I was going to buy some Qa1 TR502 front shocks, but they were not availible until the end of the month. They are longer than our front shocks, but I am stock up front so I want a longer than stock shock.

Sum g7600 are the ones I used on mine. You must run a drop spring with these or cut factory springs. Also you have to use larger washers at the dog bone bolts.

Ok, well I guess this is why I asked, trying to find someone who has installed a set and really noticed a difference, right now I just have the stock ones that are pretty much shot, the front end lifts good but it seems like it dont stay up, comes up quick and falls back down. So I need new ones just dont know what to get.

I'm using Competition Engineering 3 way adjustables. They can be 90/10, 75/25, or 60/40. They aren't to bad priced at $65 a piece.
