QA1, Belltech...whats best?
#1
Well...I did a basic DJM rr spring swap to bring the rr down 2" and level the truck out. Looks much better, and handles wayyyy better - but the drivers side is almost 1" lower than the other 3 corners...wondering if my shock is cooked (stock Bilsteins). If I'm gonna change it will be to a fully adj part (rebound & compression). I've read a few posts recommending the Belltech Street Performers, but dont know much about them.
If anyone can provide some insight I'd appreciate it! In particluar why my driver rear sits lower (cud it be the fuel tank wght?)...

Having run both the Street Performance and QA1 shocks I can offer my opinon...
For track use there is no beating the QA1s but for a more comfortable controlled ride I really like my Belltechs, and the price is by far more affordable. If you want adjustable you have fewer choices.

did you check to see if you have one spring rolled out of the cup a little... have no idea how your pockets are, but I've seen trucks have that problem with coils in the front.
Also you can tweak the opposite t-bar to kind of split the difference and get the AV to sit a little better. I've had to tweak every t-bar suspended vehicle I have ever owned and was always able to get them pretty close.
