I just finished installing double shocks on the rear of my D1. I am posting some pictures and information incase someone wants to do the same.
For the rear I purchased double lower and upper shock mounts made by African Outback in South Africa. I had to modify the upper mounts as my D1 has a 4" lift and I wanted to lower the upper mounts by 2.5", so I TIG welded a piece of 10mm thick steel to the top of the upper shock mount and redrilled the mounting holes, had everything sandblasted and powder coated in the same yellow color. The rear shocks are LTR04R and N44 on each side. The lower mounts do not require any modifications only some extra mounting holes need to be drilled on the original lower shock mount.
In the rear I have 2" spring spacers and OME763 springs.
The front is straight forward. All I needed to do is drill a 50mm hole through my upper shock tower and cut the steel below it , so the angle fitting on the shock absorber and the braided hose connected to the remote canister can pass through it. In the front I used the LTR01F shock absorber. In the front I have 1" spring spacers and OME764 springs.
