Default QA1's rock!

Just got done installing QA1's all the way around, all I can say is bad ***. The truck handles like a vette. I have them set on 5 and it rides smooth as glass, I love it. Me and a buddy of mine set the back ones to 10 and jumped up and down in the bed and the truck did not budge, I can't imagine driving down the road like that but at the track it should be awesome. One of my best purchases so far.

worth every penny in my opinion. A regular shock is about 70 bucks and you have no adjustability and I paid a little more than that to get a awesome ride and the ablity to adjust between everyday driving and track days.

I have the Hotchkis 2/4 drop and the part numbers I used were:

front: hal-rc1540p
rear: hal-tc1539p

For the rears I just removed the bushings from my old shocks and used them on the new ones, the fronts bolted right on.
