Looking for factory quad shock mounts. My truck didn’t come with the option but I think it looks cool. I’ve got the one standard mount on each side, just need the optional extra one on each side. I figured I’d eventually come across a truck with a pair I could get but never have. Anyway, if you have a pair let me know how much with shipping to 77520. Thanks! Also, I know these are riveted in from the factory, no problem with bolting these in or should I try to find a shop that can rivet them in?

You’re fine bolting the brackets on, the holes are probably already there.

Here is a dirty, but sound, driver’s side one that you can have for the cost of shipping. I haven’t found the other one yet. Will look more later.

Just a note here, if you accidentally install them on the wrong sides, they still work fine, lol.

It is my understanding that most dual shock setups are mostly for “looks cool” than they are for “works better.” But there is nothing wrong with your truck looking nicer.

Factory quad shocks are valved differently than a dual shock setup, so the effective result is about equal as a dual shock, but increasing the duty cycle and splitting the load so to speak. Same basic idea as remote reservoir shocks.
