You will need 2 of the following, I don't remember which is the front and which is the rear shock though

TC1576P
TC1958P
BAR350K (Tbar kit for front shocks)

And you will need 4 of these sleeves in order to use the stock rear shock bolts

9033-108

I got mine through Speed Engineering. Sean gave me a good price and is a great person to deal with. I highly recommend them. I do not have any bouncyness in my truck, and the good thing about these shocks is you can go from soft as a caddy to firm as a tank.

can speed engineering provide part numbers for different apps, like a 2/4 drop or stock height?

did you get the sleeves from speed engineering?

any problems mounting the front shocks?

sorry for so many questions but ive searched this topic thoroughly and have only found info on a 4/6 drop app. and not any info about the mounting besides custom machined parts.

I actually ordered the sleeves after the shocks and realizing I needed a different size. I ordered through summit, but thats the part number on the bags direct from Hal so that should be able to be ordered from Speed Engineering also.

As for part numbers for different applications, Sean may know, but I got the part numbers from Hal (makes the QA1 shocks). All they need to know is the measurement from the center of the eyelet to the center of the eyelet on the rear shocks installed while the weight is on them. For the front, they will need to know the measurement from the center eyelet on the bottom to the top of the pocket where the shock mounts. Again, installed and the weight on the shock.

I had no issues installing them. As long as you get the tbar kit for the front and the sleeves for the rear, the bolt right up.
