fit with double shocks, but the bracket thing is still on the top of my axle, im planning on removing it, but is it neccesarry to remove it to fit the hi-steer?.... i think i do..

Im not sure if it will fit with double shocks up front, but im wondering why you need double shocks ?, when there is really no need for double shocks at all.

Post up a picture. I'd like to see your setup.

Probably will fit fine, I have had a few AllPro kits on the front of my '85:

I've never seen a shock set-up like that before.
Where did that design come from and exactly what does it add?
Is that for more flex or .......?

Not "knocking" it in anyway shape or form.....just very curious about it.

Long travel (over 18" of shock travel) without having to cut up the fenders for longer shocks:
