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.

Hi Paul,
Only if you have to keep replacing your steering boxes, or do any
serious high speed driving over rough roads, like those in Mexico:

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.

There are cazillion ways to mount that shock absorber, of which the
stock TJ's probably the least effective. Remember if it is installed in
a low position it's outside is merely a reservoir and until it is beaten
enough to leak will have no effect on it ability to absorb punishment:
