I know you would like dual dampers, but what is the problem you are encountering?
If the suspension is bottoming , then stiffer springs and more damping may help. But if the rear axle is bouncing off the ground, then more damping will probably make it worse, as will stiffer springs.
Dual dampers will do 2 things. Keep the damping fluid from overheating, since you will have more area to dissipate the heat. But is this the problem?
And, they will allow you to double the damping rate, but this will only help if you are carrying big loads, otherwise with light or no loads, you will have too much damping.
For rough terrain, long softer springs with just the right amount of damping is best.
Peugeot wagons are much beter than Volvos in this area...........
