Double front shocks..anyone seen these before

[jcolvin]

My new FJ45 has a strange double front shock setup I have not seen before. It looks factory rather than a cobbled together aftermarket thing. I have a suspicion this unit was once a military setup (it is a 1982 2F 3 speed setup from SE Asia). Is this a factory heavy duty shock mount? Or an aftermarket bracket?

I wonder. It is nicely designed, hooks into the regular shock mount and also the frame in two points. Looks hella strong.

I think, maybe Rancho made the one I have seen before.
