Default Rear Coilover Help

hey guys on my drag truck i need to switch the rear coilovers to a single adjustable. im kind of on a budget and qa1's are looking at like 400 bucks. i have a 12 inch extended 120lb spring rate spring right now. i believe its 12 ill measure tomorrow.

so that means i need a 12 inch extended shock correct? i heard ladder bars need to extended like 3 inchs then they compress and plant the rear is this correct?

any help and place with a good deal or anyone with used ones hit me up. i got a couple races on sunday and need asap so i can practice on this street.

I'd call up Summit, they've got some good budget suspension parts.... I'd get a shock that's a hair longer extended than your spring is when extended

Ever thought about Rancho adjustables?
