How well has the QA1 setup held up over the last couple of years with the 2500HD?

I'm thinking about doing this to my Duramax (2500HD).

Any info would be much appreciated!

Im concerned due to mine being a diesel, and everyone from duramaxdiesels.com cant seem to come up with a solid answer.
How much for a set of your brackets, for the 2500HD crowd?
I would be happy to take pics and post results.

Far as I know, they are still working great. I sold the truck to a guy in Illinois. I believe the setup has logged over 25K, so durability is great.

Thats good to hear! From what you had indicated earlier, you have used the truck for its intended purpose with no consequences.
I do a fair amount of towing with the truck, I have a 20' GN and sometimes I pull a 40' GN, thought the majority of the time, its just a basic daily driver/hot rod.

I'm going to try to give this a whirl whenever I get some more money in!

Thanks!

Well you dont need my lowers due to the shock mount being a different style on the 2500s, and my uppers will not fit the 2500 frame.

Any time you change ride height you should get it realigned.
