Sorry for the delay on my part, between other projects and the recent truck Shootout just been real busy. I'm 4wd and drag race the truck a lot so to keep my CV shaft's flat I don't really plan on lowering the truck. I ordered a set of QA1 coil overs and will list the parts shortly. Once they come in I'll post the pictures.

So you will want to add some steel bearings to that parts list. The included nylon ones wont last 10 minutes.

I went with the steel bearing mount shocks, the DS502s are the poly mounts.

The default bearings are not steel, they are nylon. You want the bearing COM8T-102pk

Damn 121, sorry to hear man. I hope you get it squared away soon.

Three6, no need to apologize you've certainly been a busy man. Your truck is absolutely insane. 4 wheel burnouts and sh*t g-d nuts.
With it being 4wd, is the coil over mounting the same as a 2wd?

Atomic, should I be looking at the same parts? When you talk about bearings?

Gotcha... I'll order the steel bearings asap. Shocks shipped out and should be here the 8th so should have pictures posted then.

As far as 2wd and 4wd go mounts are exactly the same.

Yea...this is what happens to the normal bearings after about 5 minutes and is why complete steel bearings are mandatory.

Three,
I just noticed you are using a 450# rate coil. Seems low, is this because its more for a drag set up?
I'm thinking twice that for me for a street truck.

Atomic.
Do you have at input on rates?

Thanks guys
