F8L put some QA1 shocks on his truck...............although they were for a different brand they fit pretty good.

Is your truck lowered? Watching some of the videos when mine takes of it seems to squat fairly well. Considering it has edelbrock IAS shocks on it.

I'm not saying the IAS shocks are good for getting of the line. I was just saying that the truck squated on launch better than I expected it to.

Check out this vid. He was running Summit Drop shocks on his and them seemed to squat quite a bit.
