When I did the adj qa1's on mine, I took the sway bar off. When street driving I tightened the front's up pretty good. It actually handled better than stock shocks with the sway bar. Ditch that ****.

I used to worry about weight distribution. That is until I went 1.50s with a completely stock suspension and no weight removal or transfer. The only thing not stock are the edelbrock IAS shocks on all 4 corners.

It's just something us truck guys have to deal with. You can make it work though.
That's crazy speed! I'm happy to just make it in the 11s with this 5300lbs truck

I bet you won't notice a difference pulling the front sway bar. Plus it weighs like 17lbs.

I took a bunch of measurements and just found a shock on their site that would fit the extended/collapsed/ride height length I needed, then made sure I had the proper mounts and ordered those. You're gonna have to do some measuring.
