Yeah but it wouldn't be a great idea. You would not be able to mount them in the same position. Thats a lot of oil for one spring. I think you would need black springs on every corner. You would be better with just 4 super shocks. I have ran four regular Proline Powerstrokes and four super shocks at the same time. It just makes the truck heavier really. lol If you had the them already it might be fun to try but if you are trying to solve a problem by buying them. I wouldn't. I do(did) wish the supershocks held alittle more oil. You could look at super shocks reservoirs. Maybe someone will post up where to find them. IDK.

But bypass shocks are different than regular power strokes. I think I would increase my jumping performance if I had 4 super shocks with black springs and 4 bypasses.

Proline PowerStrokes were some of the best racing shocks made. Almost infinately tunable. They sadly are discontinued and as said above finding replacement parts will be difficult. UE SuperShocks are retooled Ofna front buggy shocks. For a jumper or basher those would be your best bet. I jump mine off of the New Orleans levee using UE super shocks. When they break I will replace them with the Ofnas.

Everyone says get a set of Ofna front buggy shocks. But they don't say which ones. Do you realize how many buggies Ofna makes?

Ofna Ultra LX1-E
Ofna Hyper 10TT
Ofna Hyper 9 Pro
Ofna Jammin X2 Pro – about 120 mm
Ofna 9.5 – 110 mm ???
UE Super Shocks – 123 mm
Big Bore – 110 mm

Which one is the one that will fit the best?
