IMO can't go wrong with QA1's and custom mounts

Rodney you looking for front and backs or just backs. Speed engineering sells bolt in QA1's but they are for a 4/6 drop. If you do go lower in the back i imagine you would drop the front also so they will work. They are also 12 way adjustable

I've got QA1 single adjustable front and rear on my truck. Don't know the part numbers off the top of my head though. I had to build some spacers for the front to keep them from bottoming out on compression but they still arn't quite long enough for full extension of the suspension. One of the fronts has been leaking for a while and I believe it is completely dead now so it will have to be rebuilt. Like someone said earlier, take some suspension measurements on your truck then look thru the AFCO, QA1, Rancho, Koni, Strange and VariShock catalogs to find one that works with your suspension travel.

Those qa1's don't actually fit very well as a "bolt on"

The front.

If you call speed engineering they should tell you that a customer of theirs "told them" that the 1576P's would bolt right up, so thats why they put them on the website like that. Truth is, they won't even work with a stock spring and need to be modified if using a 2" drop spring. Also, they don't come with the correct lower T, or the correct upper bushing.
